Overview

The Next 13 Boilerplate for Programmatic SEO Campaigns is a template for creating modern programmatic SEO campaigns. It includes all the features that you would expect in a modern pSEO campaign. The boilerplate utilizes Next 13 for static fast webpage loading and deployment on Vercel. It also uses Incremental Static Regeneration (ISR) for regenerating information on Vercel during runtime. The template automatically generates sitemaps and robots.txt, even with ISR regeneration, using next-sitemap. It provides distinct layouts for site, blog, and variant pages. The boilerplate also includes SEO metadata, JSON-LD, Open Graph tags with Next SEO, and a built-in cookie banner and Google Analytics. It features developer experience first with Prisma for easy database interaction, type-checking with TypeScript, integration with Tailwind CSS, strict mode for TypeScript and React 18, code formatter with Prettier, absolute imports using @ prefix, and E2E testing with Playwright.
