SEO

Setup

1. Configure default SEO tags in settings.py:

   • DOMAIN
   • APP_NAME
   • DESCRIPTION
   • KEYWORDS

Thanks to the layout in base.html and the context processor in context_processors.py all the important SEO tags (with your default values) will be made available/added to all pages.

1. To add custom SEO values and tags to a page without rewriting all the tags, do this:

   your_template.html

   {% extends "base.html" %}
   
   {% block title %}Custom Title{% endblock %}
   {% block description %}Custom Description{% endblock %}
   {% block keywords %}Custom Keywords{% endblock %}
   {% block extrahead %}
     <!-- your custom tags -->
   {% endblock extrahead %}
   
   {% block content %}
   <!-- ... -->
   

2. The post.html template includes structured data for blog posts in the form of JSON-LD. This is used by Google to display rich snippets in the search results. Use this as reference, if you want to add structured data to other pages.

3. By default, all blog related pages are included in the sitemap.xml file, see blog/sitemaps.py. Additionally, the index, privacy policy and terms of service pages are included (see config/sitemaps.py). Add additional individual pages to the sitemap by adding them to the items function in the config/sitemaps.py file.

Tip

Verify your site ownership in the Google Search Console to enable site indexing monitoring and submit your sitemap.xml
