Customize the meta description of the opportunity page:
Go to the administration panel
Go to the settings
In the navigation bar, go to "Customize names"
If necessary, scroll down a bit until you see the heading "Meta titel for discover opportunities page"
Edit the meta title and meta description
There are four fields for the meta description:
Meta title for the discover opportunities page
Meta title for the discover opportunities page with a city filter
Meta description for the opportunities activities page
Meta description for the discover opportunities page with a city filter
When you modify the meta title/description for the discover opportunities page, you modify them for the opportunities page without a city filter. The other two are the title and description if there is a city filter.
You don't have to add your own description for each city: instead of the city name, use a variable that automatically changes to the name of the filtered city: %{city} (you can take the default values below as an example). Since users are often looking for volunteer activities in their own city, this is an important variable to use!
If you haven't adjusted the meta title and meta description, the following default values are used in English and Dutch:
Meta titel for discover opportunities page | Volunteer in your community |
| Vrijwilligerswerk in jouw stad |
Meta titel for discover opportunities page with city filter set | Volunteer in %{city} |
| Vrijwilligerswerk in %{city} |
Meta description for discover opportunities page | Discover volunteering and sign up (with Photo's and Filters). Find impactful, fun and social activities based on the causes you care about! |
| Zoek vrijwilligerswerk en meld je aan (met Foto's & Filters). Vind impactvolle, leuke en sociale activiteiten gebaseerd op jouw interesses en waar jij om geeft! |
