GEO for Contao

Contao serves content server-side and generates sitemap and robots.txt via the page structure settings.

robots.txt and sitemap

Contao generates the robots.txt from the root page settings and embeds the XML sitemaps there. Add additional bot-specific rules via the field for custom robots.txt entries.

Meta details

Title, description and canonical per page in the page settings or via the meta field in the article. The robots tag can be set per page to index/noindex.

Structured data

Since version 4.13, Contao sets JSON-LD for some components (e.g. Faq, HowTo via extensions). Add Organization and Person with sameAs via a custom template or a schema extension.

Testing the result

citeglass fetches your Contao page as a browser and per AI bot and shows rendering, detected schema types and the crawler matrix.
