| flatrender-template-seo | Classifies and merchandises a FlatRender video template when an admin or developer creates or publishes it. Decides the single primary category, the faceted tags, the SEO title/description/ keywords/slug, the Persian-first presentation copy, and the related-templates set — every choice driven by the template's actual design, editable content, and usability. Use whenever creating, editing, publishing, or seeding a template (project_container) and you must fill category_ids, tag_ids, keywords, slug, description, news_text, or write its catalog/detail copy. Persian (fa) is the source of truth; English (en) mirrors it 1:1. |
FlatRender Template SEO & Taxonomy
Decide a template's category, tags, SEO, presentation copy, and related set — grounded in what the template actually is, not what you wish it ranked for. fa is canonical; en mirrors it.
When to use
- An admin creates/edits a template in
TemplatesAdmin.tsx, or you set fields oncontent.project_containers. - You run/extend
scripts/seed_remotion_templates.py(which currently leaves SEO + taxonomy EMPTY — see below). - You publish (
is_published = true) and need the template to be findable and well-presented.
Cross-reference: remotion-template-catalog (template TYPE → pattern), remotion-template-composition
(what's editable, used to write "what you can customize"), persian-fonts (RTL copy & Persian numerals).
The real data model (use these exact names — do not invent fields)
Template = content.project_containers. Admin sets via TemplatesAdmin.tsx → POST/PUT /v1/templates
(Create/UpdateContainerRequest). Settable, SEO/taxonomy-relevant fields:
| Purpose | Admin label | form key | DTO | DB column |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Name (→ H1) | نام | name |
Name |
name |
| Slug | اسلاگ | slug |

