Content and SEO information
Note when an update changes your SEO information.
Not every website change is planned. Observe the SEO information of important pages and check whether the intended values are still delivered after a CMS or template update.
In the SEO Suite from Pro · weekly, from Business daily with the website crawl.
If several people are working on the site
A small intervention can affect many sides.
A new template, a plugin update or a change in the CMS: On the website, everything looks familiar at first. Only later does it become apparent that several performance pages carry the same title. Especially information that is hardly noticeable in the normal side picture can be lost in daily work.
The SEO Suite can regularly check selected pages for changes to page titles, meta descriptions and H1. For a consciously manageable selection of important URLs, you can see which information has changed between two checks.
These sites deserve a permanent place
- Service pages through which new requests are to be generated.
- Important product categories and central guides.
- Pages whose texts or templates are currently being revised.
- A representative example of each frequently used page type.
The choice depends on your website. A small, well-founded list is often easier to evaluate in everyday life than a large number of messages without a recognizable priority.
Following a notification:
Was the change intended?
A changed heading is not automatically an error. Perhaps the editors have clarified the text. Perhaps the template also delivers an empty value. The message is the starting point for this distinction.
1. View URL and Field
Check whether it is about the page title, the description or the H1. Compare the previous one with the current value and open the affected page.
2. Compare with the last work on the website
Was there an editorial change or a release? If necessary, check a second page of the same template. In this way, you are more likely to recognize whether the intervention is local or systematic.
3. Correction and verification
Recover an inadvertently removed value or correct the template. Then check the delivered page and the next measurement. Record expected changes in your own work log.
Combining monitoring appropriately
Not every website change is a text change.
For SEO information
“Content & SEO” refers to Title, Description and H1. This is not a complete version management of all texts and not a visual before-and-after comparison. Whether an image, layout or a single paragraph has changed, check in a different way if necessary.
For technical effects
New noindex statements or modified canonicals are part of Indexability monitoring. For new and removed sitemap entries, the Sitemap monitoring available. Select the monitoring after which change would affect your website.
Inside the SEO Suite
Select important URLs and set messages.
Open the project and enable “Content & SEO information” monitoring. Deposit the desired landing pages and check the email settings. After the first detection, the stored state serves as the basis for later comparisons.
From Pro for 39 € net in the month
For monthly payment, plus VAT. Monitoring is part of the SEO suite. The selected URLs must be able to be entered in the respective checking and tariff scope; project and URL quotas apply jointly per account.
Entry
Start with a few business-important pages. After the first check, check whether the desired fields have been recorded. Then expand your selection by additional page types – based on your actual website, not on any desired number.
Good to know
Change monitoring issues
What content is compared with each other?
The “Content & SEO” monitoring compares page titles, meta description and H1 of the selected pages. It is not a complete text archive and not a visual screenshot comparison of your website.
Do I get an email immediately with every change?
The check is done with the website crawl, in Pro weekly and from Business daily. Email messages depend on the monitoring and notification settings enabled. A real-time message for each processing is not promised.
Can I restore earlier text versions?
No. The before-and-after values recorded help to investigate a change. They do not replace CMS versioning or backups and do not automatically restore content.
Does every changed H1 need to be corrected?
No. A change can be a planned improvement. Check the new value, the affected page type and the relationship with the last edit. The monitoring reports a change; the professional evaluation remains with you.
