SEO Title and Desc for Automated Pages

Shopify Discussion

Topic summary

Issue: how to set custom SEO title and meta description for Shopify’s auto-generated /products and /collections pages (the “all products” and “all collections” indexes), not individual product/collection pages.

Initial guidance focused on per-product/collection edits via the Search engine listing (Edit website SEO) with screenshots. This does not address the auto-generated index pages.

Clarification: the OP needs to override the default, auto-populated tags for /products and /collections. They note there’s no native Shopify control for these pages.

Suggestions:

  • An app (Seopro) was proposed for bulk editing product/collection SEO, but it likely doesn’t affect the /products or /collections index pages.
  • A practical workaround is to edit the theme code: add and tags within the of the templates that render those pages (theme-dependent), ensuring they apply specifically to /products and /collections.

Notes: SEO title/meta description are the HTML and meta description tags used by search engines. Shared screenshots are illustrative but not central.

Status: No confirmed native Shopify method surfaced. Current path is theme-level customization; discussion remains open for a built-in solution.

It’s comical how over their heads these first replies are. What I’m gathering is that you’re looking at how to edit the page title and metadescripition of the all products and all collections pages automatically created my shopify. I’m unaware of a way to get there like you would with specific products/collections. So I believe it would have to be directly in the theme code. In the of the page you’re looking for depending on your theme you can add a page title:

or meta description:

Just make sure they’re in the tags of the page you’re looking for. And if anyone knows a native way, please let me know!
