How to Audit

When the user asks to "audit SEO", "check SEO", or "review SEO" — run the checklist below against their codebase.

Audit Step 1: Determine Scope

If arguments provided ($ARGUMENTS): audit only those pages or files
If no arguments: audit all pages and layouts in the codebase

Audit Step 2: Detect Project Type

Use the detection logic in "Step 1: Detect Project Type" below to determine Laravel Blade vs Laravel + Inertia + React.

Audit Step 3: Run SEO Checklist

Work through every item below. For each, output:

PASS — brief confirmation of what was verified
FAIL — exact file:line, description of the issue, and fix recommendation
N/A — if the check does not apply to this project

Core Web Vitals

Hero/above-the-fold images use fetchpriority="high" and are preloaded (LCP < 2.5s)
No long-running JavaScript tasks blocking interaction (INP < 200ms)
All images and embeds have explicit width/height attributes (CLS < 0.1)
No dynamically injected content that shifts layout without reserved space

Technical SEO

Every page has a unique <title> tag (50-60 characters)
Every page has a <meta name="description"> (150-160 characters)
Every page has a <link rel="canonical"> pointing to the correct URL
robots.txt exists and does not block important pages
XML sitemap exists and includes all indexable pages
URLs are clean, lowercase, hyphenated — no query params for indexable pages

On-Page SEO

One <h1> per page containing the primary keyword
Heading hierarchy is sequential (h1 → h2 → h3) — no skipped levels
Images have descriptive alt text (not empty, not "image", not filename)
Internal links use descriptive anchor text (not "click here")
Semantic HTML used (<article>, <section>, <nav>, <main>)

Structured Data

JSON-LD structured data present on key pages (Article, Product, FAQ, BreadcrumbList)
JSON-LD uses @graph when combining multiple schema types
Structured data validates with Google Rich Results Test (no errors)
Organization/WebSite schema present on homepage

Performance SEO

Images use modern formats (WebP/AVIF) with fallbacks
Below-the-fold images use loading="lazy"
Fonts use font-display: swap or optional
Critical resources use <link rel="preconnect"> or <link rel="preload">

Social Sharing

Open Graph tags present (og:title, og:description, og:image, og:url, og:type)
og:image is at least 1200x630px
Twitter Card tags present (twitter:card, at minimum summary_large_image)

React/SPA SEO (if applicable)

SSR or SSG configured for indexable pages — not client-side only
Meta tags update on route change (via <Head> component or equivalent)
head-key attribute used to prevent duplicate meta tags (Inertia.js)

Mobile-First

<meta name="viewport" content="width=device-width, initial-scale=1"> present
Content parity between mobile and desktop (no hidden content)
Touch targets are at least 48x48px with adequate spacing

Audit Step 4: Summary

End the audit with:

## SEO Audit Summary
- **PASS**: X checks
- **FAIL**: X checks
- **N/A**: X checks
- **Top Priority Fixes**: (list the 3 most impactful FAIL items)

When to Apply

Reference these guidelines when:

Running an SEO audit on a codebase
Adding meta tags (<title>, description, canonical, robots)
Implementing structured data (JSON-LD / Schema.org)
Optimizing Core Web Vitals (LCP, INP, CLS)
Setting up Open Graph and Twitter Card meta tags
Creating sitemaps and robots.txt
Building SEO-friendly React SPAs
Configuring Laravel SEO middleware and packages
Optimizing images, fonts, and loading performance for search

Step 1: Detect Project Type

Always check the project stack before giving advice. Different stacks need different SEO approaches.

Check package.json and project structure:

Signal	Project Type
`@inertiajs/react` in dependencies	Laravel + Inertia + React
`resources/views/*/.blade.php` only (no React)	Laravel Blade (server-rendered)

If Laravel Blade: Apply tech-, onpage-, schema-, perf-, social-, mobile- rules. Meta tags go in Blade layouts. Sitemaps via spatie/laravel-sitemap. Skip spa- rules — pages are already server-rendered.