slug (CITEXT UNIQUE) |

Hard constraints from the platform (work within these):
- No
meta_title/meta_descriptionon a template. The only SEO string on a container iskeywords. Per-pagemeta_title/meta_description/meta_keywords/bot_followexist ONLY oncontent.categories(and onblogs). Workaround: put the page's discoverable meta intent intokeywords; pack the human title/description intoname+description; lift the rest of the meta from the assigned category'smeta_*fields (so choose the category deliberately — its SEO is inherited). - The public detail page emits title-only metadata (
templates/[id]/page.tsx→{ title: "${name} — FlatRender" }), and the public mapper (admin-api.tscontainerToAdminProject) DROPSkeywords,coverImageUrl→OG, and hardcodescategoryName: undefined. So today yourkeywords/category never reach the public<head>. Still fill them: they power the backend list filters and are the fix-point when the frontend SEO gap is closed. When you can, also fix the mapper to surfacekeywords+ cover OG; otherwise flag it. - No related-templates table/column/endpoint exists. "Related" is computed by re-querying
GET /v1/templates?categoryId={guid}or?tagSlug={slug}and excluding the current template. There is no precomputed set — pick the category/tags such that this query returns good neighbors. - Tags are not shown anywhere in the templates UI today, and the list page ignores the real DB
categories: the sidebar is ~12 hardcoded buckets (11 real categories +
"all"), and because the public mapper hardcodescategoryName: undefined, every template defaults to"social". Tags/categories still matter for the backend filters and future UI — set them correctly regardless. demo_script_tagexists in DB + DTO but is NOT in the admin form — you cannot set it there.- Categories are a tree (
parent_id);GET /v1/categoriesonly eager-loads one child level. Keep the primary set flat (8–12). Tags haveapplies_to_mode; categories do not.
Step-by-step decision process
Run this for every template, in order. Each step feeds the next.
0. Read the design + content + usability. What does it output (format)? What's editable (text/colors/
logo/images/music — from remotion-template-composition)? Who hires it and when? 2D or 3D (real Remotion
build: SVG vs @remotion/three)? Which aspects exist (16:9 / 1:1 / 9:16 child projects)?
1. Category — pick exactly ONE primary. Category = the output format, never the occasion/industry.
Test: which single shelf would a user expect this on? If the answer is a format (logo reveal, story, slideshow)
it's the category; if it's when/why/who (Nowruz, real estate, teens) that's a TAG. Use the flat set:
اینترو و لوگو / Intro & Logo · استوری و ریلز / Story & Reels · پست شبکه اجتماعی / Social Post ·
تبلیغ و پروموشن / Promo & Ad · اسلایدشو / Slideshow · معرفی محصول / Product Showcase ·
دعوتنامه و مناسبت / Invitation & Event · تیتراژ و زیرنویس / Titles & Lower-thirds ·
ارائه و اینفوگرافیک / Presentation & Infographic · یوتیوب و اینترو کانال / YouTube & Channel.
No "Other"; no category with <5 templates. → set category_ids (the primary first; its sort = index 0).
2. Tags — 6–12, from a controlled fa↔en vocabulary, each TRUE of this design, across facets:
use-case · occasion · industry · style/aesthetic · aspect ratio · color/mood · 2D-3D · audience.
Empty facets are fine — don't invent tags. Aspect ratio is a TAG (one template, three outputs), never a
separate catalog entry. Tag 3D only if it really renders 3D. Reuse existing content.tags (match by
slug/latin_name); create a new tag only as a deliberate dictionary edit. → set tag_ids.
3. SEO title / description / keywords / slug.
- Title (lives in
name):{Template Name} | {Category} {use/occasion}. Keep the keyword in the first ~30 chars (Persian runs long); brand is appended by the layout, don't double it. - Description (lives in
description, also reused as presentation copy): benefit + what + how-to-edit + soft CTA. fa 120–155 / en 120–158 chars. One natural keyword, no stuffing. - Keywords (lives in
keywords): how Iranians actually search — «قالب آماده», «ساخت/دانلود استوری», «تیزر تبلیغاتی», «اینترو لوگو» — include loanword + Persian spelling both ways (استوری/Story, اینترو/Intro). 1 primary + 2–3 secondaries. Note:keywordsis an opaque free-text column — the platform does NOT tokenize, split, index, or search on it (no comma parsing anywhere in form or backend). Commas are purely an authoring convention for human readability; write it however reads cleanest. - Slug (
slug): the slugifier KEEPS Persian (no transliteration). Prefer a curated latin/transliterated keyword slug for shareable URLs (Persian slugs become%D9%82...when copied). Lowercase, hyphenated, short, keyword-bearing. Never change a published slug.
4. Presentation copy (write into description; structure it so it doubles as SEO + usability):
H1 = human Persian name → one-line benefit hook → "این قالب برای چیست؟" (use-case+occasion+audience) →
"چه چیزهایی قابل تغییر است؟" (bullet the REAL editable fields — don't claim editable music if there's none) →
"چطور بسازم؟" (انتخاب → ویرایش متن/رنگ → دانلود) → spec strip (aspects, duration, 2D/3D). Benefit before
feature; second person; every claim true of THIS template.
5. Related set (caller-computed; pick category/tags so this works). Query
GET /v1/templates?categoryId=... then ?tagSlug=...; rank occasion > category+use-case > style > industry;
show 6–8; exclude this template's own aspect siblings (dedupe by template id); cap same-style clones;
label pack-mates «از همین مجموعه».
fa / en parity & RTL rules
- Fill fa first, then en as a faithful mirror. Two self-consistent pages — never a Persian page with an English title. Same template id; localized labels resolve per current locale.
- Persian uses Vazirmatn / RTL (see
persian-fonts); use Persian digits in user-facing copy; don't fight the[dir="rtl"]block. Tag/category slugs stay latin for stability; display names are localized. - hreflang fa↔en + x-default is the right target even though the detail page doesn't emit it yet — flag the gap.
Worked examples

