Built-in SEO Features

Search engine optimization is built into this template from the ground up. Here is what you get out of the box and how to configure it.

What is Included

XML Sitemap

Generated automatically at /sitemap.xml from all your content. Search engines use this to discover and index your pages. The sitemap updates whenever you add or remove content.

RSS Feed

Available at /feed.xml, allowing readers to subscribe to your content in any RSS reader. The feed includes all content types.

Robots.txt

Configured at /robots.txt to allow search engine crawling. Edit src/app/robots.ts to customize rules.

Structured Data

JSON-LD schema markup is added automatically to pages:

• Organization schema on the home page
• Article schema on content detail pages
• Breadcrumb schema for navigation context

Open Graph and Twitter Cards

Every page includes Open Graph and Twitter Card metadata for rich social sharing previews. The metadata is generated from your content's frontmatter.

Configuration

All SEO settings live in src/config/directory.config.ts:

export const seoConfig: SEOConfig = {
  siteUrl: 'https://your-domain.com',
  siteName: 'Your Site Name',
  description: 'Your site description',
  twitterHandle: '@yourhandle',
  defaultAuthor: 'Your Name',
  defaultKeywords: ['your', 'keywords'],
};

Per-Page Metadata

Each content file's frontmatter (title, summary, image) is used to generate page-specific metadata. The summary field becomes the meta description, and the image becomes the Open Graph image.

Google Verification

Set the GOOGLE_SITE_VERIFICATION environment variable to verify your site with Google Search Console.
