03 Configuration
This guide explains how to configure Meta Momentum Data Types in your Umbraco backoffice.
- Open the Umbraco backoffice
- Go to Settings → Data Types
- Click Create → New Data Type
- Give it a name (e.g., "Meta Momentum")
- Select Meta Momentum as the Property Editor
Meta Momentum provides several configuration options to customize the editor experience.
Type: Toggle
Default: On
Enable this to allow content editors to customize the title and description meta tags for search engines. When disabled, the editor cannot modify these fields, and fallback values are used.
Type: Toggle
Default: On
Shows a visual preview of how the page will appear in Google search results, including:
- Site URL and breadcrumb
- Title tag (with width-based character limits)
- Meta description (with width-based character limits)
Type: Text (comma-separated aliases)
Example: pageTitle,heading,name
Specifies a prioritized list of property aliases to use when the title field is empty. The system checks each alias in order until it finds a value.
How it Works:
- Checks custom title field
- Falls back to first alias (e.g.,
pageTitle) - If empty, tries next alias (e.g.,
heading) - Finally uses the page
name(The Name of the Content Node) if all else fails
Supported Field Types:
- String
- Textstring
- Textarea
- Rich Text Editor (HTML is stripped)
Limitations: Does not support complex data types like Grid or Nested Content.
Type: Text (comma-separated aliases)
Example: pageDescription,introduction,summary
Similar to Fallback Title Fields, but for the meta description. If no fallback is found, the description remains empty.
Type: Text (comma-separated aliases)
Example: socialImage,heroImage,featuredImage
Specifies which media picker or upload fields to use for social share images.
Supported Field Types:
- Media Picker (v2)
- Media Picker (v3)
- Upload field (Not-reccomended)
Upload Field Limitation: When falling back to an upload field, content must be saved and published twice:
- First save uploads the image
- Second save properly stores it in the social meta fields
Type: Toggle
Default: On
Enable this to allow content editors to customize title and description specifically for social media shares. When disabled, social shares use the same values as search meta (with fallbacks).
Type: Toggle
Default: On
Shows a preview of how the page appears when shared on Facebook, including:
- Site name
- Share title
- Share description
- Share image (281x540px cropped preview)
Type: Toggle
Default: On
Shows a preview of Twitter/X card, including:

- Site URL
Type: Toggle
Default: On

Migrating from V2.x: This replaces the Site Name setting from appsettings.json.
Type: Text
Example: @digitalmomentum
Your Twitter/X handle (including the @). Used in Twitter Card meta tags to attribute the content to your account.
