Create Your First AI Application Using Laravel & Open AI

Creating meta tags for your Laravel application can be an important step in optimizing the performance and accessibility of your website. Meta tags are snippets of code that provide search engines with information about the contents of a web page. By properly implementing meta tags, you can improve your SEO ranking and ensure that your website is easily found by potential users. 

In this tutorial, we’ll show you how to generate meta tags for a Laravel application. This guide is also applicable to other web frameworks, such as Symfony and CodeIgniter.

At the core of creating meta tags is the Open Graph Protocol (OGP). This protocol allows developers to add meta tags to their websites that describe the content in a structured way, allowing search engines to better index the page. For example, OGP allows you to specify the title, description and image of a page. 

To get started, install the Artesaos/SEOTools package from Packagist. This package will enable you to quickly generate meta tags for your website using a variety of methods. Once installed, you can use the SeoTrait trait in any model or controller.

Using the SeoFields method, you can easily create meta tags for your Laravel application. All you need to do is specify the contents of the meta tags in the following format:

$seo->setTitle('My Website');
$seo->setDescription('My website is the best website in the world!');
$seo->setImage('http://mywebsite.com/image.jpg');

Once the meta tags are set, you can output them in your view files using the seo() method. This method will generate the appropriate HTML tags, including og:title, og:description and og:image. 

Finally, you can easily modify or update the meta tags for your website at any time. This is especially useful if you regularly update the contents of your website.

By combining the power of the Open Graph Protocol and the SeoTrait from the Artesaos/SEOTools package, you can easily generate meta tags for your Laravel application. This will help you optimize the performance and accessibility of your website, allowing it to be easily indexed by search engines.
