Technical SEO Fundamentals

1. HTML Semantics

                <!-- ✅ Proper semantic structure -->
<!DOCTYPE html>
<html lang="en">
<head>
  <meta charset="UTF-8">
  <meta name="viewport" content="width=device-width, initial-scale=1.0">
  <title>Page Title - Brand Name</title>
  <meta name="description" content="Compelling page description under 160 characters">
</head>
<body>
  <header>
    <nav>
      <h1>Site Logo</h1>
      <ul>
        <li><a href="/">Home</a></li>
        <li><a href="/about">About</a></li>
      </ul>
    </nav>
  </header>
  
  <main>
    <article>
      <h1>Main Page Heading</h1>
      <h2>Section Heading</h2>
      <p>Content paragraph...</p>
    </article>
  </main>
  
  <footer>
    <p>&copy; 2025 Company Name</p>
  </footer>
</body>
</html>

              

2. Meta Tags Optimization

                // Next.js Metadata API
import { Metadata } from 'next'

export const metadata: Metadata = {
  title: 'Page Title - Brand Name',
  description: 'Compelling description under 160 characters that includes target keywords',
  keywords: ['keyword1', 'keyword2', 'keyword3'],
  
  // Open Graph for social sharing
  openGraph: {
    title: 'Page Title for Social Media',
    description: 'Description for social media sharing',
    images: [
      {
        url: '/og-image.jpg',
        width: 1200,
        height: 630,
        alt: 'Image description'
      }
    ],
    type: 'website',
    locale: 'en_US',
    siteName: 'Site Name'
  },
  
  // Twitter Card
  twitter: {
    card: 'summary_large_image',
    title: 'Page Title for Twitter',
    description: 'Description for Twitter sharing',
    images: ['/twitter-image.jpg'],
    creator: '@username'
  },
  
  // Additional meta tags
  robots: {
    index: true,
    follow: true,
    googleBot: {
      index: true,
      follow: true,
      'max-video-preview': -1,
      'max-image-preview': 'large',
      'max-snippet': -1
    }
  },
  
  // Canonical URL
  alternates: {
    canonical: 'https://example.com/page'
  }
}

              

3. Structured Data (Schema.org)

                // JSON-LD structured data
export default function BlogPost({ post }) {
  const structuredData = {
    '@context': 'https://schema.org',
    '@type': 'BlogPosting',
    headline: post.title,
    description: post.excerpt,
    image: post.image,
    author: {
      '@type': 'Person',
      name: post.author.name
    },
    publisher: {
      '@type': 'Organization',
      name: 'Site Name',
      logo: {
        '@type': 'ImageObject',
        url: 'https://example.com/logo.png'
      }
    },
    datePublished: post.publishedAt,
    dateModified: post.updatedAt,
    mainEntityOfPage: {
      '@type': 'WebPage',
      '@id': `https://example.com/blog/${post.slug}`
    }
  }
  
  return (
    <>
      <script
        type="application/ld+json"
        dangerouslySetInnerHTML={{ __html: JSON.stringify(structuredData) }}
      />
      <article>
        <h1>{post.title}</h1>
        <div dangerouslySetInnerHTML={{ __html: post.content }} />
      </article>
    </>
  )
}

              

Next.js SEO Implementation

1. Dynamic Metadata Generation

                // app/blog/[slug]/page.tsx
export async function generateMetadata({ params }): Promise<Metadata> {
  const post = await getPost(params.slug)
  
  if (!post) {
    return {
      title: 'Post Not Found'
    }
  }
  
  return {
    title: `${post.title} | Blog`,
    description: post.excerpt,
    openGraph: {
      title: post.title,
      description: post.excerpt,
      images: [post.featuredImage],
      type: 'article',
      publishedTime: post.publishedAt,
      authors: [post.author.name]
    },
    alternates: {
      canonical: `https://example.com/blog/${post.slug}`
    }
  }
}

              

