# TanStack SEO
Complete SEO implementation for TanStack Router / TanStack Start projects. Nine layers covering crawlability, social sharing, structured data, and AI discoverability.
## Dependencies
```bash
# OG image generation (server-side only)
bun add satori @resvg/resvg-js
```
No other SEO-specific dependencies. Everything uses TanStack Router's built-in `head()` API and server route handlers.
## Architecture
```

```
## Setup Workflow
### 1. Create Brand Config
Create `src/lib/brand/index.ts`:
```typescript
export const brand = {
name: "Your App",
shortName: "App",
description: "Your app description for SEO.",
author: { name: "Your Name", url: "https://yoursite.com" },
social: { twitter: "@yourhandle", github: "https://github.com/you/repo" },
keywords: ["keyword1", "keyword2", "keyword3"],
} as const;
```
### 2. Create SEO Utility
See [references/seo-utilities.md](references/seo-utilities.md) for the complete `src/lib/seo.ts`. Provides:
- `siteConfig` — centralized site metadata
- `getAbsoluteUrl()` / `getCanonicalUrl()` — URL helpers
- `getOGImageUrl(title, description?)` — builds dynamic OG image URLs
- `generateMetaTags(seo)` — OG + Twitter + robots + keywords meta array
- `generateHead(seo)` — meta + canonical link tags (used in every route)
- Six JSON-LD generators: Organization, WebSite, Article, Breadcrumb, FAQ, Software
### 3. Create OG Image Generator
See [references/og-image.md](references/og-image.md) for:
- `src/lib/og-image.tsx` — Satori + Resvg engine with Google Fonts
- `src/routes/og[.]png.ts` — server route handler
### 4. Create Server Routes + Static Files
See [references/server-routes.md](references/server-routes.md) for:
- Dynamic sitemap at `/sitemap.xml`
- `robots.txt` (static in `public/`)
- `llms.txt` and `llms-full.txt` for AI crawlers
- `site.webmanifest` for PWA
### 5. Wire Up Root Layout + Per-Route Heads
See [references/route-patterns.md](references/route-patterns.md) for:
- `__root.tsx` head: charset, viewport, favicons, manifest, default OG/Twitter, site-wide JSON-LD
- Three per-route patterns: static pages, pages with custom OG, dynamic pages (blog/docs)
## Key Conventions
- **Filename escaping**: `[.]` escapes dots. `og[.]png.ts` → `/og.png`, `sitemap[.]xml.ts` → `/sitemap.xml`.
- **Title suffixing**: `generateMetaTags()` auto-appends `| Site Name` to titles that don't already include it.
- **Cache headers**: OG images 24h, sitemaps 1h, llms.txt 24h.
- **Server handlers**: Non-HTML routes (PNG, XML, plaintext) use `server.handlers.GET` with no React component.
- **`<html lang="en">`**: Set in the root layout.
