Files contained within the `public/` directory are served at the root and are not modified by the build process. This is suitable for files that have to keep their names (e.g. `robots.txt`) _or_ likely won't change (e.g. `favicon.ico`).

```bash [Directory structure]
-| public/
---| favicon.ico
---| og-image.png
---| robots.txt
```

```vue [app.vue]
<script setup lang="ts">
useSeoMeta({
  ogImage: '/og-image.png'
})
</script>
```
