Install Strapi SEO

Add required fields

Add some extra fields for the Littlebox Strapi Suite plugin to work correctly. Read below to see which fields are mandatory.

Slug and title

You can access any document, whether it’s part of a collection or a single type, through the API using its slug. The Littlebox Suite plugin adds slug-based search functionality, which is especially useful for building dynamic websites like blogs. Every document you want to expose to the frontend through the API must include the custom field Littlebox Slug, along with the Title field. Read more about how the slug works.

Robots

Robots meta tags play an important role in technical SEO. They give you precise control over how search engines handle each page on your site. However, these fields are only required when you use the frontend. To make the plugin work correctly, create the following custom fields:

index tells search engines to include the page in their index so it appears in search results.
follow tells bots to follow the links on the page and pass link authority (“link juice”). This is also the default behavior.
nocache asks Google and other search engines not to store a cached version of the page.
noimageindex useful when you don’t want images from the page to appear in image search results, while still allowing the rest of the page to be indexed and crawled.

Follow these steps to create the fields. Make sure you install the official Strapi SEO plugin first. Step 1: Access the Strapi admin panel.
Step 2: Go to the “Content-Type Builder”.
Step 3: In the list of components, click on “seo”.
Step 4: Click “Add another field to this component”.
Step 5: Select the “Component” field.
