# SEO & OpenGraph Implementation Complete
|
||||
|
||||
**Date:** November 9, 2025
|
||||
**Phase:** Post-MVP Enhancement - SEO Suite
|
||||
**Status:** Backend Complete ✅ / Frontend Integration Required
|
||||
|
||||
---
|
||||
|
||||
## ✅ COMPLETED BACKEND IMPLEMENTATION
|
||||
|
||||
### 1. Django Meta Tag System (`apps/core/utils/seo.py`)
|
||||
|
||||
Created comprehensive `SEOTags` class that generates:
|
||||
|
||||
#### Meta Tags for All Entity Types:
|
||||
- **Parks** - `SEOTags.for_park(park)`
|
||||
- **Rides** - `SEOTags.for_ride(ride)`
|
||||
- **Companies** - `SEOTags.for_company(company)`
|
||||
- **Ride Models** - `SEOTags.for_ride_model(model)`
|
||||
- **Home Page** - `SEOTags.for_home()`
|
||||
|
||||
#### Each Method Returns:
|
||||
```python
|
||||
{
|
||||
# Basic SEO
|
||||
'title': 'Page title for <title> tag',
|
||||
'description': 'Meta description',
|
||||
'keywords': 'Comma-separated keywords',
|
||||
'canonical': 'Canonical URL',
|
||||
|
||||
# OpenGraph (Facebook, LinkedIn, Discord)
|
||||
'og:title': 'Title for social sharing',
|
||||
'og:description': 'Description for social cards',
|
||||
'og:type': 'website or article',
|
||||
'og:url': 'Canonical URL',
|
||||
'og:image': 'Dynamic OG image URL',
|
||||
'og:image:width': '1200',
|
||||
'og:image:height': '630',
|
||||
'og:site_name': 'ThrillWiki',
|
||||
'og:locale': 'en_US',
|
||||
|
||||
# Twitter Cards
|
||||
'twitter:card': 'summary_large_image',
|
||||
'twitter:site': '@thrillwiki',
|
||||
'twitter:title': 'Title for Twitter',
|
||||
'twitter:description': 'Description for Twitter',
|
||||
'twitter:image': 'Dynamic OG image URL',
|
||||
}
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
#### Structured Data (JSON-LD):
|
||||
- `SEOTags.structured_data_for_park(park)` - Returns Schema.org TouristAttraction
|
||||
- `SEOTags.structured_data_for_ride(ride)` - Returns Schema.org Product
|
||||
|
||||
---
|
||||
|
||||
### 2. API Endpoints (`api/v1/endpoints/seo.py`)
|
||||
|
||||
Created REST API endpoints for frontend to fetch meta tags:
|
||||
|
||||
#### Meta Tag Endpoints:
|
||||
- `GET /api/v1/seo/meta/home` - Home page meta tags
|
||||
- `GET /api/v1/seo/meta/park/{park_slug}` - Park page meta tags
|
||||
- `GET /api/v1/seo/meta/ride/{park_slug}/{ride_slug}` - Ride page meta tags
|
||||
- `GET /api/v1/seo/meta/company/{company_slug}` - Company page meta tags
|
||||
- `GET /api/v1/seo/meta/ride-model/{model_slug}` - Ride model page meta tags
|
||||
|
||||
#### Structured Data Endpoints:
|
||||
- `GET /api/v1/seo/structured-data/park/{park_slug}` - JSON-LD for parks
|
||||
- `GET /api/v1/seo/structured-data/ride/{park_slug}/{ride_slug}` - JSON-LD for rides
|
||||
|
||||
All endpoints registered in `api/v1/api.py` under `/seo/` route.
|
||||
|
||||
---
|
||||
|
||||
### 3. XML Sitemap (`apps/core/sitemaps.py`)
|
||||
|
||||
Implemented Django sitemaps framework with 5 sitemaps:
|
||||
|
||||
#### Sitemaps Created:
|
||||
1. **ParkSitemap** - All active parks (changefreq: weekly, priority: 0.9)
|
||||
2. **RideSitemap** - All active rides (changefreq: weekly, priority: 0.8)
|
||||
3. **CompanySitemap** - All active companies (changefreq: monthly, priority: 0.6)
|
||||
4. **RideModelSitemap** - All active ride models (changefreq: monthly, priority: 0.7)
|
||||
5. **StaticSitemap** - Static pages (home, about, privacy, terms)
|
||||
|
||||
#### URLs:
|
||||
- Main sitemap: `https://thrillwiki.com/sitemap.xml`
|
||||
- Individual sitemaps automatically generated:
|
||||
- `/sitemap-parks.xml`
|
||||
- `/sitemap-rides.xml`
|
||||
- `/sitemap-companies.xml`
|
||||
- `/sitemap-ride_models.xml`
|
||||
- `/sitemap-static.xml`
|
||||
|
||||
Registered in `config/urls.py` - ready to use!

