These settings are completely optional, but using them can help improve how your page looks and performs when it's shared online or appears in search results. Clicking **Advanced** reveals the following options: ![](https://help.locable.com/hs-fs/hubfs/image-png-May-21-2025-02-53-26-8474-PM.png?width=2124&height=872&name=image-png-May-21-2025-02-53-26-8474-PM.png) ### **Page Name and Pathname** When you create a new page and enter a **Page Title**, the **Name** and **Pathname** fields will automatically fill in based on that title once you Save the changes to the page. This helps speed up the setup process and ensures consistency across your site. - **Name**: Used internally to help you identify the page in your list of pages - **Pathname**: Becomes part of the page’s web address (URL) > You can edit either of these fields if needed, but in most cases, the default values will work just fine. ### Advanced Settings While optional, these settings can enhance how your page is displayed online and increase its effectiveness when shared or found in search engines. #### **Hide Navigation**: This setting lets you remove the site's navigation menu from the page. - Use this to create a **standalone landing page**—a page that focuses attention on a single action like: - Downloading a coupon - Signing up for a newsletter - Scheduling an appointment Without the usual navigation links, there are **fewer distractions**, helping your visitors stay focused on the specific task you want them to complete. #### **Hide Page from Search Engines:** Checking this box prevents search engines like Google from indexing your page. When to use it: - For **thank you pages** after a form is submitted - Temporary pages under construction - Internal pages not meant for public discovery via search > People can still view the page if they have the link—it’s just not searchable on Google or Bing. #### **Page Description**: This is a short text summary of your page that may appear in: - Google search results - Facebook or social media previews - Email previews 💡 **Best Practices:** - **Keep it short and punchy**—about **160 characters or less** - Think of it like a movie trailer: **tease the content without giving it all away** - Make people curious so they’ll want to click and learn more > If you leave this blank, Google or social platforms may pull in the first line of your page’s content automatically—which might not be as compelling. #### **Page Head Injection (Custom Code)** This field is for **adding custom code to this specific page only**—it inserts code into the page’s `` section. **Common uses:** - Adding **custom tracking scripts** (e.g. for Facebook Pixel or Google Ads) - Applying **page-specific CSS or JavaScript** - Including **verification codes** (e.g. for third-party tools) **NOTE:** This feature is for advanced users or developers. If you're unsure, check with your web manager or contact support before adding code. #### **Custom OG:Image (Open Graph Image):** This is the image that shows up when someone shares your page on social media, like Facebook. - Why it matters: A strong, relevant image can make your post more eye-catching—and **more likely to get clicked**. **PRO TIPS:**  - Use a **high-quality image**, at least **1200 x 630 pixels** - Choose something relevant and visually appealing that supports your message   #### If the wrong image shows up on Facebook: Sometimes Facebook pulls an outdated or incorrect image. Here's how to fix it: 1. Visit [Facebook's Debug Tool](https://developers.facebook.com/tools/debug/) 2. Paste in your page URL 3. Click **Debug**, then click **Rescrape** This tells Facebook to refresh what it knows about your page. > If you don’t set a custom image, Facebook and Google will choose one for you—often the first image on the page, which might not look great or represent your message well. ### **Why Use These Settings?** Adding a good meta description and a custom image can: - Improve how your content appears on social media - Help it show up better in search results - Encourage more people to **click**, **visit**, and **engage** with your page 👉 **It takes less than a minute, and it can make a big difference.**   -
