How to Installation

You can search for this addon in the Tools > Addons section of the Statamic control panel and click install, or run the following command from your project root:

composer require alt-design/alt-seo

In layout.antlers.html remove your <title> and SEO tags and replace with

{{ alt_seo:meta }}

You can also just use the following to output the title if you prefer

{{ alt_seo:title }}

What actually happens

The addon will look for data in the following order:

  • Page specific SEO tags
  • General sitewide SEO tags
  • Defaults back to Site Name

For General/Site Wide SEO Tags Select Alt SEO from the Tools section in CP where you can set a general SEO Title and Description for the site. In the Social tab you can set the Title, Description and Image for Facebook and Twitter.

For Page Specific SEO Tags go to Collections > Pages > select your page and in the Alt SEO Tab you can set Title, Description, Social Title, Social Description and Social Image to override the general settings on that page.

You can use variables such as {title} | {site_name}

App name and url are taken from .env file so ensure this data is correct. Images must be stored in assets container.

Advanced usage

Overriding Meta Fields

All fields handled by the addon are wrapped so that that they can be overridden in your templates.

Let's say, for example, you had a product page that you wanted to change the meta title structure from default, this can be achieved in your template using the {{ section }} tag

Simply add something along the line of this in your template and the appropriate meta field will get overridden:

{{ section:alt_seo_title }}Awesome SEO title goes here!!!{{ /section:alt_seo_title }}

Note : Only the data sections of the meta fields are tagged so don't us full tags as that will cause some funky HTML

The fields that can be overridden as list here :

  • alt_seo_title
  • alt_seo_canonical
  • alt_seo_description
  • alt_seo_robots
  • alt_seo_og_url
  • alt_seo_og_type
  • alt_seo_og_title
  • alt_seo_og_description
  • alt_seo_og_image
  • alt_seo_twitter_card
  • alt_seo_twitter_domain
  • alt_seo_twitter_url
  • alt_seo_twitter_title
  • alt_seo_twitter_description
  • alt_seo_twitter_image
