SEO and structured data

TuneSera is built to help your radio directory get found in search engines, with structured data on station pages and sensible indexing rules for filtered views.

Structured data#

Every station page includes RadioStation structured data (schema.org), with the station’s name, page address, logo, location (as a PostalAddress with country and city) and links to its website and social profiles where available. This helps search engines understand your stations.

Indexing rules#

• Station pages, country and city archives, genre archives and your directory page can all be indexed.
• Filtered and sorted directory views (search, country, city, genre, language, sort and view parameters in the address) are marked noindex, so search engines don’t index thousands of near-duplicate pages.
• Division archives are marked noindex.
• TuneSera never overrides WordPress’s own “Discourage search engines” setting.

Yoast SEO#

With Yoast SEO active, TuneSera provides titles, meta descriptions, Open Graph details and canonical links for station and archive pages, and keeps the directory page in the page sitemap.

Tips#

• Write a short, unique description for your most important stations.
• Link to popular country and genre pages from your menus and posts.
• Keep the defaults for URL slugs once your site is live. Changing them changes every station address.
