The Anqi CMS was designed with SEO-friendliness in mind, providing website operators with intuitive and powerful tools to manage metadata for category pages.To optimize the category page's SEO title, keywords, and description, we first need to know the specific location of these settings.

Generally, you just need to log in to the AnQi CMS backend and navigate to the "Content Management" module under the "Document CategoryFunction. Here you can see the list of all categories created.Select the category you want to optimize, click the 'Edit' button, and you will enter the detailed editing page for that category.On this page, you will find a name called.The collapsed area. Here, it is the main battlefield for our category page SEO optimization.

In this 'Other Parameters' area, you will see several key input boxes that correspond directly to the search engine's requirements for page metadata:

  1. SEO Title (SEO Title)This is the page title displayed on the search engine results page (SERP) and the browser tab.It is crucial because it directly affects the user's click intention and the search engine's understanding of the page topic.In Anqi CMS, you can set SEO titles separately for each category, making them different from the category names to include more relevant keywords or more attractive descriptions.For example, a category named "Website Construction Tutorial" can be set to have an SEO title such as "AnQi CMS Website Construction Tutorial - From Beginner to Expert | Secrets to Boosting Website Traffic".
  2. Keyword (keyword)This field is used to inform the search engine of the core theme of the category page.Although modern search engines no longer give as much weight to Meta Keywords as they used to, a reasonable setup can still help search engines better understand page content.In AnQi CMS, you can manually enter keywords highly relevant to the category topic, and remember to use English commas,Separate it, this conforms to the common identification habits of search engines. It is recommended to choose 2-5 core keywords and avoid over-stacking.

Category Introduction (Description)Here is the description, which not only summarizes the classification content but also a brief abstract of the text below the title on the search engine results page.This text is one of the key factors to attract users to click, and it should use concise and attractive language to summarize the highlights of the category page content, and naturally integrate core keywords.In Anqi CMS, if you do not manually fill in this item, the system may automatically extract the first 150 characters of the category content as a description.However, to achieve **SEO effects, it is strongly recommended that you manually write a high-quality category description, usually controlled within 120-150 words.
  4. Custom URL (Custom URL)This is not a direct TDK setting, but it also has a profound impact on the SEO of category pages.The AnQi CMS supports pseudo-static, allowing you to create clear, meaningful, and keyword-rich URL paths for categories, rather than long dynamic parameters.For example, to/category.php?id=123Optimized to/web-development-tutorials.htmlThis not only improves the user experience, but also enhances the search engine's understanding and crawling efficiency of the page content.
