If the feature is not working as expected, please contact technical support, as the feature likely needs to be enabled for the individual store. To become an enterprise customer, contact your BigCommerce Customer Service Manager or our support team (opens in a new tab).

Using the Catalog features of the Admin API, you can set and query product SEO information, for example, page title and meta description.

You can perform the following:

For a full schema, see the GraphQL Admin API reference (opens in a new tab).

  product {
    setProductSeoInformation(input: $input) {
      product {
        id
        overridesForLocale (localeContext: { channelId: "bc/store/channel/2", locale: "fr" }) {
          seoInformation {
            pageTitle
            metaDescription
          }
        }
      }
    }
  }
}
GraphQL variables
{                                           
  "input": {                                
    "productId": "bc/store/product/111",    
    "localeContext": {
      "channelId": "bc/store/channel/2",      
      "locale": "fr"
    },                       
    "data": {                               
      "pageTitle": "Page title override FR",
      "metaDescription": "Meta description override FR"
    }                                                       
  }
}

Omitting the overridesToRemove field from the input removes all overrides for product SEO information from the locale.

Example mutation: Remove product SEO information for a locale
POST https://api.bigcommerce.com/stores/{{STORE_HASH}}/graphql
X-Auth-Token: {{ACCESS_TOKEN}}
Content-Type: application/json
Accept: application/json
 
mutation (
  $input: RemoveProductSeoInformationOverridesInput!
) {
  product {
    removeProductSeoInformationOverrides(input: $input) {
      product {
        id
        overridesForLocale (localeContext: { channelId: "bc/store/channel/2", locale: "fr" }) {
          seoInformation {
            pageTitle
            metaDescription
          }
        }
      }
    }
  }
}
GraphQL variables
{
  "input": {
    "productId": "bc/store/product/111",
    "localeContext": {
      "channelId": "bc/store/channel/2",      
      "locale": "fr"
    },  
    "overridesToRemove": ["PRODUCT_PAGE_TITLE_FIELD"]
  }
}

Query product SEO information

The following example retrieves product SEO information. You can retrieve global information for the store and overrides for the specified channel and locale.

Example query: Get product SEO information
POST https://api.bigcommerce.com/stores/{{STORE_HASH}}/graphql
X-Auth-Token: {{ACCESS_TOKEN}}
Content-Type: application/json
Accept: application/json
 
query {
  store {
    product (id: "bc/store/product/111") {
      id
      seoInformation {
        pageTitle
        metaDescription
      }
      overridesForLocale(localeContext: { channelId: "bc/store/channel/2", locale: "fr" }) {
        seoInformation {
          pageTitle
          metaDescription
        }
      }
    }
  }
}
  • The id field contains the product's global ID that you can retrieve from the Get all products endpoint. For example, a product with a global ID of 111 will have an id of "bc/store/product/111".
  • The channelId field contains the channel's global ID that you can retrieve from the Get all channels endpoint. For example, a channel with a global ID of 2 will have a channelId of "bc/store/channel/2".
