# 19. SEO Mastery: Dynamic Metadata, OpenGraph Image Generation (ImageResponse) & Sitemap

> Next.js 14+ Notes by Rishabh - Topic 19

### 1. Dynamic Metadata API (`generateMetadata`) 🔍

Googlebot aur Social Media crawlers ke liye dynamic SEO tags generate karna:

```tsx
// app/blog/[slug]/page.tsx
import { Metadata } from "next";

export async function generateMetadata({ params }: { params: { slug: string } }): Promise<Metadata> {
    const post = await fetchPost(params.slug);

return {
        title: `${post.title} | Rishabh Kaksha`,
        description: post.summary,
        openGraph: {
            title: post.title,
            description: post.summary,
            images: [`/blog/${params.slug}/opengraph-image`],
            type: "article",
            publishedTime: post.publishedAt
        },
        twitter: {
            card: "summary_large_image",
            creator: "@rishabh"
        }
    };
}
```

### 2. Automated Dynamic OpenGraph Images (`ImageResponse` with JSX) 🖼️

Next.js server par direct JSX/HTML se **dynamically 1200x630 Social Card PNG generate karta hai:**

```tsx
// app/blog/[slug]/opengraph-image.tsx
import { ImageResponse } from "next/og";

export const runtime = "edge";
export const size = { width: 1200, height: 630 };

export default async function Image({ params }: { params: { slug: string } }) {
    const post = await fetchPost(params.slug);

return new ImageResponse(
        (
            <div style={{ background: "linear-gradient(to right, #0f172a, #1e293b)", width: "100%", height: "100%", display: "flex", flexDirection: "column", padding: "60px", color: "white" }}>
                <div style={{ fontSize: 32, color: "#38bdf8" }}>Rishabh Ki Kaksha 🚀</div>
                <div style={{ fontSize: 56, fontWeight: "bold", marginTop: 40 }}>{post.title}</div>
            </div>
        ),
        { ...size }
    );
}
```

### 3. Dynamic XML Sitemap (`app/sitemap.ts`)

```typescript
// app/sitemap.ts
import { MetadataRoute } from "next";

export default async function sitemap(): Promise<MetadataRoute.Sitemap> {
    const posts = await db.posts.findMany();

const postUrls = posts.map(p => ({
        url: `https://rishabhkikaksha.boostengine.in/blog/${p.slug}`,
        lastModified: p.updatedAt,
        changeFrequency: "weekly" as const,
        priority: 0.8
    }));

return [{ url: "https://rishabhkikaksha.boostengine.in", priority: 1.0 }, ...postUrls];
}
```

### 4. Master Comparison Matrix

---

### 5. Interview Ke 3 Sawal Is Topic Se

1. **`generateMetadata` me fetch call karne par kya database request duplicate hoti hai?** -> Bilkul nahi! Next.js ka Request Memoization layer exact same fetch request ko deduplicate karke single database query me execute karta hai.
2. **`robots.ts` file Next.js me kya karti hai?** -> Googlebot ke crawling rules aur sitemap XML URL specify karne ke liye `robots.txt` dynamically render karti hai.
3. **Canonical tags Next.js metadata me kyu specify kiye jaate hain?** -> Duplicate content penalties se bachne ke liye taaki search engines ko pata chale ki authoritative primary URL kaunsa hai.
