How Do I Change the Tab on Webflow?

If you’re using Webflow to build your website, you might have wondered how to change the tab that appears on the browser. The tab, also known as the title tag, is a small but essential element for your website’s branding and SEO. In this tutorial, I’ll show you how to easily change the tab on Webflow.

The Basics of the Title Tag

Before we dive into the process, let’s understand what the title tag is and why it matters. The title tag is an HTML element that specifies the title of a web page. It appears on the browser tab when you open a webpage and is also used by search engines as a primary source of information about your page.

Here are a few reasons why changing the title tag is important:

  • Branding: A well-crafted title tag can help reinforce your brand identity and make your website more memorable to visitors.
  • SEO: Search engines use the title tag as a ranking factor, so optimizing it with relevant keywords can improve your website’s visibility in search results.
  • User Experience: A clear and descriptive title tag provides users with a glimpse of what they can expect from your webpage.

Changing the Title Tag in Webflow

To change the title tag in Webflow, follow these steps:

  1. Login to your Webflow account and open your project.
  2. In the Designer view, navigate to the Pages panel on the left-hand side.
  3. Select the page whose title tag you want to change.
  4. In the Page Settings panel on the right-hand side, locate the “SEO” tab.
  5. Click on the title field and enter your desired title for the page.
  6. Once you’re satisfied with the new title tag, click on the “Publish” button to make it live on your website.

Note: It’s important to keep your title tag concise (around 50-60 characters) and relevant to the content of your page. Including relevant keywords can also help improve search engine visibility.

Previewing the Changes

To preview how your new title tag will appear in a browser, you can use Webflow’s built-in preview feature:

  1. In the Designer view, click on the “Preview” button at the top-right corner of the screen.
  2. A new tab will open with a preview of your website. The tab’s title should now reflect your updated title tag.
