Do Teachable sales pages and landing pages rank in Google Search?

Teachable school pages — sales pages, landing pages, and any public-facing pages — are indexed by Google by default unless explicitly set to private or password-protected in your Teachable settings. Teachable generates meta titles from page/course names and meta descriptions from your school or course description fields. For the sales page of an individual course, the meta title defaults to the course name, and the description defaults to the course subtitle or summary. Teachable also generates a sitemap.xml covering your school\'s public pages. The key SEO limitation: Teachable does not generate Course schema or LearningResource structured data automatically, and does not provide a general code injection field for custom JSON-LD on sales pages in standard plans. Custom code access is available on Teachable\'s Pro plan and above via the "Custom domain" and "Site builder" features.

Can I customise meta titles and descriptions on Teachable?

Teachable provides basic SEO settings within the school and course admin: you can set page titles and descriptions via the school customisation area, and individual course pages use the course name and description. The level of SEO metadata control is limited compared to dedicated CMS platforms — Teachable is designed as a course delivery platform first, not a content publishing platform. For more granular control over individual page meta tags, Teachable\'s custom code features (available on higher plans) allow injecting custom head HTML including meta tag overrides. Teachable\'s custom domain feature is essential for SEO: hosting your school on your own domain (not yourschool.teachable.com) ensures that link equity and authority signals accumulate under your brand domain.

Does Teachable support custom structured data (JSON-LD) for courses?

Teachable does not auto-generate Course or LearningResource JSON-LD schema for course pages. Custom JSON-LD can be injected via Teachable\'s custom code feature (Pro plan and above), which allows adding HTML including JSON-LD `script` blocks to individual pages or site-wide via header/footer code. When implementing Course schema manually: use `@type: "Course"` with `name`, `description`, `provider` (your organisation), `offers` (price and availability), and optionally `hasCourseInstance` for scheduling. This structured data makes courses eligible for Google\'s Course rich results in search. DeepSEOAnalysis confirms whether custom-injected JSON-LD is server-rendered in the initial HTML response — a requirement for rich result eligibility.

Teachable SEO: online courses on a platform optimised for conversion, not publishing

Teachable is designed primarily as a course delivery and student management platform rather than a content publishing system. Its SEO capabilities reflect this priority: public-facing pages are indexed and basic meta tags are generated, but granular SEO customisation (custom meta tags per page, structured data, custom canonical declarations) requires Pro plan custom code injection.

The most impactful Teachable SEO decision is custom domain setup. Courses hosted on a subdomain (yourschool.teachable.com) build authority under Teachable's domain rather than your brand domain. Course creators who invest in building SEO content around their topic — blog posts, guides, free resources — should host all content under a single custom domain to consolidate authority signals. The Teachable school can be on a subdirectory (yourdomain.com/courses) or subdomain (school.yourdomain.com), with the main domain hosting an SEO-optimised content marketing layer.

For course sales pages, the structured data opportunity is significant: Course schema with accurate pricing and availability data makes course sales pages eligible for Google's Course rich results and Google's Knowledge Graph integration. DeepSEOAnalysis verifies whether manually-injected Course JSON-LD is served in the initial HTML response — a requirement for rich result eligibility that JavaScript-only rendering fails to meet.
