    Umbraco custom SEO metatags on every page

    Hi all,

    So I'm mucking around on my test website and I'm trying to create a custom SEO for each page instead of one generic one. I know there are packages, but I wan't to create it on my own.

    So far I'm able to show a custom meta tag for each individual project page by

    1. Using a short description = meta tag description
    2. Looping of over the tags = meta tag keywords
    3. Fetching the author name = meta tag author

    e.g. :

    page = http://test.don-zalmrol.be/it-blog/set-up-clamav-for-xeams/ source = view-source:http://test.don-zalmrol.be/it-blog/set-up-clamav-for-xeams/

    The now tricky part is the generic pages like the homepage, about, contact, sitemap, etc... with the usage of tags.

    Since I already have tags in use for my projects, one could say to keep using them.

    Problem then is that the for example the homepage would also become a listed tag, unless I work with a "hidetag bool" kind of method.

    Or perhaps a seperate taglist for project pages and generic pages.

    Someone who encountered the same issue?

    Thx!

    Hi Laurens,

    I'm not sure if I understand your question correctly, if it's just about the tags then you can set a "tag group" in your tag property editor. So you would create two different property editors of type tag editor one named "News Tags" and the other one "General Tags".

    Then use the correct property editor in you document types.

    Is that what you're after?

    Regards David

    Hi David, that was indeed the solution by creating different tag groups. Silly that can be simple sometimes :)

    When it comes to sitemap.xml, try to generate your own tool such as screaming frog

    and more

    Oh I already have a generator build for my Umbraco site, it fetches the needed links automatically :)

    by the way "meta tag keyword" is since years no longer relevant. Only meta title and description :)
