## What it is
A Jekyll plugin that adds SEO metadata tags to static site pages, including page titles, descriptions, canonical URLs, Open Graph tags, Twitter Card metadata, and JSON-LD structured data. It provides a battle-tested template of crowdsourced SEO best practices so site owners don't have to hand-write meta tags.

## Use cases
- add open graph tags to my jekyll site for facebook and linkedin previews
- generate twitter summary card metadata for my blog posts
- add -ld structured data to a static site
- make my jekyll site pages show proper titles and descriptions in search results
- add canonical urls to paginated pages
- improve how my site's content is indexed by search engines

## When to choose
- you run a Jekyll site and want standard SEO/social meta tags with minimal configuration
- you want Open Graph, Twitter Card, and JSON-LD output following community best practices
- you prefer a simple drop-in plugin over hand-maintaining meta tag templates

## When to avoid
- you need SEO analysis or content optimization suggestions rather than metadata output (use the Jekyll SEO Gem instead)
- you need highly customized or exhaustive meta tag configuration beyond the plugin's opinionated defaults
- your site is not built with Jekyll
