Lovable AI SEO Guide (2026)

1. Set unique titles and meta descriptions per route

Install react-helmet-async and add a <Seo> wrapper that injects <title>, <meta name='description'>, canonical, and Open Graph tags per page. Titles under 60 characters, descriptions under 155.

2. Ship a real sitemap.xml and robots.txt

Place sitemap.xml in /public with one <url> entry per indexable route. Reference it from robots.txt with a Sitemap: directive. Regenerate when dynamic routes (blog posts) are added.

3. Add JSON-LD schema for every page type

Articles → BlogPosting, comparisons → Article, FAQs → FAQPage, reviews → Review + AggregateRating, products → SoftwareApplication. Place the script tag inside <Helmet>.

4. Optimize Core Web Vitals

Preload the LCP image with fetchpriority='high', lazy-load below-fold images, defer non-critical JS, use font-display: swap. Target LCP < 2.5s, INP < 200ms, CLS < 0.1.

5. Build internal link clusters

Group pages around pillar topics. Every cluster page links up to the pillar with a descriptive anchor, and the pillar links down to all cluster pages. Avoid orphans.

6. Write AI-citable chunks

Open every section with a direct-answer sentence ('Lovable AI is …'). Use real <table> elements for comparisons. Keep sections 50-150 words so LLMs can quote you cleanly.

7. Publish llms.txt and update monthly

Place /llms.txt at the root listing your top URLs with one-sentence descriptions. AI crawlers (ChatGPT, Perplexity, Claude) use it as a sitemap for citation candidates.
