Prerequisites

• Node.js installed on your machine

Environment Setup

First, set up your SEObot API Key environment variable. Create a .env.local file for local development:

SEOBOT_API_KEY=<your_seobot_key>

⚠️ You can use following DEMO SEOBOT_API_KEY for local development:

SEOBOT_API_KEY=a8c58738-7b98-4597-b20a-0bb1c2fe5772

Running the Development Server

npm install
# or
yarn install
# or
pnpm install

2. Execute one of the following commands to start the development server:

npm run dev
# or
yarn dev
# or
pnpm dev

Once the server is running, navigate to http://localhost:3000/blog in your browser to view the application.

API client library

This project incorporates the SEObot Blog API Client Library. For more details and to install the npm package, visit seobot on npmjs.

Editing the Blog Design

You can begin customizing your blog design by editing the files under the app/blog/ route. Your changes will be automatically reflected in the app thanks to Next.js's hot reloading feature.

Sitemap Configuration for SEO

Automatic Integration

This project comes with a separate blog/sitemap.xml generated dynamically. If you have an existing dynamic sitemap, you can programmatically merge the blog sitemap into it. The exact steps depend on how you're generating your main sitemap, but the goal is to combine them seamlessly.

Standalone Blog Sitemap

If you prefer not to merge, it's crucial to submit the standalone blog/sitemap.xml to your Google Search Console for SEO.

• Open Google Search Console.
• Select 'Sitemaps' from the menu.
• Enter the URL of your blog/sitemap.xml.
• Click 'Submit'.

⚠️ Google Limits: keep this in mind that Google restricts sitemaps to 50,000 URLs and a file size of up to 50MB.
