The Odoo 17 Website module makes it simple for you to administer these websites. In the Configuration menu, under the website module's Settings, you will find the option to create a new website, as illustrated below.
The system will show a new pop-up window where you can enter the information for the new website if you choose the '+New Website' option.
If the platform is multi-company, you are prompted to input the related Company, the Website Name, and the Website Domain in the new pop-up box. Next, you will see a Languages section where you can designate the languages in which you would like this website to be accessible.
The Default Language, which will be chosen automatically, is the last option. Click the Create button in the lower-left corner of the pop-up window once you have entered all the required data. After processing the website, the system will open a new window.
With this window, you may make a stunning website in four easy steps. Click the 'LET'S DO IT' button if you select this option. If not, you can select the 'Skip and start from scratch' button located in the window's lower right corner.
Next, you need to decide on the kind of website. "A business website, an online store, a blog, an event website, and an eLearning platform" are the kinds that Odoo suggests. Once a website type has been chosen, its goal can be specified. The system will present you with a dropdown menu from which you may choose the relevant one after you have described the reason.
The system will provide a new window with a few ready-made palettes when you enter all of these details, as seen in the image above. These can be used to improve the aesthetic appeal and style of your website. Moreover, this color scheme can help you recognize your brand easily. You can submit your logo to have it recognized automatically if you would rather not make the selection by hand. When you upload it, Odoo will read your logo and instantly detect it. Click the 'upload' arrow and follow the prompts to add your logo.
The next step is to choose and add the pages and features you need for your website from the list on the next page.

Optimize SEO
A set of recommended practices called search engine optimization (SEO) are used to improve your website's positioning so that search engines like Google will find it more relevant. To put it briefly, effective SEO enables you to get more visitors.
Since SEO helps to ensure that a website is visible to search engines and its intended audience, it is crucial to the operation of any website. Increased website traffic, lead creation, and ultimately sales are the results of this. Making a website easier to navigate through SEO contributes to an enhanced user experience and increased conversion rates. Additionally, SEO helps you build credibility and trust with prospective customers, which can result in higher sales.
The Odoo Website module offers top-notch SEO optimization options to strengthen and improve your website. A dedicated menu for handling the SEO aspect of the module's web pages is visible. As seen below, the website module's Site menu is where you'll locate the Optimize SEO option.
You can provide a title for the webpage here, and it will show up in the Preview section. You may also give a description of the webpage in the corresponding field. Additionally, the preview located on the window's right side will display this explanation. Additionally, you can increase traffic by adding keywords. The title and description metadata tags should be defined on every web page. These bits of content are used by search engines to advertise your website. Although you can customize them, they are generated automatically based on the content and title of the page. Make sure they are pertinent to the content of the page; if not, search engines can ignore you.
You are free to enter as many keywords as you like. You can enter the term's language in the designated field in addition to the keyword itself. Odoo has a keyword tool to assist you in creating engaging content and driving more visitors. You want to steer those kinds of questions towards your website. You can see what Google searches are related to each term and how it is used in the text (H1, H2, page title, page description, and content). It is preferable to use as many keywords as possible. Additionally, you have the option to choose an image that will show up during a webpage search. You can click to save the data once you've entered it all.
Link Tracker
Odoo 17 Link Tracker allows you to stop relying on incomplete or conjectural reports. Sort the profitable and unprofitable marketing channels.
The Link Tracker menu in the Odoo 17 Website module is a useful tool for monitoring and enhancing the functionality of links on your website. It enables you to control the link structure of your website, track link views and clicks, and evaluate link performance. It also provides comprehensive analytics and data on link performance. With the link tracker, you can rapidly redirect, link targets, and link sources. In addition, you may set targeted redirects to take immediate action and monitor and analyze link clicks from several devices and sources.
The website module's Site menu contains the Link Tracker option.
Additionally, when we open it, a popup will show up that lets the user enter the URL to start a new link tracking activity. After that, you can specify the web page's source, campaign, and operating medium. Click the Get tracked link button to retrieve tracked links. Moreover, any link that you are tracking may be seen in the Your monitored links menu. Additionally, filters are available for the tracked connections under the tracked links option.

