Statamic + SEO

@jlrdw thanks for your suggestion. I am definitively not a SEO whizz, so not sure if I am doing this correctly.

This is working, and it's providing the categories sitemap and how I've handled this so far, of course I need to add static pages and other collections (I used Jack McDade basic meta options), I am still working on the sitemap, using the following as some guide (https://github.com/spatie/laravel-sitemap) and (https://laravel-news.com/laravel-automatic-sitemap) including the sitemap options...

Any suggestions, or thoughts of maybe improving this setup are greatly appreciated.

title: SEO
fields:
  -
    handle: meta_title
    field:
      type: text
      display: Title
      localizable: false
  -
    handle: meta_description
    field:
      type: textarea
      display: Description
      localizable: false
  -
    handle: meta_keywords
    field:
      type: taggable
      display: Keywords
      localizable: false
  -

The head setup in layout.antlers

 <title>{{ meta_title ?? title }}</title>
        {{ if meta_description }}
        <meta name="description" content="{{ meta_description }}" />
        {{ /if }} {{ if meta_keywords }}
        <meta name="keywords" content="{{ meta_keywords | join(', ') }}" />
        {{ /if }} 

The Sitemap logic that I added in the Controllers folder with the Sitemap fieldset options.
