## Install Nuxt SEO Alias

The `@nuxtjs/seo` module is an alias module that bundles the core SEO modules into a single installation.

::module-install{name="@nuxtjs/seo"}
::

## Which package should I install?

Use `@nuxtjs/seo` for new projects when you want the standard SEO stack: Sitemap, Robots, OG Image, [Schema.org](http://Schema.org), Link Checker, SEO Utils, and Site Config.

Install individual modules only when you want a smaller dependency set or need to pin module versions yourself.

Upgrading an existing project? Check the [Updating Modules](/docs/nuxt-seo/guides/updating-modules) guide first, then follow the relevant [migration guide](/docs/nuxt-seo/migration-guide/v4-to-v5) if you are crossing a major version.

::tip
Generate an Agent Skill for this package using [skilld](https://github.com/harlan-zw/skilld):

```bash
npx skilld add @nuxtjs/seo
```
::

### Install Modules Individually

If you only need specific modules or want version pinning control, install them separately. Each module works independently and you can mix and match as needed.

::note{icon="i-heroicons-information-circle"}
`nuxt-site-config` installs automatically with any SEO module. You do not need to add it manually.
::

::all-modules
::

### Standalone Modules

`@nuxtjs/seo` does not include these modules, but you can install them alongside it or on their own.

**Skew Protection**: solve Nuxt version skews with persistent assets and instant updates.

::module-install{name="nuxt-skew-protection"}
::

See the [Skew Protection docs](/docs/skew-protection/getting-started/introduction) for configuration options.

**AI Ready**: best practice AI & LLM discoverability for Nuxt sites. Generates `llms.txt`, `llms-full.txt`, and `robots.txt` AI directives.

::module-install{name="nuxt-ai-ready"}
::

See the [AI Ready docs](/docs/ai-ready/getting-started/introduction) for configuration options.
