General Settings

Last updated Sep 11, 2026

Configure portal-wide settings under Portal Settings → General.

Required Settings Permalink for this section

• Portal name. How the portal identifies itself in titles, meta tags, schema
• URL structure. Subdomain (compare.acme.com) or path (acme.com/compare). Subdomain treats it as a separate site for SEO; path inherits parent domain authority.
• Default language. English (US) is most common for B2B SaaS
• Time zone. Affects scheduling and analytics

Recommended Settings Permalink for this section

• Robots policy. Allow indexing on all public portals
• Default meta description template. Use variables like {title} and {category} for consistent, dynamic descriptions
• Default Open Graph image. Branded fallback image for social sharing

URL Structure Decision Permalink for this section

Use a subdomain when:

• The portal is editorially independent (e.g., a glossary or news site)
• You want to track it as a separate property in Search Console
• You're testing without affecting your primary site

Use a path when:

• The portal directly supports the main site (e.g., comparison pages for your product)
• You want to share domain authority
• SEO consolidation matters more than separation

For most product-focused portals, use a path.

Quick Validation Permalink for this section

After saving general settings, visit your portal URL and confirm:
