Render meta tags¶

SEOChecker renders the <title>, meta, canonical, hreflang and social tags for your pages. You only need this when you use the SEO property.

Use the tag helper¶

This is the recommended way.

Add the SEOChecker tag helpers to Views/_ViewImports.cshtml:
Views/_ViewImports.cshtml
```
@addTagHelper *, SEOChecker.Library
```

Add the tag helper to the <head> of your layout:

<head>
    <seochecker-metadata />
</head>

The tag helper renders all tags for the current page.

Render tags from the property value¶

You can also read the SEO Checker property of the page as a MetaData object and render the tags yourself. In the examples below the property alias is seoChecker.

@{
    var meta = Model.Value<SEOChecker.Library.Models.MetaData>("seoChecker");
}

Property	Renders
`meta.AllTags`	All tags below, plus `hreflang` links and social tags when they apply.
`meta.SearchEngineTags`	The title, description, keywords, robots and canonical tags.
`meta.SocialTags`	The Open Graph and X (Twitter) tags.
`meta.Title`	The SEO title, with the title template applied.
`meta.Description`	The SEO description.
`meta.Keywords`	The keywords. Only set when the Data Type uses keywords.
`meta.Robots`	The robots value, based on the robots settings.
`meta.CanonicalUrl`	The canonical URL.

For example, to render all tags:

@meta.AllTags

Or to render tags one by one:

<title>@meta.Title</title>
<meta name="description" content="@meta.Description" />
<meta name="robots" content="@meta.Robots" />
<link rel="canonical" href="@meta.CanonicalUrl" />

Special properties¶

Add a property with one of these aliases to a Document Type to change how SEOChecker handles a page.

Alias	Type	Description
`seoCanonicalUrl`	Content Picker	The page to use as the canonical URL.
`seoXmlSiteMapHide`	Toggle	When on, the page is left out of the XML sitemap.
`seoIncludeRootInXmlSitemap`	Toggle	On a root node, such as a data folder: when on, the node is included in every sitemap.
`seoExcludeValidation`	Toggle	When on, the page is skipped by Validate Pages. The SEO property still validates the page.
`seoForceHTTPS`	Toggle	When on, the XML sitemap uses the HTTPS URL of the page.
