Customizing Your SEO Settings for the Wix Pro Gallery Expand Mode
Your Wix Pro Gallery can display images, videos, and text in multiple layouts. You can set it to open expand mode when an item is clicked. These expand mode pages aren't regular pages on your site, but they do have their own URLs and search engine information.
The pro gallery has default SEO settings that provide search engines with information about your gallery's items (e.g. title tags, meta descriptions). You can customize these settings to edit what's indexed by Google.
Editing your SEO settings for the Wix Pro Gallery
You can edit the default SEO settings of the pro gallery by adding or removing variables. A variable is placeholder text with unique values for each item. For example, using an item description variable adds each item's unique description to its search results.
Important:
The URL of a gallery item in an expand mode cannot be changed.
