Experience Description (Internal Only) — A description of your experience for internal reference.
Experience Language — Select the language for your experience from the dropdown menu.

Access and URL

The Access and URL settings allow you to control who can access your Website Builder experience and configure the URL.

To configure the Access and URL settings, follow these steps:

Edit the experience.
Click the settings icon in the editor.
Click Access and URL in the left navigation.

Restrict Public Access

Access Control — Select an access control profile for your site. By default, sites are set to Public, meaning anyone with the URL can access the experience. To restrict access, select a custom access control profile from the dropdown. You can manage access control profiles in Account Settings.

URL

Your current site's URLs are displayed in a table showing the Active status and Initial Domain for your experience. Each experience is assigned a default domain in the format site-XXXXXXXX.bcvp0rtal.com.

To use a custom domain for this site, create one in Account Settings. For more information, see Configuring Custom Domains and SSL.

SEO

The SEO settings allow you to configure how your Website Builder experience is indexed by search engines and how it appears when shared on social media.

To configure the SEO settings, follow these steps:

Edit the experience.
Click the settings icon in the editor.
Click SEO in the left navigation.

The following settings are available:

Site Details — Configure the site description, image, keywords, and meta tags
Site Map — Configure site map settings

Configuring the site details

Use site description in search engine results and when site is shared — When checked, the site description will be used in the <meta> description tags, including Facebook and Twitter meta tags. If not checked, the description for the featured video is used instead.
Site Description — The description of your site that appears in search engine results and when the site is shared on social media. Click Edit Description to modify the text.
Site Image (recommended size: 1200px × 630px) — The image that will be shown when the home page of your site is shared on Facebook or Twitter. Drag and drop an image, click browse to select a file, or paste an image URL and click Add.
Keywords — Meta keywords that will be added to all site pages. For example, adding "videos,training,product demos" will result in a corresponding <meta> keywords tag being added to the page HTML.
Meta Tags — Used to add additional meta tags for the site. These tags will be added to all site pages. For example:
```
<meta name="myCustomTag" content="myCustomValue">
```
Click Learn More for additional information on supported meta tag formats.
Include custom video fields in page metadata — When checked, custom video fields will be added as meta tags. For example, a custom field of year with a value of 2024 will add:
```
<meta name="year" content="2024">
```
Include canonical URL in page metadata — When checked, a rel=canonical meta tag will be added to the page source. This tells search engines to treat pages with different URL parameters as a single entry, which helps improve SEO. For example, mysite.com/video/mypage.html is treated the same as mysite.com/video/mypage.html?username=foobar. Click Learn More for additional information.

Configuring the site map

Include video tags in site map — When checked, video tags will be included in your site map. Note that only the first 32 tags for each video are included. Adding tags to the site map exposes them to search engine web crawlers, allowing visitors to find videos based on video tags.

Preventing a site from being indexed

There may be times when you want to prevent a site from being indexed by search engines. This can be done by adding a noindex meta tag in the Meta Tags field:

<meta name="robots" content="noindex,nofollow">

Third-Party Tracking

Tracking ID — Enter your Google Analytics tracking ID (e.g., UA-XXXXX-X or G-XXXXXXXXXX) to enable Google Analytics tracking on your experience. Once configured, page view and event data will be sent to your Google Analytics account.

Google Tag Manager <head> — Copy and paste the <head> portion of the Google Tag Manager container snippet. This code should be copied from your Google Tag Manager account.
Google Tag Manager <body> — Copy and paste the <body> portion of the Google Tag Manager container snippet. This code should be copied from your Google Tag Manager account.
