Add metas programmatically
-
Hi,
I would like to know if is there any way to insert and update meta title and meta description programmatically (for posts and terms).
I am trying to do it with wpdb insert into ‘yoast_indexable’ table, but I see that is not the right way.
Thank you.

Hi @marnyscom
We understand you would like to insert and update the title and meta description programmatically.
We don’t recommend to automatically fill in any sort of SEO data as this won’t be helpful for the websites in the search results. If possible, we always recommend users to take time and manually go through all the pages available on the site for manual optimization as this could really help the website to gain rank in the search results.
With that being said, if you still want to automatically fill up the SEO data, you can try looking for the relevant solution in our documentation on our developer portal here — https://developer.yoast.com/.
Most of our hooks, filters, APIs, and code examples are available on there. We hope this points you in the right direction!
You might also want to consider just using the snippet variables to automatically generate SEO titles and meta descriptions for your content types — https://yoast.com/snippet-variables/
