## Admin Console SEO user interface

The SEO user interface in Optimizely <<product-name>>, located within the **Admin Console** \> **Websites** \> click **Edit** for the desired website \> click the **SEO** finger tab), allows end users to manage the indexing of site pages, dictating which pages will be shown to the search engine and which ones will remain hidden. This flexible user interface allows site administrators to effectively manage and implement their business's marketing strategy.



Within the **SEO Settings** page, users can select or deselect which pages will be displayed to search crawlers or delivered to the search engine via a sitemap. The **SEO Settings** page also provides the option to hide all products from a search crawler by clicking the **Hide all products from search engines** toggle.

## CMS SEO user interface

Website pages can also be added or removed from the sitemap from within <<product-name>>'s built in Content Management System (CMS). Accessing the desired page's in-context editing field allows administrators to hide the page from search engines.
