How do I help people find my Simplebooklet in search?
You can tell search engines what your Simplebooklet is about by setting its industry, region, type and a short description in the Share tab. Clear information helps search engines and AI assistants understand your document and show it to the people looking for it, and the description is what they see under your title in search results.
How do I set up search engine information?
- On your Dashboard, click Share on your Simplebooklet. If you're already editing it, click Share in the top-right corner.
- Scroll to Settings and open SEO.
- Click the gear icon next to Search Engine Meta Data. Search Engine Optimization opens.
- Fill in the fields (see below).
- Click Save.
What should I put in each field?

Description | A summary of up to 160 characters, shown under your title in search results | "Spring 2026 menu for Harbour Café in Halifax, with brunch, lunch and catering prices." |
