The SEO Overview within your Site Dashboard serves as a centralized hub for managing and reviewing SEO settings across your entire site. Here, you can view a summary of your site's SEO health and address issues to improve its ranking in search results.
Distinct Views
Note
By default, users can only view errors, page meta tags, and alt text images for indexed pages. If a page has No-Index selected or are set to draft, it will not be visible. Users can unselect the Indexed Only checkbox to view issues for all pages on the site.
SEO Overview offers three distinct views: ‘All’, ‘Needs Attention’, and ‘Recommended.
- In All, also the default view, you will find a comprehensive display of both addressed and non-addressed categories of SEO settings. Use this view to gain a holistic understanding of your site's SEO status.
- In Needs Attention, you will find category highlights with potential issues that may require immediate action. Use this view for identifying critical issues that require prompt resolution.
- In Recommended, you will discover categories suggesting non-mandatory opportunities for enhancing SEO. Use this view to explore recommendations to further optimize your site's performance and visibility.
Each view features rows and nested rows with status type indicators for SEO settings. These indicators include a status label, a brief description, and options to View Details or Fix it.

- High Priority. Indicates an issue of utmost importance that demands immediate attention. (Displayed in red)
