Installation
Step 1: Install via Composer
Run the following command to install the package:
composer require devrabiul/laravel-seo-manager
Step 2: Service Provider (Laravel 5.4 and below)
Laravel 5.5 and above support auto-discovery, so no manual provider registration is needed. For earlier versions of Laravel, you need to add the service provider to config/app.php:
'providers' => [ Devrabiul\LaravelSeoManager\SEOManagerServiceProvider::class, ],
Step 3: Publish the Configuration
Run the following command to publish the configuration file:
php artisan vendor:publish --provider="Devrabiul\LaravelSeoManager\SEOManagerServiceProvider"
This will create the laravel-seo-manager.php configuration file in the config directory.
Configuration
After installation, you can configure the meta tags in the config/laravel-seo-manager.php file. Here's a summary of the available options:
| Option | Description |

Defines search engine crawling rules (e.g., all, noindex) |
revisit_after |
Time interval for search engine re-crawling (e.g., 1 day) |

Usage
After configuring the meta tags, you can include them in your Blade templates by adding the following code:
Standard Meta Tags
@include('seo::meta')
This will automatically use the values set in the laravel-seo-manager.php config file. However, you can override specific values by passing them as arguments:
@include('seo::meta', [ 'title' => 'My Custom Title', 'description' => 'This is a custom description.', 'image' => 'https://example.com/image.jpg', ])
Schema Markup
You can also include schema markup using the schema view. Here’s an example for a blog post:
@include('seo::schema', [ 'breadcrumbs' => [ ['name' => 'Home', 'url' => url('/')], ['name' => 'Blog', 'url' => url('/blog')], ['name' => 'Post Title', 'url' => url()->current()], ], 'article_body' => 'This is the content of the article...', 'date_published' => '2024-01-01T12:00:00+00:00', 'date_modified' => '2024-01-05T14:30:00+00:00', ])
Example Usage
Here’s a complete example of using the package:
<!DOCTYPE html> <html lang="en"> <head> <meta charset="UTF-8"> <title>Document</title> @include('seo::meta', [ 'title' => 'My Example Title', 'description' => 'This is my example description.', 'image' => 'https://example.com/image.jpg', ]) </head> <body> <h1>Welcome to My Website</h1> @include('seo::schema', [ 'breadcrumbs' => [ ['name' => 'Home', 'url' => url('/')], ['name' => 'About', 'url' => url('/about')], ], 'article_body' => 'This is the body content of the article...', 'date_published' => '2024-01-01T12:00:00+00:00', 'date_modified' => '2024-01-05T14:30:00+00:00', ]) </body> </html>
