Meta Description - Collections All

Topic summary

A site owner discovered duplicate meta descriptions between their homepage and /collections page through a Semrush audit.

The Issue:

  • The collections page is a default Shopify page displaying all collections at once
  • Individual collection pages can have custom meta descriptions, but there’s no apparent way to edit the overall “all collections” page
  • This duplication negatively impacts SEO

Proposed Solution:
Another user suggested adding conditional code to the collection.liquid theme file to programmatically set unique meta descriptions. A code snippet was provided but appears corrupted/reversed in the original post.

Status: The discussion remains open with one potential technical solution offered, awaiting implementation or further clarification.

Hi,

I ran an audit on my site via Semrush and received the error that two of my pages are showing duplicate meta descriptions. The two webpages are https://believeinthespectrum.shop/ and https://believeinthespectrum.shop/collections . I can change the meta description of each individual collections page, but see nowhere to update the overall collections page of my site. How can I fix this?

Thanks!

It comes by default from Shopify and it shows all of my collections at once. I would like to add a Meta title and description, since it has a negative influence on my SEO.

Could anyone help? (using Dawn theme).

try this in your collection.liquid file

{% if template == 'collection' %}
  
{% endif %}
