Frequently Asked Questions
Is Showit good for SEO?
Yes. Showit is fully SEO-capable. It gives you control over page titles, meta descriptions, URL slugs, heading tags, alt text, share images, schema markup, redirects, and sitemap submission. The platform also pairs with WordPress for blogging, which means you get the full power of Yoast or Rank Math for content SEO.
Where is the SEO Settings panel in Showit?
Click the page name in the left sidebar (not a canvas inside the page). In the right panel, you will see a section called SEO Settings. It contains Page Title, Meta Description, Page URL, and Share Image.
Does the Showit mobile canvas affect SEO?
Yes, heavily. Google uses mobile-first indexing, which means it reads your mobile canvas to determine ranking. Always audit the mobile canvas for headings, body copy, alt text, and internal links.
Can I add schema markup to a Showit website?
Yes. Showit does not have a native schema builder, but you can paste JSON-LD code into the Custom Head HTML field in Site Settings or per-page Advanced Settings.
Do I need WordPress for Showit SEO?
Not strictly for static pages. But if you want to publish ongoing blog content and build topical authority, the WordPress integration is essential.
