Best Practices for Metadata and Open Graph Tags in Umbraco 13?

I’m updating a site in Umbraco 13 and want to make sure I’m doing metadata and Open Graph tags correctly. Is there a clean way to manage them, each page in the CMS?

Packages like SeoToolkit could help with this (disclaimer: I made SeoToolkit) :wink:
Otherwise there are also other packages that can do this for you.

If you don’t want to use a package, you’ll probably have to make sure you have fields on each of your document types (or composition) for your meta fields.

Hello,
In Umbraco 13, the cleanest way to manage metadata and Open Graph tags is to create a composition with fields like meta title, description, and OG tags, then include that on each relevant document type. You’d then render those values in your layout using a partial view.

If you’re using a visual page builder, like ByteEditor, you can go a step further: it allows you to manage SEO metadata directly from the page editing interface, so you can preview and adjust metadata in context, without switching views.

Hope it helps, all the best!