## 📋 REMAINING WORK
|
||||
|
||||
### Frontend Integration (1.5-2 hours)
|
||||
|
||||
#### Task 1: Create React SEO Component
|
||||
|
||||
**File:** `src/components/seo/MetaTags.tsx`
|
||||
|
||||
```typescript
|
||||
import { Helmet } from 'react-helmet-async';
|
||||
import { useEffect, useState } from 'react';
|
||||
|
||||
interface MetaTagsProps {
|
||||
entityType: 'park' | 'ride' | 'company' | 'ride-model' | 'home';
|
||||
entitySlug?: string;
|
||||
parkSlug?: string; // For rides
|
||||
}
|
||||
|
||||
export function MetaTags({ entityType, entitySlug, parkSlug }: MetaTagsProps) {
|
||||
const [meta, setMeta] = useState<Record<string, string>>({});
|
||||
const [structuredData, setStructuredData] = useState<any>(null);
|
||||
|
||||
useEffect(() => {
|
||||
// Fetch meta tags from Django API
|
||||
const fetchMeta = async () => {
|
||||
let url = `/api/v1/seo/meta/${entityType}`;
|
||||
if (entitySlug) url += `/${entitySlug}`;
|
||||
if (parkSlug) url = `/api/v1/seo/meta/ride/${parkSlug}/${entitySlug}`;
|
||||
|
||||
const response = await fetch(url);
|
||||
const data = await response.json();
|
||||
setMeta(data);
|
||||
|
||||
// Fetch structured data if available
|
||||
if (entityType === 'park' || entityType === 'ride') {
|
||||
let structUrl = `/api/v1/seo/structured-data/${entityType}`;
|
||||
if (entitySlug) structUrl += `/${entitySlug}`;
|
||||
if (parkSlug) structUrl = `/api/v1/seo/structured-data/ride/${parkSlug}/${entitySlug}`;
|
||||
|
||||
const structResponse = await fetch(structUrl);
|
||||
const structData = await structResponse.json();
|
||||
setStructuredData(structData);
|
||||
}
|
||||
};
|
||||
|
||||
fetchMeta();
|
||||
}, [entityType, entitySlug, parkSlug]);
|
||||
|
||||
return (
|
||||
<Helmet>
|
||||
{/* Basic Meta */}
|
||||
<title>{meta.title}</title>
|
||||
<meta name="description" content={meta.description} />
|
||||
<meta name="keywords" content={meta.keywords} />
|
||||
<link rel="canonical" href={meta.canonical} />
|
||||
|
||||
{/* OpenGraph */}
|
||||
<meta property="og:title" content={meta['og:title']} />
|
||||
<meta property="og:description" content={meta['og:description']} />
|
||||
<meta property="og:type" content={meta['og:type']} />
|
||||
<meta property="og:url" content={meta['og:url']} />
|
||||
<meta property="og:image" content={meta['og:image']} />
|
||||
<meta property="og:image:width" content={meta['og:image:width']} />
|
||||
<meta property="og:image:height" content={meta['og:image:height']} />
|
||||
<meta property="og:site_name" content={meta['og:site_name']} />
|
||||
<meta property="og:locale" content={meta['og:locale']} />
|
||||
|
||||
{/* Twitter Card */}
|
||||
<meta name="twitter:card" content={meta['twitter:card']} />
|
||||
<meta name="twitter:site" content={meta['twitter:site']} />
|
||||
<meta name="twitter:title" content={meta['twitter:title']} />
|
||||
<meta name="twitter:description" content={meta['twitter:description']} />
|
||||
<meta name="twitter:image" content={meta['twitter:image']} />
|
||||
|
||||
{/* Structured Data (JSON-LD) */}
|
||||
{structuredData && (
|
||||
<script type="application/ld+json">
|
||||
{JSON.stringify(structuredData)}
|
||||
</script>
|
||||
)}
|
||||
</Helmet>
|
||||
);
|
||||
}
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
#### Task 2: Add to Pages
|
||||
|
||||
```typescript
|
||||
// src/pages/ParkPage.tsx
|
||||
function ParkPage({ parkSlug }: { parkSlug: string }) {
|
||||
return (
|
||||
<>
|
||||
<MetaTags entityType="park" entitySlug={parkSlug} />
|
||||
{/* Rest of page content */}
|
||||
</>
|
||||
);
|
||||
}
|
||||
|
||||
// src/pages/RidePage.tsx
|
||||
function RidePage({ parkSlug, rideSlug }: { parkSlug: string; rideSlug: string }) {
|
||||
return (
|
||||
<>
|
||||
<MetaTags entityType="ride" entitySlug={rideSlug} parkSlug={parkSlug} />
|
||||
{/* Rest of page content */}
|
||||
</>
|
||||
);
|
||||
}
|
||||
|
||||
// src/pages/HomePage.tsx
|
||||
function HomePage() {
|
||||
return (
|
||||
<>
|
||||
<MetaTags entityType="home" />
|
||||
{/* Rest of page content */}
|
||||
</>
|
||||
);
|
||||
}
|
||||
|
||||
// Similar for CompanyPage, RideModelPage, etc.
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
#### Task 3: Install Dependencies
|
||||
|
||||
```bash
|
||||
npm install react-helmet-async
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
Update `src/main.tsx`:
|
||||
```typescript
|
||||
import { HelmetProvider } from 'react-helmet-async';
|
||||
|
||||
ReactDOM.createRoot(document.getElementById('root')!).render(
|
||||
<React.StrictMode>
|
||||
<HelmetProvider>
|
||||
<App />
|
||||
</HelmetProvider>
|
||||
</React.StrictMode>
|
||||
);
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||

|
||||
### Enhanced OG Image Generation (OPTIONAL - 2 hours)
|
||||
|
||||
You already have `api/ssrOG.ts` that generates OG images. To enhance it:
|
||||
|
||||
#### Current State:
|
||||
- Basic OG image generation exists in `/api/ssrOG.ts`
|
||||
- Uses Vercel's `@vercel/og` ImageResponse
|
||||
|
||||
#### Enhancement Options:
|
||||
1. **Option A:** Use existing as-is - it works!
|
||||
2. **Option B:** Enhance layouts based on entity type (park vs ride designs)
|
||||
3. **Option C:** Add dynamic data (ride stats, park info) to images
|
||||
|
||||
**Recommendation:** Use existing implementation. It's functional and generates proper 1200x630 images.
