Agility CMS

Agility CMS is the only CMS on this list that offers all SEO fields built-in (kind of like Yoast with WordPress), which is great if you’re a content editor or a marketer. Surprisingly, other headless CMS don’t have SEO fields built-in. Combine this with sitemap and page management and the ability to add structured content to your website, and you’re well set for SEO just by using one of the Jamstack Next.js starters Agility CMS provides.
