Follow this guide to make your translated website SEO-friendly.

  1. Log-in to your Windows server.

  2. Locate your web.config file in the root of your server.

  3. Modify the web.config to include these configurations:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<configuration>
    <system.webServer>
        <customHeaders>
            <add name="X-Bablic-ID" value="[ Bablic site ID ]" />
        </customHeaders>
        <rewrite>
            <allowedServerVariables>
                <add name="HTTP_CONTENT_LENGTH" />
                <add name="HTTP_X_BABLIC_ID"/>
                <add name="HTTP_X_ORIGINAL_URI"/>
                <add name="HTTP_ACCEPT_ENCODING" />
            </allowedServerVariables>
            <rules>
                <rule name="IsBOT" stopProcessing="true">
                    <match url="(.*)" />
                    <serverVariables>
                        <set name="HTTP_CONTENT_LENGTH" value="0"/>
                        <set name="HTTP_X_BABLIC_ID" value="[ Bablic site ID ]"/>
                        <set name="HTTP_X_ORIGINAL_URI" value="{CACHE_URL}"/>
                        <set name="HTTP_ACCEPT_ENCODING" value=""/>
                    </serverVariables>
                    <conditions>
                        <add input="{HTTP_USER_AGENT}" pattern="bot|crawler|baiduspider|80legs|google|facebook|twitter|seo"/>
                    </conditions>
                    <action type="Rewrite" url="http://seo.bablic.com/api/engine/seo?site=[ Bablic site ID ]#"  />
                </rule>
            </rules>
        </rewrite>
    </system.webServer>
</configuration>


4. Replace the instances of [ Bablic site ID ] with your Bablic Site ID.

5. Restart the IIS

That's it, you can now click the "Verify" button in your Bablic SEO Configuration Wizard and complete the integration.
