SEO

Handlers can set title, Open Graph, and canonical metadata directly without template overrides. SEO tags come from the handler, not from scattered template includes or a global layout config.

How it works

The response resource exposes pageTitle() and seoTag() methods. Call them in the handler and the framework injects the correct <title>, <meta>, and Open Graph tags into the rendered document.

return $resource
    ->pageTitle('SEO — Semitexa Demo')
    ->seoTag('description', 'Set title, description, and Open Graph tags…')
    ->seoTag('og:title', 'SEO — Semitexa Demo')
    ->seoTag('og:description', 'Set title, description, and Open Graph tags…')
    ->seoTag('og:type', 'website');

Key mechanisms

• pageTitle() — sets the document <title> tag.
• seoTag() — sets any <meta name> or <meta property> tag by key and value.
• Open Graph — og:title, og:description, og:type, and any other OG property are declared the same way.
• Structured data — the same pattern extends to JSON-LD and other structured metadata formats.

Why this matters

Template-level SEO hacks — overriding block variables, injecting strings through config, or writing per-page Twig blocks — make metadata a hidden concern that drifts away from the handler logic that owns the data. Keeping SEO declarations on the response resource means the full-page contract is visible in one place.
