Website Title and Author Email are two of the simplest global settings — but they ripple out across countless pages, emails, sitemaps and external integrations. Getting them right early saves cleanup later.
Where the Title Appears
- HTML
<title>tags on every page (suffixed after page-specific titles). - RSS / Atom feed titles.
- OpenGraph metadata (when not overridden per page).
- Sitemap.xml top-level entry.
- Email template footer signatures (where defaults apply).
- Default placeholder in printable documents.
- The system's audit log entries identifying which platform performed the action.
Where the Author Email Appears
- RSS / Atom feed managingEditor field.
- Default From header on system-generated emails (unless a more specific sender is configured).
- OpenGraph article:author tag.
- Sitemap submission emails to search engines.
- Default contact in error reports sent to external aggregators.
Best Practices
- Keep the title short (under 60 characters) so it doesn't get truncated in search results.
- Make it clearly identifiable — no cute codenames unless the codename is also the brand.
- Use a monitored email for Author Email — not noreply@, since RSS readers and external aggregators may send legitimate replies.
- If you white-label per tenant, override these at tenant level rather than only setting the global.
Worked Examples
- SaaS platform: Title “Acme Workspace”, author
hello@acme.io. - Internal tool: Title “Operations Hub”, author
operations@yourcompany.com. - Multi-tenant white-label: Global title “Generic Platform”, but Tenant A overrides to “Tenant A Portal” and provides their own contact.
- Public marketplace: Title “Marketplace by Brand”, author
support@brand.com.
