Use this for landing pages or minimal layouts. - **Hide Breadcrumbs?** Removes the breadcrumb trail normally displayed at the top of the page. - **Hide Footer Navigation?** Hides the navigation links that normally appear in the footer area of your site. - **Display Sidebar on This Page?** Toggles whether the sidebar displays on this page. - **Full / Fluid Width Page?** Expands the page content to use the full width of the browser window. Useful for modern, clean layouts. - **Page-Specific Sidebar** Select a specific sidebar or choose to remove it entirely. Sidebars are managed in the **Sidebar Manager**. - **Open In** Choose how the page opens when clicked (e.g., same tab or new tab). - **Page Priority (SEO)** Assign a page priority value between **0.0 and 1.0**. Higher values signal to search engines that this page is more important. - **Robots / Page Indexing (SEO)** Choose whether the page should be **indexed** by search engines. Useful for excluding landing pages or internal content from search results. [back to the top](https://help.sierrainteractive.com/helpcenter/unlocking-page-customization-for-better-seo-and-user-experience#top-of-page) ### Best Practices - Use **Hide Navigation** settings for clean, focused landing pages. - Assign **Page Priority** based on importance for SEO. - Don’t forget to update your **Page-Specific Sidebar** to reflect the page’s topic. - Use **Full Width** only when no sidebar or minimal distraction is needed. --- [back to the top](https://help.sierrainteractive.com/helpcenter/unlocking-page-customization-for-better-seo-and-user-experience#top-of-page) ### Troubleshooting Common Issues - **Issue:** Page not showing up in the submenu - **Fix:** Make sure “Include in Dynamic Navigation Menus?” is set to **Yes** and Submenu Type in Section Manager is set to “Pages in Section”. - **Issue:** Page looks broken or misaligned - **Fix:** Check if “Full / Fluid Width Page?” is conflicting with sidebar or layout components. - **Issue:** Page is appearing in Google when it shouldn’t - **Fix:** Update the **Robots/Page Indexing** setting to restrict search engine access. [back to the top](https://help.sierrainteractive.com/helpcenter/unlocking-page-customization-for-better-seo-and-user-experience#top-of-page) ---   ### FAQs - **Can I apply different sidebars to each page?** Yes. Use the “Page-Specific Sidebar” dropdown to assign any sidebar you’ve created in the Sidebar Manager. - **What happens if I don’t assign a Page Priority?** Sierra defaults the value to **0.5**, which is considered neutral by search engines. - **Will hiding the header/footer affect SEO?** No, but it can impact user experience if navigation options are missing from key pages.
