«SEO - meta» — meta tags, H1, canonical address, and SEO texts for website pages

What this solution does

The Seo2You:SeoMeta module enables management of meta tags, H1 headings, canonical addresses, and SEO texts on any website page within a minute without developer involvement. The solution supports PHP 8.2 and higher. The functionality binds meta data to specific addresses, covering static pages, sections, information block elements, filter results, and landing pages with GET parameters. If a rule is configured for an address, the specified values will appear on the page even if the standard component attempts to insert its own data.

The module provides full control over page meta data. Users can set the Title for the browser tab and search snippet, as well as the Description and Keywords. The H1 heading is configurable independently of the component output. Robots directives, including index/follow, noindex, and any other rules for a specific address, are available for indexing management. The canonical address is enabled via a simple toggle in the rule settings.

The module includes functionality for three SEO texts using a visual editor. Special markers seo_text1, seo_text2, and seo_text3 are placed in the template at any location to designate where these texts should appear. Content is filled through the administrative panel without modifying the layout code. There is no 65,000-character limit for long texts.

Import and export operations are supported for csv, xls, and xlsx formats. The process utilizes a step-by-step wizard with a progress bar, allowing files containing tens of thousands of rows to be processed without exceeding the script execution time limit.

File encoding is detected automatically, including support for exports from Windows in CP-1251. If needed, it can be changed manually using a live preview.

Columns are matched to fields automatically based on the header row; this can be adjusted manually if required.

Handling of duplicates and the default site selection are configured separately.

All errors are logged in a separate file, showing exactly which row failed and the reason.

The export generates a file ready for re-upload without any modifications. This supports an efficient workflow: export data, send it to an SEO specialist for editing in Excel, and then upload it back.

Import of xls and xlsx files requires the XMLReader extension.

Working with GET parameters and UTM tags

The list of ignored parameters with masks is pre-filled by default and includes utm_*, gclid, yclid, fbclid, _openstat, roistat. Advertising traffic does not disrupt rule matching.

Each rule has its own option labeled "Apply with GET parameters." Enable it if you need a general rule for all filter variants; disable it if you require separate meta tags for a specific parameter such as sort=price. The module automatically resolves conflicts between such rules, giving priority to exact matches.

The module supports multi-site and multi-regional configurations. A rule is bound to a specific site, while the domain name is stored in a separate field. If multiple domains point to the same site, unique meta-data can be configured for each domain; switching modes does not invalidate previously created rules.

Page number postfix feature. Duplicate titles on the second and third listing pages are a common indexing issue. Enabling the option and using a template such as «— Page #PAGE#» ensures automatic numbering across the entire site, including pages where the module does not manage meta-tags.

Composite site support. Meta-data is written to the composite's static content. When a rule is saved, deleted, or disabled, the static version of the page is updated immediately. This ensures that search robots and SEO checkers do not continue to see outdated data.

Access rights management by user groups. Three levels are available: no access, view-only, and full access. This allows an SEO contractor to be granted view and export permissions without enabling editing rights.

Global switch. A single checkbox in the settings disables all meta-data substitution. If an issue occurs on the site, this allows the module to be ruled out as the cause within seconds, rather than spending an hour on diagnostics.
