Yoast SEO Product Sheet Progress for the Neos CMS integration

This list is based on the requirements of the official Yoast SEO product sheet.

Yoast SEO: general specification

Technical SEO (out of the box)

Some things need to work out of the box when the module is enabled.

  • The site needs to have pretty permalinks. System permalinks should refer to their human readable equivalents through canonicals.
    • provided by Neos core
  • Every page needs to have a rel="canonical" that defaults to its generated pretty url. See rel=canonical: the ultimate guide on Yoast.com.
    • provided by the Neos.SEO package
  • The site needs to handle paginated content well. Paginated content should have rel="next" and/or rel="prev" tags. See Google's documentation on paginated content.
    • Neos does not have a default system for this and integrators need to provided that. Therefore this needs to be solved via documentation and a helper for now.
  • Searchresults and archive pages that should be public should have meta robots tags noindex, follow.
    • Neos does not have a default system for this and integrators need to provided that. Therefore this needs to be solved via documentation for now.
  • Category pages which are paginated should index all pages in the series (previous advice suggested that only the first page should be indexed).
    • Neos does not have a default system for this and integrators need to provided that. Therefore this needs to be solved via documentation and a helper for now.

Onpage SEO and content analysis

For onpage SEO two sides should be covered:

  • On the technical side, SEO metadata needs to be included in the head of every page. This also includes social metadata like OpenGraph and Twitter metadata.
    • provided by the Neos.SEO package
  • On the content side, the user should be able to optimize content for SEO. For this we have built a fully client side content analysis tool.
    • provided by the Yoast SEO package for Neos
