Than start up your Plone site and open it on localhost:8080 in your browser. Log into your site and and click on the user symbol on the bottom left of the page. Choose Site Setup there. Now go to Add-ons and click Install at kitconcept.seo.

Enable the SEO behavior

To enable the SEO tab for a specific content type you have to enable the kitconcept.seo behavior. Go to the page setup and then to the Dexterity Content Types control panel. Choose the content type you want to enable SEO for and enable the kitconcept.seo behavior.

Enable the SEO behavior programmatically

Enable the kitconcept.seo behavior by adding the behavior to the Factory Type Information (FTI) of your type in your generic setup profile. E.g. to enable SEO for the document type, drop a Document.xml file into the profiles/default/types folder of your add-on product with the following content:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<object name="Document" meta_type="Dexterity FTI" i18n:domain="plone"
  xmlns:i18n="http://xml.zope.org/namespaces/i18n">
  <property name="behaviors" purge="False">
    <element value="kitconcept.seo" />
  </property>
</object>

Add to Volto site

To add kitconcept.seo to your Volto page you need to edit the component you want to use it for. If you want use it for your whole page you can use it in the View.jsx (see here for further information on editing views in Volto). First you have to define the PropTypes for the seo elements by adding:

seo_title: PropTypes.string,
seo_description: PropTypes.string,

… to the PropTypes of the component.

Than you use React-Helmet to set the title and description of the component. So import React-Helmet with:

import Helmet from 'react-helmet';

And finally add this to the jsx code of your component:

<Helmet
       title={
         this.props.content.seo_title
           ? this.props.content.seo_title
           : this.props.content.title
       }
       meta={
         this.props.content.seo_description
           ? [
               {
                 name: 'description',
                 content: this.props.content.seo_description,
               },
             ]
           : [
               {
                 name: 'description',
                 content: this.props.content.description,
               },
             ]
       }
       bodyAttributes={{
         class: `view-${viewName.toLowerCase()}`,
       }}
     />

Usage in Volto
