Are Metafields Used for SEO?

While metafields are different from standard web metadata, Shopify reserves two special metafields for SEO purposes:

MetafieldPurpose
global.title_tagSEO title (meta title)
global.description_tagSEO 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.
