WordPress Bulk SEO Editor: Titles & Meta Descriptions

Fixing SEO titles and meta descriptions one post at a time is slow, so most sites never do it. The CrawlWP bulk SEO editor puts your posts in one table, with the SEO title and meta description ready to edit. Change as many as you like, then save them all at once.

What it does

What the CrawlWP bulk SEO editor does

Edit the SEO title and meta description of many posts from one screen, without opening each post.

The CrawlWP bulk SEO editor: a table of posts with editable SEO titles, meta descriptions and character counters

One table for your posts

Posts and pages in one list, each with its SEO title and meta description ready to edit.

Edit in place

Type straight into the table. No need to open each WordPress post.

Live character counters

Each field counts as you type: up to 60 characters for titles and 160 for descriptions.

Too-long warnings

Titles and descriptions that go over the limit are highlighted, so you can see what Google may cut.

Blank means template

Leave a field empty, and the post keeps using your global template.

Save everything at once

One click saves every change in the bulk SEO editor table.

Filter by post type

Show only posts, only pages, or another post type such as products.

Search

Find a post by its title and fix it straight away.

Edit and View links

Each row links to the post editor and the live page, in case you need more.

Review imported data

Moved from another WordPress SEO plugin? Check the imported titles and descriptions in one place.

A quick SEO clean-up

Find titles that are too long or descriptions that are missing, and fix a whole batch in one sitting.

The metabox for the details

Need a Google preview or the pixel meter? Open the post and use the SEO metabox.

Why it matters

Why use a bulk SEO editor

Many sites have hundreds of posts with titles that are too long, missing meta descriptions, or text left over from an old plugin.

Fixing them one at a time means opening, editing, and saving each post. Most people give up. A bulk SEO editor puts them all on one screen, so the job gets done.

  • Fix many titles and descriptions in one sitting
  • Spot titles and descriptions that are too long
  • Fill in missing meta descriptions
  • Clean up after moving from another SEO plugin
  • Leave everything else to your templates

How it works

Use the bulk SEO editor in three steps

Open the Bulk Editor screen in CrawlWP, and you are ready to go.

Step 1

Find the posts to fix

Filter by post type, or search for a post by its title.

Step 2

Edit in the table

Type the new title and description. The counters update as you type and warn you when a field is too long.

Step 3

Save your changes

Click Save changes to save every edit at once. Fields you leave blank keep using the template.

Templates first

Use templates for most posts, the bulk SEO editor for the rest

Set a title and description template for each post type, and most posts will never need editing. Use the bulk editor for exceptions: posts that deserve a title written by hand.

Good lengths for titles and descriptions

  • SEO title: about 60 characters. Google cuts titles by width, at about 580 pixels on desktop.
  • Meta description: about 160 characters.
  • Put the keywords first, in case Google cuts the end.
  • Keep each one unique, so no two pages share the same title or description.

Questions

Bulk SEO editor questions

Answers to the questions people ask most about bulk editing SEO titles and meta descriptions in WordPress.

What is a bulk SEO editor?

It is a tool that lets you edit the SEO titles and meta descriptions of many pages from one screen. The CrawlWP bulk SEO editor lists your posts in a table. You can edit the SEO title and meta description for each one, then save them all at once.

Can I bulk edit meta descriptions in WordPress without a plugin?

No. WordPress has no meta description field, so you need an SEO plugin such as CrawlWP.

Do I need to open each post?

No. You edit the SEO title and meta description right in the table.

What do the counters measure?

Characters, against the usual limits of 60 for titles and 160 for descriptions. Fields that go over are highlighted. The SEO metabox also measures the title in pixels, which is how Google cuts titles.

What happens if I leave a field blank?

The post uses your global template for that post type, which is usually what you want.

Does it cover custom post types?

Yes. The post type filter includes your post types, along with posts and pages.

Does it change my post title or content?

No. It only changes the SEO title and meta description. Your post title and content stay the same.

Is the bulk SEO editor free?

Yes. It is part of CrawlWP Lite, the free version.
