1. Page Resolution (Primary Flow)​

User Request: https://yoursite.com/about-us

Frontend: GET /page/path/about-us?module_id=XXX
              ↓
         ┌─────────┐
         │ Found?  │
         └────┬────┘
              │
      ┌───────┴───────┐
      │               │

      │       ↓             ↓
      ↓   Redirect     Show 404
   Render Page

2. SEO Meta Tags​

// Fetch page SEO metadata
GET /page/seo/about-us

// Render in <head>
<title>{seo.metaTitle}</title>
<meta name="description" content="{seo.metaDescription}" />
<meta property="og:title" content="{seo.ogTitle}" />
<meta property="og:image" content="{seo.ogImage}" />
<link rel="canonical" href="{seo.canonicalUrl}" />
<script type="application/ld+json">
  {seo.structuredData}
</script>

3. Sitemap Generation​

// Fetch sitemap data
GET /page/sitemap?module_id=XXX

// Generate sitemap.xml
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<urlset>
  <url>
    <loc>{WEBSITE_URL}{page.path}</loc>
    <lastmod>{page.updatedAt}</lastmod>
    <changefreq>{page.sitemap.changefreq}</changefreq>
    <priority>{page.sitemap.priority}</priority>
  </url>
</urlset>

  _id: ObjectId,
  module_id: ObjectId,
  slug: string,              // URL slug (e.g., "about-us")

  title: string,
  pageType: "standard" | "homepage" | "landing" | "article" | "custom",
  active: boolean,           // Published?
  indexed: boolean,          // Allow search engines?
  content: string,           // HTML content
  description: string,
  
  // SEO
  seo: {
    metaTitle: string,
    metaDescription: string,
    metaKeywords: string[],
    ogTitle: string,
    ogDescription: string,
    ogImage: string,
    ogType: string,
    twitterCard: string,
    canonicalUrl: string,
    alternateUrls: [{ lang: string, url: string }],
    structuredData: object,
    robots: string
  },
  
  // Sitemap
  sitemap: {
    include: boolean,
    priority: number,         // 0.0 to 1.0
    changefreq: string        // "daily", "weekly", etc.
  },
  
  // Publishing
  publishedAt: Date,
  scheduledAt: Date,
  expiresAt: Date,
  
  // Analytics
  viewCount: number,
  lastViewedAt: Date,
  
  // Timestamps
  createdAt: Date,
  updatedAt: Date
}

Redirect Model​

{
  _id: ObjectId,
  module_id: ObjectId,
  sourcePath: string,        // Old URL (e.g., "/old-about")
  targetPath: string,        // New URL (e.g., "/about-us")
  statusCode: 301 | 302,     // Permanent or temporary
  matchType: "exact" | "prefix" | "regex",
  caseSensitive: boolean,
  active: boolean,
  reason: string,            // Admin notes
  expiresAt: Date,
  hitCount: number,          // Usage statistics
  lastHitAt: Date,
  createdAt: Date,
  updatedAt: Date
}

Example: Complete Page Lifecycle​

1. Create Page in CRM​

POST /page/new
{
  "slug": "contact",
  "path": "/contact",
  "title": "Contact Us",
  "active": true,
  "seo": {
    "metaTitle": "Contact Us | Your Company"
  }
}

2. Page is Immediately Available​

GET /page/path/contact
→ Returns full page data

3. Update URL (Create Redirect)​

POST /redirect/new
{
  "sourcePath": "/contact",
  "targetPath": "/get-in-touch",
  "statusCode": 301
}

PUT /page/edit/{id}
{
  "path": "/get-in-touch"
}

4. Old URL Redirects Automatically​

GET /redirect/resolve/contact
→ Returns { targetPath: "/get-in-touch", statusCode: 301 }

SEO Best Practices Implemented​

✅ Clean URLs: All paths lowercase, hyphen-separated ✅ Canonical URLs: Prevent duplicate content issues
✅ hreflang Tags: Multi-language support ✅ Structured Data: Schema.org JSON-LD markup ✅ OpenGraph: Social media previews ✅ Twitter Cards: Twitter-specific previews ✅ Sitemap: Dynamic sitemap.xml generation ✅ Robots Meta: Per-page indexation control ✅ 301 Redirects: Preserve SEO value during URL changes ✅ Mobile-First: Responsive content support

Performance Considerations​

Database Indexes​

All critical fields are indexed:

  • path (unique, primary lookup)
  • module_id + active + publishedAt (listing)
  • slug + lang (multi-language)
  • sitemap.include + indexed (sitemap generation)

Caching Recommendations​

  • Published Pages: Cache for 1 hour
  • SEO Metadata: Cache for 1 hour
  • Sitemap: Cache for 24 hours
  • Redirects: Cache for 1 week

Query Optimization​

  • Use /page/seo/:path for lightweight head tags
  • Pagination for large lists
  • Field selection to minimize data transfer

Testing Checklist​

Backend​

  • ✅ All TypeScript types validated
  • ✅ MongoDB indexes created
  • ✅ API routes registered
  • ✅ Authentication middleware applied

Frontend Integration​

  • ⚠️ Implement page resolution flow
  • ⚠️ Add SEO meta tag rendering
  • ⚠️ Generate sitemap.xml route
  • ⚠️ Handle 404 with redirect lookup
  • ⚠️ Add caching layer

Next Steps for Frontend Team​

  1. Choose Your Framework: Next.js, Nuxt, or custom SSR
  2. Implement Page Resolution: Use examples from quickstart guide
  3. Add SEO Meta Tags: Render from API data
  4. Generate Sitemap: Create sitemap.xml route
  5. Handle Redirects: Implement 404 → redirect → page flow
  6. Add Caching: Cache published pages appropriately
  7. Test SEO: Use Google Rich Results Test, Lighthouse

CRM Integration (Admin Dashboard)​

The current Baldr-Bo admin dashboard can now:

  1. Create/edit pages with full SEO controls
  2. Manage redirects with visual feedback
  3. Preview pages before publishing
  4. Schedule publication dates
  5. View analytics (page views, redirect hits)
  6. Bulk update SEO across multiple pages
