You can include search engine optimization (SEO) metadata in your theme using HTML and Liquid. There are three main aspects to consider: - The [title tag](#the-title-tag) - The [meta description](#the-meta-description) - [Canonical URLs](#canonical-urls) The code for the above SEO metadata should be included in the `` element.

The title for most pages can be set in the admin, and you can access this title with the Liquid [page_title object](/docs/api/liquid/objects/page_title). ### The meta description You can include a `<meta>` element for search engines to read the page description from. The description for most pages can be set in the admin, and you can access this description with the Liquid [page_description object](/docs/api/liquid/objects/page_description). ### Canonical URLs You can specify a canonical URL for a given page using the global Liquid [canonical_url object](/docs/api/liquid/objects/canonical_url).