2. Sitemap Generation

                // app/sitemap.ts
import { MetadataRoute } from 'next'

export default async function sitemap(): Promise<MetadataRoute.Sitemap> {
  const posts = await getAllPosts()
  const pages = await getAllPages()
  
  const postUrls = posts.map(post => ({
    url: `https://example.com/blog/${post.slug}`,
    lastModified: post.updatedAt,
    changeFrequency: 'weekly' as const,
    priority: 0.8
  }))
  
  const pageUrls = pages.map(page => ({
    url: `https://example.com/${page.slug}`,
    lastModified: page.updatedAt,
    changeFrequency: 'monthly' as const,
    priority: 0.9
  }))
  
  return [
    {
      url: 'https://example.com',
      lastModified: new Date(),
      changeFrequency: 'daily',
      priority: 1
    },
    ...pageUrls,
    ...postUrls
  ]
}

              

3. Robots.txt

                // app/robots.ts
import { MetadataRoute } from 'next'

export default function robots(): MetadataRoute.Robots {
  return {
    rules: [
      {
        userAgent: '*',
        allow: '/',
        disallow: ['/admin/', '/api/', '/private/']
      },
      {
        userAgent: 'Googlebot',
        allow: '/',
        disallow: ['/admin/', '/private/']
      }
    ],
    sitemap: 'https://example.com/sitemap.xml',
    host: 'https://example.com'
  }
}

              

Performance SEO

1. Core Web Vitals Optimization

                // Optimize Largest Contentful Paint (LCP)
import Image from 'next/image'

export default function HeroSection() {
  return (
    <section>
      <Image
        src="/hero-image.jpg"
        alt="Hero image"
        width={1200}
        height={600}
        priority // Load immediately for LCP
        placeholder="blur"
        blurDataURL="data:image/jpeg;base64,..."
      />
    </section>
  )
}

// Optimize First Input Delay (FID)
import dynamic from 'next/dynamic'

const HeavyComponent = dynamic(() => import('./HeavyComponent'), {
  loading: () => <Skeleton />,
  ssr: false // Don't block initial render
})

// Optimize Cumulative Layout Shift (CLS)
// Reserve space for dynamic content
.skeleton {
  width: 100%;
  height: 200px; /* Match expected content height */
  background: linear-gradient(90deg, #f0f0f0 25%, #e0e0e0 50%, #f0f0f0 75%);
  animation: loading 1.5s infinite;
}

              

2. Image SEO

                import Image from 'next/image'

export default function OptimizedImage() {
  return (
    <Image
      src="/product-image.jpg"
      alt="Detailed product description with keywords"
      width={800}
      height={600}
      sizes="(max-width: 768px) 100vw, (max-width: 1200px) 50vw, 33vw"
      placeholder="blur"
      blurDataURL="data:image/jpeg;base64,..."
      // SEO attributes
      title="Product name for tooltip"
    />
  )
}

// Image optimization config
// next.config.js
module.exports = {
  images: {
    formats: ['image/webp', 'image/avif'],
    domains: ['example.com', 'cdn.example.com'],
    deviceSizes: [640, 750, 828, 1080, 1200, 1920, 2048, 3840],
    imageSizes: [16, 32, 48, 64, 96, 128, 256, 384]
  }
}

                // ✅ Good URL structure
/blog/how-to-optimize-nextjs-seo
/products/category/subcategory/product-name
/about/team/john-doe

// ❌ Poor URL structure
/blog/post?id=123
/products?cat=1&subcat=2&prod=456
/page.php?section=about&subsection=team&id=1

// Dynamic routes in Next.js
// pages/blog/[...slug].tsx
export async function getStaticPaths() {
  const posts = await getAllPosts()
  
  const paths = posts.map(post => ({
    params: { 
      slug: post.slug.split('/') // Support nested paths
    }
  }))
  
  return {
    paths,
    fallback: 'blocking'
  }
}

              

2. Internal Linking

                import Link from 'next/link'

export default function BlogPost({ post, relatedPosts }) {
  return (
    <article>
      <h1>{post.title}</h1>
      <div dangerouslySetInnerHTML={{ __html: post.content }} />
      
      {/* Related posts for internal linking */}
      <section>
        <h2>Related Articles</h2>
        {relatedPosts.map(related => (
          <Link 
            key={related.id}
            href={`/blog/${related.slug}`}
            title={`Read more about ${related.title}`}
          >
            {related.title}
          </Link>
        ))}
      </section>
      
      {/* Breadcrumb navigation */}
      <nav aria-label="Breadcrumb">
        <ol>
          <li><Link href="/">Home</Link></li>
          <li><Link href="/blog">Blog</Link></li>
          <li aria-current="page">{post.title}</li>
