Getting Started with Astro SEO Theme

Welcome to Astro SEO Theme — the ultimate open-source Astro template built specifically for B2B and SaaS marketing websites. This guide will walk you through setup, configuration, and your first deployment.

What Makes This Theme Different?

Unlike other Astro themes that treat SEO as an afterthought, this theme was architectured from the ground up with three pillars:

1. Technical SEO: Automatic JSON-LD, dynamic meta tags, sitemap, canonical URLs, and hreflang support.
2. GEO (Generative Engine Optimization): Structured content that AI search engines can parse, cite, and recommend.
3. AEO (Answer Engine Optimization): Content formatting optimized for Featured Snippets and zero-click results.

Install the theme and start developing in under a minute:

# Clone the repository
git clone https://github.com/druedaro/astro-seo-theme.git
cd astro-seo-theme

Your site will be running at http://localhost:4321.
