# Nuxt SEO v5

**Status**: Production Ready | **Dependencies**: Nuxt >=4.0.0

Use this skill when building SEO-optimized Nuxt applications with any combination of the 8 official Nuxt SEO modules plus standalone modules.

---

## Quick Start (5 Minutes)

### 1. Install Complete SEO Bundle

```bash
# Recommended (v5)
npx nuxt module add @nuxtjs/seo
```

### 2. Configure Site Settings

```typescript
export default defineNuxtConfig({
  modules: ['@nuxtjs/seo'],

  site: {
    url: 'https://example.com',
    name: 'My Awesome Site',
    description: 'Building amazing web experiences',
    defaultLocale: 'en'
  }
})
```

**CRITICAL (v5 Breaking Change):**
- `site.name` is NO LONGER auto-inferred from `package.json` — set it explicitly
- Set `site.url` to production URL (required for sitemaps and canonical URLs)
- Set `defaultLocale` if using i18n

### 3. Restart and Verify

Visit these URLs to verify:
- `/robots.txt` - Robots file
- `/sitemap.xml` - Sitemap
- `/__robots__/debug-production.json` - Debug (v5)
- `/__sitemap__/debug-production.json` - Debug (v5)

### Individual Module Install

```bash
npx nuxt module add @nuxtjs/robots
npx nuxt module add @nuxtjs/sitemap
npx nuxt module add nuxt-og-image
```

---

## Module Overview

| Module | Version | Purpose |
|--------|---------|---------|
| **@nuxtjs/seo** | v5.1.0 | Primary SEO module (installs all 8 as bundle) |
| **@nuxtjs/robots** | v6.0.6 | Manages robots.txt and bot detection |
| **@nuxtjs/sitemap** | v8.0.11 | Generates XML sitemaps with advanced features |
| **nuxt-og-image** | v6.3.1 | Creates Open Graph images via Vue templates |
| **nuxt-schema-org** | v6.0.4 | Builds Schema.org structured data graphs |
| **nuxt-link-checker** | v5.0.6 | Finds and fixes broken links with ESLint integration |
| **nuxt-seo-utils** | v8.1.4 | SEO utilities, share links, favicons, inline minification |
| **nuxt-site-config** | v4.0.7 | Centralized site configuration management |

**Standalone (MIT)**: `nuxt-ai-ready` (llms.txt), `nuxt-skew-protection` (version safety)
**Pro (Paid)**: Nuxt SEO Pro — Search Console, Core Web Vitals, MCP server

**For detailed module docs:** Load `references/module-details.md`

## Critical Rules

### Always Do

- Set `site.url` AND `site.name` explicitly in nuxt.config.ts (v5: name no longer auto-inferred)
- Use environment variables for multi-environment setups
- Configure robots.txt to block admin/private pages
- Add Schema.org structured data to all important pages
- Generate OG images for social sharing
- Use `getSiteConfig(event)` on server side (v5: `useSiteConfig(event)` removed)
- Use `defineSitemapSchema()` for Content v3 (v5: `asSitemapCollection()` deprecated)

### Never Do

- Forget to set `site.url` and `site.name` (breaks sitemaps, canonical URLs, titles)
- Allow crawling of staging environments
- Use `useSiteConfig(event)` on server side (v5: use `getSiteConfig(event)`)
- Use `asSitemapCollection()` (v5: use `defineSitemapSchema()`)
- Use `getSiteIndexable()` (v5: use `{ indexable } = getSiteConfig(event)`)

## Known Issues Prevention

### Issue #1: Sitemap Not Generating

**Error**: `/sitemap.xml` returns 404 | **Fix**: Set `site.url` in nuxt.config.ts

### Issue #2: robots.txt Missing

**Error**: `/robots.txt` not accessible | **Fix**: Install `@nuxtjs/robots` and set `site.url`

### Issue #3: OG Images Not Rendering

**Error**: `/__og-image__/og.png` returns error | **Fix**: Use Satori-compatible CSS or switch to Chromium renderer

### Issue #4: Schema Validation Errors

**Error**: Invalid JSON-LD | **Fix**: Follow official Schema.org types, validate with Google Rich Results Test

### Issue #5: Broken Internal Links

**Error**: 404 on internal links | **Fix**: Enable `nuxt-link-checker` with ESLint rules during development

### Issue #6: Duplicate Meta Tags

**Error**: Multiple meta tags with same property | **Fix**: Let modules handle meta tags automatically

### Issue #7: Canonical URL Issues

**Error**: Wrong canonical URL | **Fix**: Configure `site.url` and `trailingSlash` correctly

### Issue #8: Sitemap Index Errors

**Error**: Sitemap index XML malformed | **Fix**: Use `chunkSize` option to split large sitemaps

### Issue #9: Crawling Staging Environment

**Error**: Staging indexed by Google | **Fix**: `disallow: process.env.NUXT_PUBLIC_ENV === 'staging' ? ['/'] : []`

### Issue #10: Missing Social Sharing Images

**Error**: No preview on social media | **Fix**: Use `defineOgImage()` on all important pages

### Issue #11: Missing Site Name (v5 Breaking)

**Error**: Site title/og:site_name missing | **Fix**: Set `site.name` in nuxt.config.ts or `NUXT_SITE_NAME` env var
**Ref**: https://nuxtseo.com/docs/nuxt-seo/migration-guide/v4-to-v5

### Issue #12: Server-Side useSiteConfig Error (v5 Breaking)

**Error**: `useSiteConfig is not a function` on server | **Fix**: Use `getSiteConfig(event)` on server side
**Ref**: https://github.com/harlan-zw/nuxt-site-config/releases

### Issue #13: Deprecated Content Composables (v5 Breaking)

**Error**: `asSitemapCollection is not defined` | **Fix**: Use `defineSitemapSchema()`, `defineSchemaOrgSchema()`, `defineRobotsSchema()`
**Ref**: https://nuxtseo.com/docs/nuxt-seo/migration-guide/v4-to-v5

### Issue #14: OG Image Security Errors (v5)

**Error**: OG image requests return 403 or signature errors | **Fix**: Use `defineOgImage()` properly; don't manually construct OG image URLs
**Ref**: https://nuxtseo.com/docs/og-image/getting-started/introduction

---

## Configuration Example

```typescript
export default defineNuxtConfig({
  modules: ['@nuxtjs/seo'],

  site: {
    url: process.env.NUXT_PUBLIC_SITE_URL,
    name: 'My Site',
    defaultLocale: 'en'
  },

  robots: {
    disallow: process.env.NUXT_PUBLIC_ENV === 'staging' ? ['/'] : []
  },

  sitemap: {
    sitemaps: {
      blog: { sources: ['/api/__sitemap__/blog'] }
    }
  }
})
```
