## Introduction

The [`useSeoMeta()`](https://nuxt.com/docs/api/composables/use-seo-meta#useseometa) composable is a powerful tool for managing SEO meta tags.

Nuxt SEO Utils allows you to provide the `useSeoMeta()` input within your `nuxt.config`.

### Available Properties

For a complete list of all available SEO meta properties, see the [Nuxt `useSeoMeta()` documentation](https://nuxt.com/docs/api/composables/use-seo-meta#parameters).

Common properties include:

**Basic SEO:**

- `title` - Page title
- `description` - Page description
- `keywords` - Page keywords
- `author` - Content author
- `robots` - Robot crawling instructions
- `canonical` - Canonical URL (set to `false` to disable)

**Open Graph (Facebook/Social):**

- `ogTitle` - Open Graph title
- `ogDescription` - Open Graph description
- `ogImage` - Open Graph image URL
- `ogUrl` - Open Graph URL
- `ogType` - Open Graph type (e.g., 'website', 'article')
- `ogSiteName` - Site name
- `ogLocale` - Locale (e.g., 'en_US')

**Twitter Card:**

- `twitterCard` - Twitter card type (e.g., 'summary_large_image')
- `twitterSite` - Twitter site handle
- `twitterCreator` - Twitter creator handle
- `twitterTitle` - Twitter title
- `twitterDescription` - Twitter description
- `twitterImage` - Twitter image URL

**App & Mobile:**

- `applicationName` - Application name
- `themeColor` - Theme color (can be array with media queries)
- `colorScheme` - Color scheme support (e.g., 'dark light')
- `viewport` - Viewport settings

**Advanced:**

<callout type="info">

`fallbackTitle` is a top-level module option (`seo.fallbackTitle`), not a `seo.meta` property. See the [Fallback Title](/docs/seo-utils/guides/fallback-title) guide.

</callout>

## Usage

To use it, simply add within the `seo.meta` config of your `nuxt.config`:

```ts [nuxt.config.ts]
export default defineNuxtConfig({
  seo: {
    meta: {
      // Basic SEO
      description: 'My awesome website',
      author: 'Harlan Wilton',

      // Theme & Color
      themeColor: [
        { content: '#18181b', media: '(prefers-color-scheme: dark)' },
        { content: 'white', media: '(prefers-color-scheme: light)' },
      ],
      colorScheme: 'dark light',

      // Social Media
      twitterCreator: '@mytwitter',
      twitterSite: '@mysite',

      // App Info
      applicationName: 'My App',

      // Nuxt SEO Utils already sets the below tags for you
      ogSiteName: 'My Site Name',
      ogLocale: 'en_US',
      ogType: 'website',
      ogUrl: 'https://example.com',
      ogTitle: 'My Site',

      // Other Nuxt SEO modules handle these
      ogImage: 'https://example.com/my-og-image.png',
      robots: 'index, follow',
    }
  },
})
```

The functionality is the same as the composable without reactivity. It has a higher priority than `app.head`.

These settings provide **site-wide defaults**. You can override them on individual pages using the `useSeoMeta()` composable.
