SEO Management

Similarly to what we offer with responsive images, our GraphQL API also offers a way to fetch pre-computed SEO meta tags based on the content you insert inside DatoCMS.

You can easily use this information inside your Svelte app with the help of our @datocms/astrosvelte package.

Here's a sample of the meta tags you can automatically generate:

<title>DatoCMS Blog - DatoCMS</title>
<meta property="og:title" content="DatoCMS Blog" />
<meta name="twitter:title" content="DatoCMS Blog" />
<meta name="description" content="Lorem ipsum..." />
<meta property="og:description" content="Lorem ipsum..." />
<meta name="twitter:description" content="Lorem ipsum..." />
<meta property="og:image" content="https://www.datocms-assets.com/..." />
<meta property="og:image:width" content="2482" />
<meta property="og:image:height" content="1572" />
<meta name="twitter:image" content="https://www.datocms-assets.com/..." />
<meta property="og:locale" content="en" />
<meta property="og:type" content="website" />
<meta property="og:site_name" content="DatoCMS" />
<meta property="article:modified_time" content="2020-03-06T15:07:14Z" />
<meta name="twitter:card" content="summary" />
<meta name="twitter:site" content="@datocms" />
<link sizes="16x16" type="image/png" rel="icon" href="https://www.datocms-assets.com/..." />
<link sizes="32x32" type="image/png" rel="icon" href="https://www.datocms-assets.com/..." />
<link sizes="96x96" type="image/png" rel="icon" href="https://www.datocms-assets.com/..." />
<link sizes="192x192" type="image/png" rel="icon" href="https://www.datocms-assets.com/..." />

To do that, first install the @datocms/astro package:

yarn add @datocms/astro

Then, inside your page, feed content coming from a faviconMetaTags or _seoMetaTags query, then use the <Seo /> component to apply them inside the page <head>:

---
// src/pages/index.astro
const query = `
  query HomeQuery {
    site: _site {
      favicon: faviconMetaTags {
        attributes
        content
        tag
      }
    }
    blog {
      seo: _seoMetaTags {
        attributes
        content
        tag
      }
    }
  }
`;
const data = await executeQuery(query);
---
<!doctype html>
<html lang="en">
  <head>
    <Seo data={[...data.data.page.seo, ...data.data.site.favicon]} />
  </head>
  ...
