🔎 gatsby-plugin-seo

SEO plugin for Gastby. Supports Facebook, Twitter, Open Graph, and meta tags.

📦 Installation

This package is installable from npm.

npm install @bradgarropy/gatsby-plugin-seo

🥑 Usage

To add a base set of SEO tags, create a custom <Layout/> component and add the <SEO/> component there. The SEO tags will render for every route in your site.

// .src/components/Layout.js

import SEO from "@bradgarropy/next-seo"

const Layout = ({children}) => {
    return (
        <>
            <SEO title="My website" description="A blog and portfolio" />
            {children}
        </>
    )
}

export default Layout

If you want to override SEO tags on individual pages, use the <SEO/> component and only include the props that you want to update. For example, if you added <SEO/> in the Layout.js file as shown above, and then included <SEO/> in the about.js file as shown below, the description would be overwritten to be Learn more about me.

// .src/pages/about.js

import SEO from "@bradgarropy/next-seo"
import Layout from "../components/layout"

const AboutPage = () => {
    return (
        <Layout>
            <SEO description="Learn more about me" />
            <h1>about</h1>
        </Layout>
    )
}

export default AboutPage

With this capability, you can create a default set of SEO tags, and then tailor certain properties on specific pages.
