Next.js SEO Plugin

A complete SEO toolkit for Next.js applications

What is this?

alidan-premium-seo is a SEO package for Next.js that handles meta tags, Open Graph, Twitter Cards, structured data, sitemaps, and includes real-time SEO analysis. Works with both App Router and Pages Router.

Add Twitter Card metadata
Generate structured data (Schema.org) for rich snippets

Doing this manually means repeating boilerplate code, making mistakes, and spending hours on tasks that should be automated. This package handles all of it with a simple API.

Automatic fallbacks and defaults

Structured Data

Article, Product, Organization, Breadcrumb, Website schemas
Type-safe schema builders

Technical SEO

Programmatic robots.txt creation
Support for both Next.js routing systems

SEO Analysis

Real-time SEO scoring (0-100)
Keyword density tracking
Readability analysis (Flesch Reading Ease)
Automatic issue detection with actionable fixes
Best practices validation

Developer Experience

Full TypeScript support
Works with App Router and Pages Router
Zero configuration required
Lightweight with no runtime overhead

Why use this instead of manual work?

Problem 1: Repetitive Boilerplate

Manual approach:

// You write this for every page
<Head>
  <title>Page Title</title>
  <meta name="description" content="Description" />
  <meta property="og:title" content="Page Title" />
  <meta property="og:description" content="Description" />
  <meta property="og:image" content="https://..." />
  <meta property="og:type" content="website" />
  <meta name="twitter:card" content="summary_large_image" />
  <meta name="twitter:title" content="Page Title" />
  <meta name="twitter:description" content="Description" />
  <link rel="canonical" href="https://..." />
  {/* ... 20+ more lines */}
</Head>

With this package:

<SEOHead config={{ title: 'Page Title', description: 'Description' }} />

One line instead of 20+. The package generates all meta tags automatically.

Problem 2: Easy to Make Mistakes

Manual issues:

Forget to add Open Graph tags → poor social sharing
Missing canonical URLs → duplicate content penalties
Wrong meta tag format → search engines ignore them
Inconsistent formatting across pages

How this package helps:

Validates all inputs
Ensures correct meta tag structure
Provides sensible defaults
Consistent output across all pages

Problem 3: No SEO Feedback

Manual approach:

Write content, publish, hope it's optimized
No way to know if title is too long
No keyword density tracking
No readability checks
Find issues after publishing

How this package helps:

Real-time SEO analysis as you type
Instant feedback on title length, description length
Keyword density calculations
Readability scoring
Issue detection before publishing

Problem 4: Structured Data is Complex

Manual approach:

// Writing Schema.org JSON-LD manually
<script type="application/ld+json">
{JSON.stringify({
  "@context": "https://schema.org",
  "@type": "Article",
  "headline": "Article Title",
  "description": "Description",
  "image": "https://...",
  "datePublished": "2024-01-01",
  "author": {
    "@type": "Person",
    "name": "Author Name"
  },
  "publisher": {
    "@type": "Organization",
    "name": "Publisher",
    "url": "https://..."
  }
})}
</script>

Easy to make syntax errors, forget required fields, or use wrong schema types.

With this package:

const schema = generateArticleSchema({
  headline: 'Article Title',
  description: 'Description',
  image: 'https://...',
  datePublished: '2024-01-01',
  author: { name: 'Author Name' },
  publisher: { name: 'Publisher', url: 'https://...' },
});

Type-safe, validated, and guaranteed to be correct.

Problem 5: Sitemap Maintenance

Manual approach:

Create XML sitemap file
Update it every time you add/remove pages
Manually set priorities and change frequencies
Easy to forget or make errors

How this package helps:

Generate sitemaps programmatically
Pull from your routes automatically
Type-safe configuration
Works with dynamic routes

Problem 6: Time Consuming

Manual SEO setup per page:

Write meta tags: 5-10 minutes
Add Open Graph: 5 minutes
Create structured data: 10-15 minutes
Validate everything: 5 minutes
Total: 25-30 minutes per page

With this package:

Configure SEO: 1-2 minutes
Analysis feedback: instant
Total: 1-2 minutes per page

Saves 20+ minutes per page. For a site with 50 pages, that's 16+ hours saved.

Problem 7: No Type Safety

Manual approach:

Typos in meta tag names
Wrong property values
Missing required fields
Runtime errors discovered later

How this package helps:

Full TypeScript support
Compile-time error checking
Autocomplete for all options
Type-safe schema generation

How it works

The package provides a unified API for all SEO needs:

Configuration: Pass your SEO data once
Generation: Automatically creates all meta tags, structured data, etc.
Analysis: Real-time feedback on SEO quality
Validation: Ensures everything follows best practices

You focus on your content, the package handles the technical SEO details.

function ContentEditor() {
  const { seoConfig, updateSEO, analysis } = useSEO({

Notes

This package doesn't include form components. You'll need to create your own forms to collect SEO data.
The SEO analysis works best when you provide both the SEO config and the page content.
Always use absolute URLs for Open Graph images and canonical URLs.
Validate structured data with Google's Rich Results Test.
