# Technical SEO
This skill makes a SaaS findable by Google and shareable on social — and fixes the specific trap of a Vite SPA serving near-empty HTML that crawlers can't read.
Analogy: an SPA is a book with a blank cover and blank first page until you open it and read aloud. Search crawlers and social bots only glance at the cover — if it's blank, they walk away. SEO here is printing a real cover (server-rendered head tags) so they see what the book is about.
## The SPA problem (state it upfront)
A Vite SPA serves near-empty HTML; content and meta tags appear only after JS runs. Social crawlers (WhatsApp, Twitter, LinkedIn) **don't run JS at all**, and Googlebot does so unreliably. So SEO tags must be **injected server-side or prerendered** — client-only `react-helmet` alone won't show a preview on WhatsApp.
## Discovery (max 3 questions, only if unknown)
1. Which pages need SEO — public marketing/landing/pricing, or also app routes?
2. Is the broken thing indexing (Google) or social previews (no image on share)?
3. Can you prerender marketing routes to static HTML, or must it stay a pure SPA?
## Step 1 — Per-page head tags
Use `react-helmet-async` to set per route: unique `<title>`, `<meta name="description">`, a canonical link, and **OpenGraph + Twitter Card** tags:
- `og:title`, `og:description`, `og:image` (1200×630), `og:url`, `twitter:card=summary_large_image`.
- Always **absolute URLs** in `og:image`/canonical (relative URLs break previews).
- Set `<html lang>` and one canonical per page to avoid duplicate-content issues.
## Step 2 — Make crawlers actually see them (the high-impact fix)
- **Marketing/landing routes → prerender to static HTML** with `vite-ssg` (or React SSR). Crawlers get real content + OG tags in the initial response. This is the single highest-impact change.
- **Pure CSR SPA, OG tags only → the "OG proxy" pattern**: a Vercel function + `vercel.json` rewrite that detects social/bot user-agents and serves HTML with the correct meta injected.
## Step 3 — Ship the crawl files
- **`robots.txt`** in `/public`: allow crawl of public routes, block private/app routes, and point to the sitemap (`Sitemap: https://domain.com/sitemap.xml`).
- **`sitemap.xml`** generated at build time (via `vite-ssg` output or a sitemap plugin), listing public URLs with `<lastmod>`. Submit it in Google Search Console.
## Step 4 — Structured data (JSON-LD)
Add `<script type="application/ld+json">` blocks:
- `Organization` + `SoftwareApplication`/`Product` on home/pricing.
- `FAQPage` on FAQ sections.
- `BreadcrumbList` where relevant.
Validate with Google's Rich Results Test.
## Step 5 — Performance is SEO
Core Web Vitals feed ranking. Hand off to the `frontend-performance` skill: code-split routes, lazy-load below-the-fold images, serve modern image formats, keep third-party scripts async/minimal.
## Output
Deliver: the `react-helmet-async` head component with OG/Twitter tags, the prerender or OG-proxy setup, `robots.txt`, the sitemap generation step, and the JSON-LD blocks for the key pages.
