As a website operator who is deeply familiar with the operation of AnQiCMS, I know the actual value of each CMS functional field.When we navigate in the AnQiCMS background, in addition to the display name and link address of the navigation, there is also a field named 'Navigation Description'. It may look like just a simple text box, but it carries a variety of practical functions in actual operation.It is not only supplementary text information, but also a key factor for enhancing user experience, optimizing content strategy, and indirectly helping with search engine optimization.
The main function of this 'navigation description' field is to provide a brief introduction text for navigation links.According to the navigation setting instructions in the AnQiCMS document, we can use this field to add an introductory text to the current navigation item, thus achieving the purpose of displaying a brief introduction on the navigation.This means that in practical applications, when the user hovers over a navigation link or it is directly displayed in some template design, this description text can be clearly presented to the user.
On the content strategy and information architecture level, the navigation description field provides more flexibility for operations personnel.By carefully written navigation descriptions, we can highlight the core value or update highlights of a specific page.For example, a navigation description of a "news center" can be updated to "Get the latest industry trends and company announcements", suggesting the timeliness and importance of the content on this page.Additionally, when there are multiple categories with similar features or topics, the description field can help differentiate them and guide users to the page that best meets their needs.例如，if there are both 'Product A download materials' and 'Product B download materials', the descriptions can be 'Download detailed manuals and drivers for Product A' and 'Get the user manual and firmware updates for Product B', which is undoubtedly clearer and more explicit than simply displaying the category name.
Although 'navigation description' will not directly participate in ranking as the main keyword of the page, it still has an indirect positive impact on search engine optimization (SEO).Search engines analyze the structure and text content of websites to understand the themes and relevance of each page.Navigation description as link surrounding text information can provide additional semantic signals about the content of the target page to search engines.It enhances the "anchor text" effect of navigation links, helping search engines understand more accurately what the target page of the link is about.When user experience is improved, the website bounce rate decreases, the user stay time increases, and these positive user behavior signals will also be captured by search engines, which may have a positive impact on the overall ranking of the website.At the same time, for those cases where it is inconvenient to use long-tail keywords as link names in navigation, navigation description provides an effective way to supplement these keywords.
In summary, the 'navigation description' field in AnQiCMS is not optional, but a powerful tool in the hands of website operators.It plays a crucial role in enhancing user experience, optimizing content strategy, indirectly aiding SEO, and improving website accessibility.Reasonably using this field can make your website more efficient and accurate in information delivery, thus better serving users and business goals.
