Page Visibility

If you don't want your Landing Page to appear in search results, toggle Page visibility to off. This adds the following meta tag to your Landing Page, instructing web crawlers to ignore the page:

<META NAME="ROBOTS" CONTENT="NOINDEX, NOFOLLOW">

Landing Pages in Search Results

For a Landing Page to appear in a search engine, it must first be indexed by a web crawler. For the web crawler to find your page, your website must contain a link to the Landing Page. (In other words, you must publish the link.)

If you have a Custom Marketing Domain, your Landing Pages will reflect your brand URL. Your web administrator can control how your Act-On Landing Pages are indexed by creating a sitemap, a robots.txt file, and using SEO audit tools with major search engines such as Google Search Console.

If you do not have a custom marketing domain set up, your pages will show in search results from the domain actonsoftware.com. (This is one reason we highly suggest creating a Custom Marketing Domain!) Act-On does not create sitemaps or submit sitemaps to Google. Activity from web crawlers, such as page views, is ignored.

Image Resolution Best Practices
For Facebook, you will want to use images that are at least 1200x630 pixels for optimal display on high-resolution devices. Your images should be at least 600x315 pixels to display as a large image. Any images smaller than 600x315 pixels will display as a thumbnail.
