Page Metadata

Metadata is information about your page that is invisible to visitors, but important for AI agents (GEO), search engines (SEO), and social media sites that want to embed your content.

To add metadata to your page in document-based authoring, create a table like the following at the end of the document. For more information how to create a table, see the product documentation:

• Document Authoring
• Microsoft Word
• Google Docs

Structure your table like this:

The first row of the table should just contain the word “Metadata”. This tells AEM that what follows is metadata for your document.

Then create one row for each metadata property. The left column contains the name of the metadata property, the right column the value. In most cases, values are plain text, but as you can see from the “image” row above, sometimes other content can be used, too.

You’ve just created a metadata block.

To preview and publish your changes, follow the instructions in the Authoring document.

Bulk Metadata

You can also manage metadata for many pages at once. See the document Bulk Metadata for more information.

Omitting Metadata Values

If you want to remove a metadata value, you can simply add its property name in the left column and leave its value empty in the right column.
