SEO Audit System v1 Summary

Changed Areas

Added shared SEO support under app/Support/Seo/
Added shared Blade SEO renderer in resources/views/partials/seo/head.blade.php
Added shared Inertia SEO renderer in resources/js/components/seo/SeoHead.jsx
Updated layout integration in resources/views/layouts/nova.blade.php and resources/views/layouts/_legacy.blade.php
Wired major public controllers and views across homepage, artworks, browse/discover, categories, tags, profiles, collections, leaderboard, blog, stories, news, Nova Cards, community/gallery pages, and static/footer pages
Added and updated feature tests for key public SEO surfaces

Controllers and pages can pass a normalized seo payload explicitly
Blade layouts can also normalize legacy page_* and meta.* data through SeoFactory::fromViewData()
useUnifiedSeo is the opt-in switch for the shared renderer
JSON-LD, Open Graph, Twitter tags, canonical tags, robots, breadcrumbs, and optional keywords are emitted from one place

Explicitly covered or normalized through the shared system:

Homepage
Artwork detail pages
Explore / browse / discover pages
Category pages
Tag pages
Creator / profile pages
Collection listing and collection detail pages
Leaderboard pages
Blog pages
Stories pages
News pages
Public Nova Cards pages
FAQ, rules, privacy, terms, about/help/contact/legal, staff, RSS feeds, and other public static/footer pages
Community / gallery-style public pages such as latest uploads, featured artworks, member photos, downloads today, comments latest, and monthly commentators

Title and description generation is page-type-aware where the app has a dedicated resolver
Legacy pages still normalize cleanly through fallback mapping of page_title, page_meta_description, page_canonical, page_robots, and meta.*
Canonicals are generated with Laravel route and URL helpers rather than hardcoded hosts
Open Graph and Twitter tags are standardized through the shared renderer
Fallback OG images resolve from page data first, then from configured defaults
Search and low-value pages can be marked noindex through the same DTO/builder contract

JSON-LD is emitted centrally and currently supports the main public shapes used by the site:

Schema is added only where it matches visible page content.

Public canonical pages default to index,follow
Search and similar low-value surfaces can be marked noindex through the shared builder
Private/internal pages remain outside the shared public SEO rollout
The system is structured to align with future sitemap generation through canonical/indexable page types

Added BreadcrumbTrail normalization
Removed duplicate Home > Home style breadcrumb issues
Ensured breadcrumb JSON-LD is emitted once through the shared renderer when breadcrumbs exist

Key coverage includes:

These tests cover canonical tags, JSON-LD, OG output, no-duplicate-head regressions, and core public page availability.

Add a formal sitemap generator built directly from the canonical/indexable page-type contract
Expand explicit page-type resolver methods for the remaining lower-value legacy pages that still rely on fallback normalization
Add broader page-family assertions for static pages, news/tag/category pages, and community gallery pages
Add snapshot-style tests for the shared head output if head regressions become frequent
Consider central reporting for pages with fallback-only metadata so future migrations are easier to track
