Mastering SEO in Next.js

(This is an h1 — the top-level heading)

Welcome to this guide on Next.js SEO. We’ll cover metadata, links, code, and more.
This paragraph uses bold and italics.


Why SEO Matters

Search Engine Optimization determines how easily your site is found online.

Without it:

  • Your content might not appear in search results.
  • Competitors with weaker apps but better SEO can outrank you.
  • You’ll lose organic traffic.

With it: ✅ higher rankings, ✅ more credibility, ✅ greater visibility.


Metadata Basics

Next.js lets you configure metadata directly in your pages.

Internal Links

Check out the home page or jump directly to the Pro Tips.
For external references, here’s a link to Next.js Docs.


Lists in Markdown

Unordered lists use dashes:

  • Easy to learn
  • Fast to write
  • Works everywhere

Ordered lists use numbers:

  1. First step
  2. Second step
  3. Third step

Code Examples

Inline code looks like this: npm run dev.

Block code uses triple backticks:

tsx
export async function generateMetadata() {
  return {
    title: "My SEO Page",
    description: "Metadata demo",
  };
}
