AI-generated answers based on this skill's SKILL.md and metadata
How do hreflang tags work for multilingual sites?
page-metadata enables you to implement hreflang tags that signal language and regional variants to search engines. These tags tell search engines which page version targets which language or region, ensuring users see the correct localized content and preventing duplicate content penalties across your multilingual property.
What's the difference between meta robots and robots.txt?
page-metadata handles meta robots directives—page-level instructions placed in HTML that control indexing and following behavior for individual pages. robots.txt is a site-level file that manages crawler access to entire directories. Meta robots offers finer per-page control; robots.txt manages crawl budget and access permissions globally.
How do I configure meta robots noindex and nofollow?
page-metadata lets you configure meta robots directives to control page indexing. Use noindex to prevent search engines from indexing specific pages, and nofollow to block link following. These directives apply only to the page where they're placed, making them ideal for excluding staging, duplicate, or sensitive pages from search results.
Why is the viewport meta tag important for mobile?
page-metadata ensures your viewport meta tag is properly configured for mobile responsiveness. The viewport tag tells browsers how to scale and render your page on mobile devices. Without it, mobile users see a zoomed-out desktop view. Proper viewport settings improve user experience and support mobile-first indexing by search engines.
How should hreflang tags align with canonical tags?
page-metadata helps you maintain alignment between hreflang and canonical tags. Use hreflang to point to language/regional variants and canonical to indicate the preferred version within each variant. Misalignment—such as a page's canonical pointing to a different language version—confuses search engines and weakens multilingual SEO performance.
What metadata should I verify across all site pages?
page-metadata supports verification of metadata completeness across your site. Check that charset (UTF-8), viewport, hreflang tags (for multilingual sites), meta robots directives, and title/description tags are present and correct on every page. Incomplete or inconsistent metadata across pages undermines SEO performance and user experience.
