SEO - Search Engine Optimization

The Seo addon simplifies the addition of meta tags that search engines and social media sites need, like the og:image and og:description tags, as well as the <title> on the page. Any other HTML can be also be added via this addon to the <head> of the page.

The Resources addon produces its own <head> html for scripts and stylesheets and collects html from the SEO addon. The Theme view will get this html from the resources addon and print it.

Convenience Methods

Call any or all of the following methods to setup the meta tags for a page. Be sure to use full URLs, as some search engines and social media sites require this.

<?php  
$seo = \Lia\Addon\Seo::from($lia);  
$seo->title('Test Page'); // <title> and og:title  
$seo->description('Test description'); // <meta name="description">, og:title, twitter:card summary, and og:type article  
$seo->image('https://example.com/path/to/image.jpg', 'required alt text for image'); // og:image, twitter:image, og:image:alt  
$seo->url('https://example.com/canonical/url/'); // link canonical, og:url  
$seo->site_name('Liaison test'); // og:site_name  
$seo->keywords('blog,politics,fascism'); // meta name="keywords"

Output:

<title>Test Page</title>  
<meta property="og:title" content="Test Page" />  
<meta name="description" content="Test description" />  
<meta property="og:description" content="Test description" />  
<meta property="og:type" content="article" />  
<meta property="twitter:card" content="summary" />  
<meta property="og:image" content="https://example.com/path/to/image.jpg" />  
<meta property="twitter:image" content="https://example.com/path/to/image.jpg" />  
<meta property="og:image:alt" content="required alt text for image" />  
<link rel="canonical" href="https://example.com/canonical/url/" />  
<meta name="og:url" content="https://example.com/canonical/url/" />  
<meta name="og:site_name" content="Liaison test" />  
<meta name="keywords" content="blog,politics,fascism" />

Seo tags from array

From Array:
You can also setup seo data from an array, which will call each of the appropriate methods above. (the array key is the method name)

<?php  
$seo = \Lia\Addon\Seo::from($lia);  
$seo_data = [  
    'title' => 'Test Page',  
    'description' => 'Test description',  
    'image' => ['https://example.com/path/to/image.jpg', 'required alt text for image'],  
    'url' => 'https://example.com/canonical/url/',  
    'site_name' => 'Liaison test',  
    'keywords'=> 'blog,politics,fascism,2025',  
];  
$seo->seo($seo_data);

The output is the same as calling the methods directly.

Arbitrary HTML & Meta tags

  • \Lia\Addon\Seo::from($lia)->addHeadHtml('<arbitrary html>'); - add any html you want to the <head>
  • \Lia\Addon\Seo::from($lia)->meta("example", "information"); - Add an arbitrary <meta> tag to the <head> like <meta name="example" content="information">
