Overview
Laravel SEO Checklist is useful when you need a clear way to separate cosmetic SEO work from issues that can block crawling, indexing, rankings, or search snippets. Start with evidence, then decide what deserves engineering time.
Use an automated audit to collect the baseline, then review the page manually for context, search intent, and business priority.
Why it matters
The most common problems usually sit around server rendering, routes, canonical URLs, sitemaps. These signals influence how easily search engines discover pages, understand content, and trust the final URL they should rank.
A good SEO workflow turns these checks into a short fix list with owner, impact, effort, and validation steps.
What to check
- Review server rendering and record the current state, expected state, and exact URL affected.
- Review routes and record the current state, expected state, and exact URL affected.
- Review canonical URLs and record the current state, expected state, and exact URL affected.
- Review sitemaps and record the current state, expected state, and exact URL affected.
Common mistakes
