# Import And Export SEO Settings

Set your SEO configuration up once, then move it between sites. The Import/Export tool saves your Nexter SEO settings to a JSON file you can load on another site — handy for migrating from staging to live, cloning a baseline across client sites, or keeping a backup.

Nexter → Content SEO → Tools → Import / Export.

 

## How To Import & Export SEO Settings?

 

### Export

- Open **Tools** in the left-hand nav and click **Import / Export**.

- In the **Export** section, turn on the setting groups you want to include.

- Click **Export** to download a `.json` file.

 

### Import

- On the destination site, open the same **Import / Export** screen.

- Drag your `.json` file onto the drop area, or click **Choose File**.

- Click **Import**.

### Import

- **Drop area / Choose File** — accepts a `.json` settings file exported from another site. Only `.json` files are accepted.

- **Import** — applies the settings from the uploaded file.

 

### Export

- **Global Settings** — your general Nexter SEO configuration.

- **Schema Settings** — your structured-data setup (schema entries and their conditions).

- **Required Resources** — supporting resources needed for the settings to apply on the destination site.

- **Export** — downloads the selected groups as a single `.json` file.

 

#### Good To Know

- This is a **settings** transfer, not a migration importer. It moves your Nexter SEO configuration between sites — it does **not** import meta data from Rank Math, Yoast, or other SEO plugins.

- Export **Schema Settings** together with **Global Settings** when cloning a full setup, so schema and conditions arrive intact.

- Keep an exported file as a backup before making large changes, so you can roll back by re-importing.

 

#### Troubleshooting

- **Import does nothing or errors.** Confirm the file is a `.json` exported from Nexter SEO (not another plugin) and that it is not truncated.

- **Some settings did not carry over.** Re-export with all relevant groups enabled (Global, Schema, Required Resources) and import again.
