SEO controls and schema markup

Page titles, descriptions, schema markup, llms.txt, 301 redirects and a cookie consent banner.

Why it matters

Give search engines and AI assistants clear information about your business.

The HLB difference

SEO settings sit next to the page editor.

How it works

Set page titles, descriptions, schema, redirects and llms.txt so search engines and AI tools understand you.

SEO controls help search engines and AI tools understand your HLB websites and funnels, and they can help keep visitors from hitting dead ends.

  • Schema markup: in a page's SEO & AI search optimization settings, generate markup with AI from the page's content, or add it manually from more than 140 types, such as Local Business, FAQ Page and Service, using a form or JSON. You can add several schemas to one page. Validate, save and publish the page. Schema is set per page.
  • llms.txt: under Settings > Domains and URL Redirects, add a Markdown summary of your site and its key pages. It is published at the root of the domain and can help your site pass AI-focused audits. Each domain and subdomain has its own file, and new pages are not added automatically.
  • 301 redirects: on the URL Redirects tab, send an old path or a whole domain to a custom URL, a funnel step or a website page when a page is renamed or moved. Use clean paths without special characters.
  • Custom 404 page: in your domain settings, pick a page to show when a page is not found, with links back to your homepage or key pages.
  • Cookie banner: lets visitors accept essential or all cookies, or pick categories. You choose the text, colors, layout and the regions where it appears.
  • URL parameters: insert values from the page URL, such as a city, into headings and buttons, with a default value and text formatting.

A roofer with landing pages for different cities could add Local Business schema, redirect retired pages and greet visitors by city.
