Nuxt > Adding SEO to Nuxt pages

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 Nuxt app with the help of our vue-datocms package.

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

1
<title>DatoCMS Blog - DatoCMS</title>
2
<meta property="og:title" content="DatoCMS Blog" />
3
<meta name="twitter:title" content="DatoCMS Blog" />
4
<meta name="description" content="Lorem ipsum..." />
5
<meta property="og:description" content="Lorem ipsum..." />
6
<meta name="twitter:description" content="Lorem ipsum..." />
7
<meta property="og:image" content="https://www.datocms-assets.com/..." />
8
<meta property="og:image:width" content="2482" />
9
<meta property="og:image:height" content="1572" />
10
<meta name="twitter:image" content="https://www.datocms-assets.com/..." />
11
<meta property="og:locale" content="en" />
12
<meta property="og:type" content="website" />
13
<meta property="og:site_name" content="DatoCMS" />
14
<meta property="article:modified_time" content="2020-03-06T15:07:14Z" />
15
<meta name="twitter:card" content="summary" />
16
<meta name="twitter:site" content="@datocms" />
17
<link sizes="16x16" type="image/png" rel="icon" href="https://www.datocms-assets.com/..." />
18
<link sizes="32x32" type="image/png" rel="icon" href="https://www.datocms-assets.com/..." />
19
<link sizes="96x96" type="image/png" rel="icon" href="https://www.datocms-assets.com/..." />
20
<link sizes="192x192" type="image/png" rel="icon" href="https://www.datocms-assets.com/..." />

To do that, install the vue-datocms package:

yarn add vue-datocms

Then, inside your page, feed content coming from a faviconMetaTags or _seoMetaTags query into the toHead function and combine that with the useHead composable:

1
<script setup>
2
import { toHead } from "vue-datocms";
3

4
const QUERY = `query {
5
  site: _site {
6
    favicon: faviconMetaTags {
7
      attributes
8
      content
9
      tag
10
    }
11
  }
12
  blog {
13
    seo: _seoMetaTags {
14
      attributes
15
      content
16
      tag
17
    }
18
  }
19
}`;
20

21
const { data } = await useQuery(QUERY);
22

23
useHead(() => {
24
  if (!data.value) return {}
25

26
  return toHead(data.value.blog.seo, data.value.site.favicon)
27
})
28
</script>
