Adding SEO tags to a Vue 3 application involves updating the HTML metadata of your pages. Here are the basic steps to add SEO tags to a Vue 3 application:
Install Vue Meta:
Vue Meta is a popular library for handling metadata in Vue.js applications. You can install it using npm or yarn:
npm install vue-meta@3
or
yarn add vue-meta@3
Integrate Vue Meta in your Vue 3 application:
In your main entry file (usually main.js or main.ts), import and use Vue Meta:
import { createApp } from 'vue'
import App from './App.vue'
import { createMetaManager } from 'vue-meta'
const app = createApp(App)
app.use(createMetaManager())
app.mount('#app')
Use metaInfo in Components:
In each component where you want to set SEO tags, you can use the metaInfo option. This option is provided by Vue Meta.
<template>
<div>
<!-- Your component content -->
</div>
</template>
<script>
export default {
metaInfo: {
title: 'Page Title',
meta: [
{ name: 'description', content: 'Description of the page' },
// Add more meta tags as needed
],
},
}
</script>
Dynamic SEO Tags:
You can also make your SEO tags dynamic based on component data or route information. For example:
<script>
export default {
data() {
return {
pageTitle: 'Dynamic Page Title',
pageDescription: 'Dynamic description for the page',
};
},
computed: {
dynamicMetaInfo() {
return {
title: this.pageTitle,
meta: [
{ name: 'description', content: this.pageDescription },
// Add more dynamic meta tags as needed
],
};
},
},
metaInfo() {
return this.dynamicMetaInfo;
},
};
</script>
Configure Vue Router (if applicable):
If your Vue 3 application uses Vue Router, you might need to configure it to update the metadata on route changes. Refer to the Vue Meta documentation for specific instructions on this.
Build Your Application:
After making changes, build and deploy your application. The SEO tags will be updated based on the configurations you've set.
Remember to test your application and check the rendered HTML to ensure that the SEO tags are being set correctly. Additionally, consider using tools like Google's Search Console to monitor how search engines index your pages.
