~ Happy Holidays! ~

Hello there! Thank you for welcoming us into your inbox again.

Now that's November it's basically Christmas time as far as every retail store would have you believe. I've decided to just lean into this year and not fight back. So happy holidays to you all!

Another five alpha releases of Statamic 6 have dropped since the last newsletter. We've been focusing on code hardening and, and things are shaping up nicely. A whopping 112 pull requests have been merged since we released alpha 10. And that's not even accounting for anything related to the docs or our addons.

Apart from the regular update on the status of Statamic 6, we have a couple of treats for you:

SEO Pro 7 🚀

Our very own SEO Pro addon has been going strong for a long time and is still one of the most popular addons overall. It hasn't seen a lot of love over the last year or two — so for the launch of Statamic 6 we've given it a few weeks of dedicated love and attention. We think you're love the updates. They include:

Search engine and social card previews
Structured data and JSON-LD support
Multi-site improvements including localizable site defaults
More robust SEO Reports, including ideal title tag and meta description length recommendations
UI/UX improvements to match Statamic 6
And lots of bug fixes and quality of life improvements

Search Engine and Social Card Previews

SEO Pro previews inside the Control Panel

Using SEO Pro, you can now see previews for what your pages will look like on search engines or social media.

Define your schema using JSON-LD.

SEO Pro now support JSON-LD notation and data markup

If schemas and structured data markup are your jam, you can now generate it with JSON-LD right inside the Control Panel using SEO Pro.

Almost 50 people attended the Statamic meetup earlier this month and we had an amazing time together! Thanks again to JustBetter for hosting it and head over to our blog for a little recap. We are working on more meetups and also plan to organize something around Laracon EU in March 2026. If you haven't gotten your ticket yet, you can do so here.

(We might be working on another Flat Camp too but can't share anything yet 🤐)