If Laravel + Inertia + React: Apply all rules. Meta tags via @inertiaHead in Blade layout + <Head> component from @inertiajs/react in React pages. For SSR, create resources/js/ssr.jsx using createServer from @inertiajs/react/server, add ssr: 'resources/js/ssr.jsx' to Vite config, build with vite build && vite build --ssr, and run php artisan inertia:start-ssr. Use head-key attribute on meta tags to prevent duplicates between layout and page. Focus on schema-, social-, and perf- rules.

Rule Categories by Priority

Priority	Category	Impact	Prefix
1	Core Web Vitals	CRITICAL	`cwv-`
2	Technical SEO	CRITICAL	`tech-`
3	On-Page SEO	HIGH	`onpage-`
4	Structured Data	HIGH	`schema-`
5	Performance SEO	HIGH	`perf-`
6	Social Sharing	HIGH	`social-`

Essential Patterns

Meta Tags (HTML)

<head>
  <meta charset="utf-8" />
  <meta name="viewport" content="width=device-width, initial-scale=1" />
  <title>Page Title — Site Name</title>
  <meta name="description" content="Concise 150-160 character description of page content." />
  <link rel="canonical" href="https://example.com/page" />

  <!-- Open Graph -->
  <meta property="og:title" content="Page Title" />
  <meta property="og:description" content="Description for social sharing." />
  <meta property="og:image" content="https://example.com/og-image.jpg" />
  <meta property="og:url" content="https://example.com/page" />
  <meta property="og:type" content="website" />

  <!-- Twitter Card -->
  <meta name="twitter:card" content="summary_large_image" />
</head>

JSON-LD Structured Data

<script type="application/ld+json">
{
  "@context": "https://schema.org",
  "@type": "Article",
  "headline": "Article Title",
  "author": {
    "@type": "Person",
    "name": "Author Name"
  },
  "datePublished": "2026-03-14",
  "dateModified": "2026-03-14",
  "image": "https://example.com/article-image.jpg",
  "publisher": {
    "@type": "Organization",
    "name": "Site Name",
    "logo": {
      "@type": "ImageObject",
      "url": "https://example.com/logo.png"
    }
  }
}
</script>

React Meta Management (Inertia.js)

import { Head } from '@inertiajs/react'

interface Post {
  title: string;
  slug: string;
  excerpt: string;
  image: string;
}

function BlogPost({ post }: { post: Post }) {
  return (
    <>
      <Head>
        <title>{post.title} — Blog</title>
        <meta head-key="description" name="description" content={post.excerpt} />
        <link rel="canonical" href={`https://example.com/blog/${post.slug}`} />
        <meta property="og:title" content={post.title} />
        <meta property="og:description" content={post.excerpt} />
        <meta property="og:image" content={post.image} />
        <meta property="og:type" content="article" />
        <meta name="twitter:card" content="summary_large_image" />
      </Head>
      <article>{/* content */}</article>
    </>
  )
}

Core Web Vitals Quick Checks

LCP  < 2.5s   Preload hero image, use fetchpriority="high"
INP  < 200ms  Break long tasks, yield to main thread
CLS  < 0.1    Set width/height on images, reserve space for dynamic content

Image Optimization

<!-- Modern formats with fallback -->
<picture>
  <source srcset="hero.avif" type="image/avif" />
  <source srcset="hero.webp" type="image/webp" />
  <img
    src="hero.jpg"
    alt="Descriptive alt text for the image"
    width="1200"
    height="630"
    fetchpriority="high"
  />
</picture>

<!-- Responsive images -->
<img
  srcset="photo-400.webp 400w, photo-800.webp 800w, photo-1200.webp 1200w"
  sizes="(max-width: 600px) 400px, (max-width: 900px) 800px, 1200px"
  src="photo-800.webp"
  alt="Descriptive alt text"
  width="1200"
  height="800"
  loading="lazy"
/>
