Product SEO information | BigCommerce Developer Center

International Enhancements for Multi-Storefront

This feature is currently available for Enterprise stores and Partner Sandboxes. If the feature is not working as expected, please contact technical support, as the feature likely needs to be enabled for the individual store. To become an enterprise customer, contact your BigCommerce Customer Service Manager or our support team.

Using the Catalog features of the Admin API, you can set and query product SEO information, for example, page title and meta description.

You can perform the following:

Set global product SEO information for the catalog. Channels inherit these by default.
Create overrides for a channel and channel locale using the overridesForLocale mutation.
Remove overrides for a channel and channel locale. A channel then inherits global values.
Query product SEO information, those set at the global level and the overrides.

For a full schema, see the GraphQL Admin API reference.

Input fields

Setting or removing information requires that you specify ID fields in the input. For more information on how to specify ID fields, see Input fields.

9       id
10       seoInformation {
11         pageTitle
12         metaDescription
13       }
14       overridesForLocale(localeContext: { channelId: "bc/store/channel/2", locale: "fr" }) {
15         seoInformation {
16           pageTitle
17           metaDescription
18         }
19       }
20     }

The id field contains the product’s global ID that you can retrieve from the Get all products endpoint. For example, a product with a global ID of 111 will have an id of "bc/store/product/111".
The channelId field contains the channel’s global ID that you can retrieve from the Get all channels endpoint. For example, a channel with a global ID of 2 will have a channelId of "bc/store/channel/2".
