fixing-metadata

Workflow

1. Identify pages with missing or incorrect metadata (titles, descriptions, canonical, OG tags)
2. Audit against the priority rules below — fix critical issues (duplicates, indexing) first
3. Ensure title, description, canonical, and og:url all agree with each other
4. Verify social cards render correctly on a real URL, not localhost
5. Keep diffs minimal and scoped to metadata only — do not refactor unrelated code

When to Use

Reference these guidelines when:

• adding or changing page titles, descriptions, canonical, robots
• implementing Open Graph or Twitter card metadata
• setting favicons, app icons, manifest, theme-color
• building shared SEO components or layout metadata defaults
• adding structured data (JSON-LD)
• changing locale, alternate languages, or canonical routing
• shipping new pages, marketing pages, or shareable links