In order to use Link Tracker, you must first create a tracking link. From there, you may share the page you want to track by creating a short link that includes analytics trackers. Complete the campaign, medium, and source tags. Next, start your marketing campaign, allowing users to share the content on the channel of their choice by inserting the link into the post. Users click on your personalized link, which gathers data and displays it on your Analytics dashboard. Lastly, ascertain which links are most effective in driving visitors to your website. To improve your marketing strategy, compare the findings from multiple sources.
HTML/CSS Editor
This capability is available to users in Odoo 17 through the website module's site menu.

This HTML/CSS Editor tool allows you to edit or modify any part of your website, including web pages and websites. The code provider window, which is seen above, will appear when you select the menu.

How to configure Twitter API access, which includes Twitter Roller, email marketing, live chat, and automatically sending emails to abandoned checkouts, is covered in the next section.
You may access Twitter Roller and Live Chat from this section.
The live chat option on your website allows visitors to communicate with you. It is from here that you may configure the channel and other settings. You may set up Twitter API credentials with the Twitter Roller as well.
Out of all the communication methods, Live Chat has the highest rate of customer satisfaction. It allows for quick responses and allows your clients to carry on with their existing tasks while interacting with you because it is easily accessible.
After Live Chat is deployed, if you build your website with Odoo 17, it will be added to your database. To complete the procedure, navigate to Website > Configuration > Settings > Live Chat. Next, decide which channel to use to link to your website, or make one right away.
Operators: Include agents to respond to messages requesting chat. You can add as many as you like, but bear in mind that if an operator doesn't do anything in Odoo for more than thirty minutes, they are considered disconnected.
Options include using chatbots to customize the default text that shows on the live chat button, the text that greets visitors when a conversation begins, and the text that invites them to start a chat.
Rules for the Channel: Choose a response for a certain URL and/or country. In the example below, when users (from any country) arrive on the contact us page, the chat window opens automatically after the specified amount of time.
The platform of the Odoo 17 Website module also supports the Twitter Wall. Twitter Wall is one of the best social media marketing tools available.

The Privacy section follows, with features like the Shared Customer Accounts and Cookies Bar displayed below.
Websites that you visit can transmit small text files called cookies to your device. They are processed and retained by your browser and contain information about your visit, such as login credentials, location, language, and so forth. To do this in a friendly and transparent manner, cookie bars are widely used. When a user first visits the website, they are immediately informed that cookies are used by it and given the choice of whether or not to put optional cookies on their device.
When you enable additional features for your website, Odoo 17 creates the Cookie Policy page (/cookie-policy) with the list of mandatory and optional cookies.
Customers are able to view all of their documents from one central spot when they have customer accounts on eCommerce sites. To access their account, customers must be logged in to the eCommerce website, click on their username in the top-right corner of the page, and choose My Account.
From there, customers may access their orders, invoices, quotations, and other information. You can enable customer accounts across all of your websites if you own multiple of them. At that point, the consumer will only need one account. Turn on Shared Customer Accounts in the Website Configuration Settings Privacy section to accomplish this.
Google Analytics, Default Social Share Image, Console Google Search, and Plausible Analytics are some of the features found in the SEO section that follows.
One tool available for tracking website traffic is Google Analytics. Examined are the number, duration, and other demographic characteristics of website visitors. As the owners of the website, we can use this data to better target our marketing efforts and make improvements to the website.
The next step requires the tracking ID for our Google Analytics site. For this, we need to create an account with Google Analytics. After successfully logging in, we create our Google Analytics property by providing the account name, account number, website name, and URL. We must create the client ID for our Google Analytics API after obtaining the tracking ID. We generate our Analytics API credentials by first choosing the Analytics API after we have successfully logged in. We create a new project, enable the Analytics API, and configure the API credentials after selecting the Analytics API. The Client ID can then be created, and finally, by selecting the "Access Google Analytics" button, we can grant Odoo access to Google Analytics. After a little loading time, a graph showing the number of people who have visited our Odoo website will now show up in our dashboard.
You can utilize the Google Places API to validate addresses given by visitors by using the Address Autocomplete feature.
You may allow Plausible Analytics to use this feature in the settings. It's an open-source, easy-to-use, light-weight, and private website analytics tool.
You can upload an image to replace the website logo as the default social share picture if the Default Social Share Image option is activated.
Google offers a free tool called Google Search Console that helps you monitor, manage, and fix issues related to your website's visibility in Google Search results. Although it's not required, using Search Console can help you better understand how Google sees your website and make it appear in search results.
