Should I use the Next.js Metadata API or a custom head?

Use the Metadata API — it composes across nested layouts, dedupes the head, and handles canonical / alternates cleanly.

Do AI answer engines execute JavaScript on Next.js pages?

Some do, most do not. Server-render the answer paragraph and JSON-LD so the content is in the initial HTML.

What is the ideal caching strategy for Next.js SEO?

Static generation for stable pages, ISR with a revalidate matching your update cadence for dynamic content, and cache-control tuning for the rest.

Audit a Next.js site for AI answer engines

Auditing Next.js for AI answer engines is a three-layer job: on-page structure, structured data (emit article / product json-ld from server components), and answer-first copy. Get those right on the react framework platform and Perplexity, ChatGPT, and Google AI Overviews can extract, understand, and cite your pages.

Что покрывает этот аудит на Next.js

Категория	React framework
Примеры поисковых намерений	audit nextjs for ai search; nextjs metadata api seo checklist; nextjs jsonld structured data server component
Рекомендации по трекингу позиций	Split rank tracking by route type — docs, blog, landing, and product pages behave differently. Track the head term per route plus its top long-tails, and watch AI citation share separately per type.

On-page

On-page-проверки

Set title + description via the Metadata API. Use generateMetadata in every route to emit an intent-matching title under 60 characters and a description under 155.
Single H1 per route. React makes it easy to stack multiple H1s across shared layouts. Enforce one H1 in the page and demote layout H1s to H2.
Server-rendered answer paragraph. Move the answer paragraph into a server component so it is in the initial HTML — AI crawlers rarely execute client-only content.

Структурированные данные

Проверки структурированных данных

Emit Article / Product JSON-LD from server components. Return a <script type="application/ld+json"> from a server component keyed by the route type.
Ship BreadcrumbList JSON-LD. Emit BreadcrumbList JSON-LD reflecting the App Router segment path.
FAQPage JSON-LD on Q&A routes. Colocate FAQ data with the page and emit FAQPage JSON-LD when the page contains FAQ blocks.

Готовность к AI-поисковикам

Fast LCP via ISR / SSG. Static generation or ISR gives AI crawlers a fast cache-hit response. Slow dynamic responses risk being deprioritised.
Preload the hero image. Use next/image priority on the LCP image so it renders under 2.5s.
Emit canonical + hreflang from the Metadata API. Set canonical and alternates in generateMetadata so localized routes do not compete.

На что обратить внимание

Подводные камни

Client-only rendering hides content from AI crawlers — server-render answer paragraphs.
ISR staleness beyond 24h loses recency signals — set revalidate to match your update cadence.
Middleware that rewrites URLs without setting canonical creates duplicate content — canonicalize.
