Multiple sites in one setup

[Diewy]

Our Statamic projects have multiple sites with multipe languages:

• Main site - English
• Main site - French
• B2B site - English
• B2B site - French

But, when using the SEO plugin (and all other SEO plugins for Statamic) you'll see all the sites, not only the related ones.

For example:

The same goes for alternate links.

Besides the head tags, the B2B website shouldn't be indexed. So it should be excluded in the Sitemap + a noindex should be added. This is already possible via the SEO settings. 👍

I'm not sure what the best solution would be for the head tags. A site filter on the Antler variables?

I see your point. While you can use Statamic's multi-site feature to create multiple unrelated sites, it was mainly built around the concept of localizing the same site into different languages. There's a fundamental flaw that all sites are basically treated as translations of the same site.

To make it work the way you're describing, we'd have to be able to "group" sites to effectively distinguish between an actual "site" and the "localizations" of a site. This is a fundamental Statamic core issue and is a feature request that has been raised a lot.

That being said, we might be able to hook into additional site attributes to "group" sites and use that for Advanced SEO. But I rather just wait for this to be solved in core before investing a lot of time and resources to hack around Statamic's limitations.
