    Hello friends! I am working with the foodie theme on the genesis framework and would like to set up SEO for the homepage but I realize the homepage is a page just with recent blog posts and not a static homepage.

    I am wondering how I am able to change the SEO and google snippet to read the excerpt that I would like it to read? Is there a hidden page or area I can go to to set this up? Because I don't like when you google my website and the snippet reads the first few words of the recent blog post.

    Can anyone help with this?!! Many many thanks!!!!

    Genesis has built in SEO functionality (Genesis >> SEO Settings). You can set Home page Title, Description & Keywords there.

    When I click on Genesis I don't have the SEO funtionality that you are talking about...I only have (theme settings, import/export, and simple edits). Is this found in a special place, as it is not showing under genesis in the sidebar area?

    Do you have a different WordPress SEO plugin installed? OR possibly have it turned off in your user profile? If you have an alternate WordPress SEO plugin installed, it should have the same home page settings at the Genesis SEO.

    I have SEO from Yoast installed and I know how to configure the SEO using it but my homepage I am struggling with because I have it set in the "reading" setting to show latest posts, therefore I don't what page to go to to configure the SEO.

    I don't have it set to "HOME" or "BLOG" or anything like that so in google, the snippet is showing the first few words of the most recent post and not the short description I want it to show. Does this make sense?! 🙂
