Are Metafields Used for SEO?
While metafields are different from standard web metadata, Shopify reserves two special metafields for SEO purposes:
| Metafield | Purpose |
|---|---|
global.title_tag | SEO title (meta title) |
global.description_tag | SEO description (meta description) |
These system metafields store the meta title and description for:
- Products
- Collections
- Pages
- Blogs
You can edit these SEO metafields directly in Metafield Studio, giving you control over how your resources appear in search engine results.
