By Sudhanshu Kumar Rai

In this guide, we'll learn how to add and customize meta titles and descriptions for individual blog pages using custom fields. This process helps improve how each blog post appears in search results and allows for better control over page information.

We'll look at how to create and update these fields in your blog template, so each post can have its own meta data.

Let's get started

As you mentioned, we are unable to change the meta title and description at the page level. I looked into it to figure out the issue. Here is what I learned. I will guide you through it. First, let me show you an individual blog page, specifically the post template that will be used sitewide for all blogs.

Step #1: Click here

So, so that is... This is the template.

Step #2: Click here

If you look into it, you'll find a blog title and a blog excerpt, which are not usually present on the RealityMine website. I will explain how this was created and how it works in the following pages.

This is one of the blog posts.

Click on "digital"
Step #6: Click on "digital"

Let me show you that a title is being called here. This excerpt is also being called here.

Double-click on "5 ways to improve your digital project management"

Double-click on "Viverra tristique gravida dolor vel aenean egestas libero enim consequat arcu augue euismod est"
Step #8: Double-click on "Viverra tristique gravida dolor vel aenean egestas libero enim consequat arcu augue euismod est"

But in our case, it is not present.

Click on "←"
Step #9: Click on "←"

So, what... How do you add it? We need to go to the settings.

10
Click on "Settings"
Step #10: Click on "Settings"

As you can see, the blog title is present, and the excerpt is also present. If it is not available, we can create a meta description.

11
Click on "+ Add Field"
Step #11: Click on "+ Add Field"
12
Click on "Plain text"
Step #12: Click on "Plain text"

It is done. Save this field.

Type "Meta Description"
14
Click on "Save Field"
Step #14: Click on "Save Field"

You can adjust additional settings, such as setting the minimum character count and other options.

15

Step #15: Click here

Click on "E.g. 20"
Step #16: Click on "E.g. 20"

This field is required.

17

Step #17: Click on "is"

You can do it the same way.

18
Click on "Save Field"
Step #18: Click on "Save Field"
19
Click on "Save Collection"
Step #19: Click on "Save Collection"

Save the collection. The collection has been saved.

20
Click on "Q"
Step #20: Click on "Q"

Go back to that page. This is the template. Now, the template has the same features.

21
Click here
Step #21: Click here

Now, we will move on to the excerpt.

22
Click here
Step #22: Click here
23
Type "Backspace"

We can delete it. We can also add a meta description here.

24
Click on "+ Add Field"
Step #24: Click on "+ Add Field"
25
Click on "Description"
Step #25: Click on "Description"

Now, every page will have a meta description. That meta description will be automatically applied to the pages.

26
Click on "Save"
Step #26: Click on "Save"

Now, let me return to the blog and show you.

27
Click on "Ө"
Step #27: Click on "Ө"

Previously, there was only an excerpt field. Now, you have a field to add the meta description.

28
Click on "A comprehensive guide on Agile development"
Step #28: Click on "A comprehensive guide on Agile development"

Um, okay. "" This is a blog post.

29
Click on "10 items"
Step #29: Click on "10 items"

Okay.

30
Click here
Step #30: Click here
31
Click here
Step #31: Click here

This is the meta description, which is currently blank.

32
Double-click here
Step #32: Double-click here

You can add a meta description here. You can also add a custom meta title and other details, so it will work. We need to create a few custom fields for individual blogs, and they should be sorted. I have shared the reference videos and also explained it using a dummy website. I was also looking at the RealityMine website, but we currently don't have access to create fields.

33

Step #33: Click here
34
Click on "Webflow - RealityMine"
Step #34: Click on "Webflow - RealityMine"

For now, if we have access, I can do that. Otherwise, it is very easy to customize these things. I think we can go ahead and sort this here.
