The Aura Plugin for Grav CMS adds meta tags and structured data to your pages for visually appealing and informative search results and social media sharing.
- Minimal configuration required to automatically inject a wealth of structured/meta data into all pages of your site.
- Supports the following standards and protocols:
- Schema.org structured data ld+json code snippet as used by major search providers Google, Microsoft, Yahoo! and Yandex
- Open Graph meta tags as used by social platforms Facebook and Pinterest
- Twitter Card meta tags
- LinkedIn Article meta tags
It is recommended to install Aura directly through the Admin Plugin by browsing to the Plugins tab and selecting Add.
You can configure Aura via the Admin Plugin by browsing to Plugins and selecting Aura.
There are only two required fields to complete to get up and running: Organization Name and URL. However the more information you can provide, the richer your shared content will be.
Global settings are configured at the plugin level as described above. These values are constant for each page of your site e.g. Oranization name, logo and social account details.
There is an additional configuration tab titled Aura available on each page in the page editor. This is where to set page specific information such as the meta description. Other than meta description, data required at a page level (URL, title etc.) will be automatically inferred from Grav's internal system settings.
