Hi i dont know whether i am just being dumb but my site http://www.livelifesports.co.uk basically doesnt have a description and is very hard to find on google unless you type in the actual web address. I have got a meta tag description that i have recently put in but it hasnt come up on google and its been there for a few weeks. Is there anything im missing?
Also i would ideally like people to be able to search for me in google and when they see my site in the search engine for it not just to have a description but to have some headings underneath like some of the big companies do. See example below

Having Links under your site name in the search results will come with time if Google deems your site important enough.
I have added as much detail as possible and yet my site still isnt coming up in google when i search for it. Please can i have a bit of help or am i painly just being stupid or does it take time?
To get the sitelinks you need to get some backlinks and also Google gives weight to older domain names so you will probably have to wait a little bit. And nowdays is even harder especially for newly registered domains.sbproduction wrote:Hi i dont know whether i am just being dumb but my site http://www.livelifesports.co.uk basically doesnt have a description and is very hard to find on google unless you type in the actual web address.

What i dont understand is why do you have to put site:www.livelifesports.co.uk as no one is going to type that into google when they are looking for what i stock.
Sorry, I was merely showing you that you had many products indexed with that link.
I have viewed the source of your categories and products pages and there is no META Description tag.
This could be a fault with your template.
Could you please tell us what version of OC your store is using.

Version 1.4.9.3
Is there a module that will add in meta tags and discriptions in those categories and products?

Just looking at the code for 1.4.9.3 (i am not familiar with 1.4.x)
I see there are fields for META Description for both categories and products.
Are you entering these when editing the categories and products ?
If so, it looks like your template may be the problem for which you will need to contact the developer of the theme.

im not entering them. it would take ages is there a module that does it automatically? By the way i appreciate all your help
Cant say I've found one.
Have a gander at our Exntension store.
It would probably need a function creating that grabs the product description and for categories the category description.
Truncates it to 255 characters max or the nearest full-stop (period) or space before the 255th character and the inserts that into the meta description field on insert or update.

This should do the trick
open: catalog/controller/product/category.php
find
change to
open: catalog/controller/product/product.php
find:
change to:
open: catalog/controller/product/category.php

Code: Select all
$this->document->description = $category_info['meta_description'];
Code: Select all
$this->document->description = substr(strip_tags(html_entity_decode($category_info['description'], ENT_QUOTES, 'UTF-8')),0,255);

It doesnt add them in the fields in admin
It pulls the Meta description from the description field on the frontend only
Making the meta description field in admin for categories and products obsolete
