SeoTags

SeoTags generates All SEO Tags you need such as meta, link, Twitter card (twitter:), Open Graph (for Facebook) (og:), and JSON-LD schema (structured data).

How to use

See https://mjebrahimi.github.io/SeoTags/ for more info.

1. Install Package

PM> Install-Package SeoTags

2. Register/Configure to your Services

Everything you need to do is to configure the SeoInfo object and render it in your _Layout.cshtml.

This configuring can be done by setting the properties of the SeoInfo object in three ways:

  1. When registering your services using services.AddSeoTags(seoInfo => { ... }) method.
  2. Html.SetSeoInfo(seoInfo => { ... }) method in your .cshtml views (Mvc or RazorPages)
  3. HttpContext.SetSeoInfo(seoInfo => { ... }) method anywhere you access the HttpContext object (for example in your mvc Controller/Action or razor-pages PageModel)

There are general options that are constant for your entire website (not specific to a certain page), such as Website Title, Twitter ID, Facebook ID, OpenSearch URL, feeds (RSS or Atom), etc...

Usually, these values are set when registering services using services.AddSeoTags(seoInfo => { ... }) method.

//Register your services
app.Services.AddSeoTags(seoInfo =>
{
    seoInfo.SetSiteInfo(
        siteTitle: "My Site Title", 
        siteTwitterId: "@MySiteTwitter",                    //Optional
        siteFacebookId: "https://facebook.com/MySite",      //Optional
        openSearchUrl: "https://site.com/open-search.xml",  //Optional
        robots: "index, follow"                             //Optional
    );

    //Optional
    seoInfo.AddFeed(
        title: "Post Feeds",
        url: "https://site.com/rss/",
        feedType: FeedType.Rss);

    //Optional
    seoInfo.AddDnsPrefetch("https://fonts.gstatic.com/", "https://www.google-analytics.com");

    //Optional
    seoInfo.AddPreload(new Preload("https://site.com/site.css"),
        new Preload("https://site.com/app.js"),
        new Preload("https://site.com/fonts/Font.woff2"),
        new Preload("https://site.com/fonts/Font_Light.woff2"),
        new Preload("https://site.com/fonts/Font_Medium.woff2"),
        new Preload("https://site.com/fonts/Font_Bold.woff2"));

    //Optional
    seoInfo.SetLocales("en_US");
});
//...

3. Render SEO Tags in your _Layout.cshtml

To render the output SEO Tags call Html.SeoTags() method in your _Layout.cshtml.

This method has two overloads, one with a SeoInfo argument (if you need to pass a new arbitrary instance of the SeoInfo object), and one without an argument that retrieves the configured SeoInfo object from your previous registered services.

<!DOCTYPE html>
<html lang="en">
<head>
    <!-- Remove these tags from your _Layout.cshtml
    <meta charset="utf-8" />
    <meta name="viewport" content="width=device-width, initial-scale=1.0" />
    <title>@ViewData["Title"] -  Site Title</title>
    -->

    <!-- SeoTags generates all of these for you -->
    @Html.SeoTags() <!-- 👈 Add this line -->

4. Set Specific SEO info in your Views/Pages

There are some specific SEO info that you may want to set for a certain page, such as such as Page Title, Page Description, Page Keywords, Page URL, Publish Date, Modified Date, Image Info, Page Type etc...

To do this, call Html.SetSeoInfo(seoInfo => { ... }) method in your .cshtml views to set specific desired SEO info for that page.

You can do the same by calling HttpContext.SetSeoInfo(seoInfo => { ... }) anywhere you access to HttpContext object (for example in your mvc Controller/Action or razor-pages PageModel)

@{
    // Remove these line from your views
    // ViewData["Title"] = "Page Title";

    Html.SetSeoInfo(seoInfo =>
    {
        seoInfo.SetCommonInfo(
            pageTitle: "SEO Tags for ASP.NET Core",
            description: "SetoTags creates all SEO tags you need such as meta, link, Twitter card (twitter:), open graph (og:), and ...",
            url: "https://site.com/url/",
            keywordTags: new[] { "SEO", "AspNetCore", "MVC", "RazorPages" }, //Optional
            seeAlsoUrls: new[] { "https://site.com/see-also-1", "https://site.com/see-also-2" }  //Optional
        );

        seoInfo.SetImageInfo(
            url: "https://site.com/uploads/image.jpg",
            width: 1280,                                        //Optional
            height: 720,                                        //Optional
            alt: "Image alt",                                   //Optional
            //mimeType: "image/jpeg",                           //Optional (detects from URL file extension if not set.)
            cardType: SeoTags.TwitterCardType.SummaryLargeImage //Optional
        );

        seoInfo.SetArticleInfo(
            authorName: "Author Name",
            publishDate: DateTimeOffset.Now,
            modifiedDate: DateTimeOffset.Now,                   //Optional
            authorTwitterId: "@MyTwitterId",                    //Optional
            authorFacebookId: "https://facebook.com/MyUserId",  //Optional
            authorUrl: "https://github.com/author-profile",     //Optional
            section: "Article Topic"                            //Optional
        );

        //Add another RSS feed. (only for this page) (Optional)
        seoInfo.AddFeed("Post Comments", "https://site.com/post/comment/rss", SeoTags.FeedType.Rss);
    });
}
