The payoff
What changes when your Contentful metadata targets the right traffic
This is not about writing prettier titles. It is about attracting the visitors who are ready to buy — and doing it at a fraction of the time and cost of doing it manually.
A full metadata rework that would take a content team 40+ hours of manual writing is done in under 10 minutes. Review, approve, export, import.
Every title and meta description is rewritten for the search intent behind the query — transactional, commercial, informational. You attract buyers, not browsers.
Better metadata means better rankings, higher click-through rates and more qualified visitors. That compounds month after month — not a one-off spike.
The same metadata rework from an SEO agency costs £4,000–£6,000. You get the same output — every page rewritten, export-ready — from £97.
Step-by-step guide
How to fix your Contentful SEO metadata
Run the audit on your site
Enter your site URL (the frontend powered by Contentful). We crawl every page and discover all content entries — up to 1,000 URLs.
Review and approve
AI rewrites every entry's SEO title, description and slug. Edit inline and approve the rows you want to export.
Download the Contentful JSON
Click the Contentful export tile. You get a JSON file with metaTitle, metaDescription, focusKeyword and slug for every approved entry.
Option A — Contentful CLI import
Install Contentful CLI: npm install -g contentful-cli. Login: contentful login. Import: contentful import --space-id YOUR_SPACE_ID --content-file contentful-seo-export.json
Option B — Management API script
Use the included Node.js script. Install dependencies: npm install contentful. Add your Space ID and Management API token from Contentful dashboard (Settings → API keys). Run the script.
Adjust field IDs if needed
The JSON uses default field IDs like metaTitle and metaDescription. Check your content model in Contentful (Content model → [Your type] → copy field ID) and update the JSON if your field names differ.
Important: If you change any URL slugs or handles, set up 301 redirects from the old URLs to the new ones before or immediately after importing. This protects your existing search rankings and any backlinks pointing to the old addresses.

Common questions
Contentful SEO — frequently asked questions
Scan your Contentful site with the Website Optimisation tool, review the optimised titles and meta descriptions, then export a Contentful-ready file and import it back in. Hundreds of pages are handled in one pass.
Yes. The export matches Contentful's import format, so no code or developer time is needed. You upload the file and the metadata updates across every page at once.
A one-off scan starts at £49 for up to 500 pages and covers up to 15,000 pages at the top tier, compared with £4,000 to £6,000 in typical agency time for the same work.
Yes. Every page title and meta description is rewritten to be clear, structured and intent-aligned — which improves traditional SEO rankings, AI Engine Optimisation (AEO) citations from ChatGPT and Perplexity, and Generative Engine Optimisation (GEO) visibility in Google AI Overviews.
The CLI import requires basic command-line knowledge. The Management API script requires Node.js. If you're not technical, use the Standard CSV export as a reference and update entries manually in the Contentful web app.
Update the field IDs in the JSON file before importing. Check your content model in Contentful → Content model → [Your content type] to find the correct field IDs.
No. Only the SEO metadata fields are updated. Your content, components, assets and relationships remain completely unchanged.
Yes. The Contentful CLI and Management API are available on all Contentful plans including the free tier.
Yes. Open the JSON file in any text editor to review the data before importing. The Management API script can also be run in dry-run mode (remove the publish step) to preview without making changes live.
