SEO Attribution for Embedded Libraries & Microsites

Content you embed from UserEvidence — your Research Library or a curated microsite — now earns search ranking credit for your own website instead of ours.

What's New

Previously, when you embedded UserEvidence content on your site, search engines attributed that content to UserEvidence's web address rather than yours — meaning your site received no search ranking value from the evidence you published. That's now changed. Embedded Research Libraries and microsites are built to direct search engine credit to your website, and you can specify exactly which page should receive it.

How It Works

This applies automatically to your existing embeds — nothing needs to be rebuilt. Two things now happen:

  • Embedded Research Libraries and microsites send the right signals to search engines to count that content toward your website's ranking.

  • In settings, you can set the specific page you want search engines to treat as the official home for the content — for your Research Library and for each individual microsite.

How to Set Your Preferred Page

The canonical page setting is available in your account settings for your Research Library. Set it to whichever page on your site you want to receive the search ranking credit for that content.

The canonical page setting for a microsite is available in the settings for that microsite.

Example Use Cases

  • A marketing team embeds their Research Library on their website and wants that evidence to contribute to their site's search ranking rather than UserEvidence's.

  • A team running a campaign embeds a microsite on their campaign landing page and sets that page as the one search engines should credit.

Good to Know

  • Works with your existing embeds. No changes to your embed code or setup are required.

  • Google only. This currently works with Google. Other search engines do not yet support the signal that makes this attribution possible.
