      const metas = document.getElementsByTagName("meta")
      for (let i = 0; i < metas.length; i += 1) {
        if (metas[i].getAttribute("name") === metaName) {
          return metas[i].getAttribute("content")
        }
      }

    }

    render(<Seo {...props} />)

    await waitFor(() => expect(getMeta("title")).toEqual("title page"))
  })
})

 you need to mock next/head, pass document.head to the container property of render's options and access the document. 

this would be the test output 

jest.mock('next/head', () => {
  return {
    __esModule: true,
    default: ({ children }: { children: Array<React.ReactElement> }) => {
      return <>{children}</>;
    },
  };
});

describe("Seo", () => {
  it("should render the meta tags", () => {
    const props = {
      title: "title page",
      excerpt: "string",
      seo: {
        title: "seo title",
        description: "meta description",
      },
      heroImage: {
        src: "url",
        alt: "alt text",
        width: 300,
        height: 400,
      },
    }

    render(<Seo {...props} />, { container: document.head })

    expect(document.title).toBe("title page")
  })
})
