SEO metadata basics

Title, description, canonical, hreflang and structured data should be managed systematically.

Metadata is operational data

SEO metadata should not be a final manual cleanup. Each page needs title, description, share image, canonical, hreflang and suitable schema inside the CMS or layout.

SEO metadata, canonical, hreflang, schema and social preview illustration — Good metadata helps crawlers understand the right page and language.

Bilingual pages need correct hreflang

For Web Delivery Lab, Vietnamese is the source language and English is the translation. Each resource article needs a matching version so the switcher, canonical and sitemap stay aligned.

CMS managing bilingual content and metadata — The CMS should show content status by locale.

Fast checklist

Titles should not duplicate across pages.
Descriptions should describe the page without keyword stuffing.
Canonical should point to the real rendered URL.
Hreflang should include vi/en and x-default.
Structured data should match the page type.
