Meta Momentum for Umbraco - Documentation

Meta Momentum is a powerful SEO and social media management tool for Umbraco CMS that helps content editors optimize their pages for search engines and social media platforms.

It was initially born out of the frustration of content editors leaving SEO Description fields blank. MetaMomentum handles that by falling back to relivant information in the content when none is provided. It also helps the content editor visualise what it will look like in a search engine, or Social Post. This takes the guess work out of a post will look.

  • SEO Management: Control title tags, meta descriptions, and search indexing
  • Social Media Cards: Manage Open Graph (Facebook/LinkedIn) and Twitter Card previews
  • Visual Previews: See real-time previews of how content appears in Google Search and social platforms
  • Smart Fallbacks: Automatically use content from other fields when meta fields are empty
  • Easy Integration: Simple Tag Helper implementation for developers