- Category:
دعوتنامه و مناسبت / Invitation & Event. - Tags: occasion=نوروز/Nowruz · use-case=تبریک/greeting · style=لاکچری/luxury · 2D-3D=سهبعدی/3D · aspect=۹:۱۶,۱:۱,۱۶:۹ · color=طلایی/gold · audience=کسبوکار کوچک/small business.

nowruz-3d-greeting· Related: other نوروز items first, then Invitation & Event + greeting.
B. Instagram sale promo (پروموشن فروش ویژه اینستاگرام)
- Category:
استوری و ریلز / Story & Reels(output is a 9:16 vertical — format wins over "sale"). - Tags: use-case=فروش ویژه/flash sale · industry=فروشگاه آنلاین/e-shop · style=نئون/neon · aspect=عمودی ۹:۱۶/vertical · color=انرژیک/energetic · audience=فروشگاه/store · 2D.

- description (fa): «قالب آماده استوری برای اعلام تخفیف و فروش ویژه؛ متن، قیمت، رنگ و لوگوی فروشگاهت را جایگزین کن و استوری حرفهای ۹:۱۶ بساز.»
- keywords:
قالب استوری فروش, تخفیف اینستاگرام, ساخت استوری تبلیغاتی, دانلود قالب استوری, flash sale reels - slug:
instagram-flash-sale-story· Related: same use-case (flash sale) across categories, then Story & Reels.
C. Corporate logo reveal (لوگو موشن شرکتی)
- Category:
اینترو و لوگو / Intro & Logo. - Tags: use-case=معرفی برند/brand intro · style=مینیمال/minimal · audience=شرکتی/corporate · aspect=۱۶:۹,۱:۱,۹:۱۶ · color=آبی/blue · 2D (or 3D only if it truly is).
- name (fa): «قالب لوگو موشن شرکتی | اینترو و لوگو» · (en): "Corporate Logo Reveal Template | Intro & Logo"
- description (fa): «اینترو حرفهای برای نمایش لوگوی شرکت؛ لوگو، نام برند و رنگ سازمانی را وارد کن و یک اینترو تمیز و مینیمال بساز.»

corporate-logo-reveal· Related: other Intro & Logo + brand-intro use-case.
Where each value goes
- Admin UI (
TemplatesAdmin.tsx): name→name, slug→slug, presentation copy→description, SEO keywords→keywords, categories→category_ids(multi-select chips), tags→tag_ids, mode→primary_mode. Saves via/api/admin/resource/templates→/v1/templates. - Categories/Tags are managed on their own admin pages (
admin-resources.tsx→/v1/categories,/v1/tags); category-levelmeta_title/meta_description/meta_keywords/bot_followlive there — set them once per category. - Seeder (
scripts/seed_remotion_templates.py): currently SETS onlyname/slug/description/image/demo*/ is_published/primary_mode/sortand inserts ZEROcontainer_categories/container_tagsand NOkeywords. To seed SEO+taxonomy: addkeywordsto theproject_containersINSERT, and add INSERTs intocontent.container_categories(withsort= index) andcontent.container_tags. Otherwise each seeded template ships with no keywords, no category, no tags — invisible to backend category/tag filters until an admin opens it and assigns them.
Final checklist
- Exactly ONE primary category, format-based, from the flat set →
category_ids(primary at index 0). - 6–12 tags, controlled fa↔en vocab, each true of the design, across facets; aspect is a tag →
tag_ids. namecarries the SEO title (keyword in first ~30 chars; no doubled brand).description= benefit→for-what→customize(real fields)→how-to→specs; doubles as the meta description.keywords= 1 primary + 2–3 secondary, loanword + Persian spelling (free text — commas are just an authoring convention, not parsed).slug= curated latin keyword slug, stable, never changed after publish.- fa filled first, en a 1:1 mirror; Persian digits + RTL in copy.
- Related works via category/tag query; own aspect siblings excluded.
- Gaps flagged: no template
meta_*, public mapper dropskeywords/cover OG/category, no related table, no hreflang on detail page — note these where relevant rather than pretending they're set.
