OutQuest — Complete Technical SEO & Performance Infrastructure
Full technical SEO, indexing, structured data, and performance infrastructure implementation.
Overview
OutQuest is an outdoor activities platform built on Next.js with Supabase as the CMS. The client needed a complete technical SEO foundation — not a small fix, but a full infrastructure build covering metadata, indexing, structured data, performance, and crawlability.
The Problem
- ✕ No dynamic SEO metadata
- ✕ No XML sitemap or robots.txt
- ✕ No structured data / JSON-LD schemas
- ✕ No image optimization pipeline
- ✕ No Core Web Vitals optimization
- ✕ No automatic URL redirect handling
- ✕ No IndexNow / Bing integration
- ✕ No Microsoft Clarity analytics
Scope of Work
Search Engine & Analytics Setup
Microsoft Clarity installation, Bing Webmaster Tools, IndexNow integration (auto-notify Bing on Quest/Deal/Blog publish/update/delete).
Dynamic XML Sitemap
Auto-updating sitemap including homepage, CMS pages, blog posts, quest pages, deal pages, category pages. Auto-include new pages, update lastmod, canonical-only, exclude admin/redirect/404/noindex.
robots.txt
Dynamic robots.txt allowing public pages, blocking admin/auth/internal routes, referencing sitemap.
Dynamic SEO Metadata
CMS-editable SEO fields for every page type (title, description, canonical, meta robots, OG fields, slug) with live search preview and character counters.
Canonical URLs
Auto-generated canonical URLs for every public page, with complete CMS override capability.
Structured Data (Schema.org)
Dynamic JSON-LD: Organization, WebSite, Article, FAQPage, BreadcrumbList, plus context-appropriate schemas for Quest pages (Course/Event/JobPosting) and Deal pages (Offer/Product).
Image SEO
Automatic compression, AVIF/WebP, responsive sizes, width/height attributes, lazy loading, hero LCP preload, Next.js Image component, CMS-editable alt text.
Performance & Core Web Vitals
Targets: Mobile PSI 90+, Desktop PSI 95+, LCP <2.5s. Optimizations include code splitting, tree shaking, CSS minification, font preloading, and Supabase query optimization.
URL Redirects
Automatic 301 redirects on slug changes, preventing chains or loops.
Custom 404 Page
Implemented search, suggested content, and homepage navigation for lost visitors.
Crawlability Audit
Ensured all public pages are crawlable, eliminated orphan pages, removed accidental noindex directives, validated sitemap.
