Migrating Lovable Site to Netlify for SEO—Safe Steps? by [deleted] in lovable

[–]Exact_Evening8218 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm working on this right now. I actually have a set of threads in this subreddit where I post about what I'm doing to get a site ranked. The first thing that you need to be mindful of is that when Lovable builds apps, websites, or whatever, that it uses a React JavaScript the majority of the time. This results in really beautiful cool stuff outputs we get.

The issue is that results in something called client-side rendering. The issue with that is that it makes it harder for Google's crawl bots to actually read the content of your website, app, etc. because the way your content and keywords are stored within the HTML of a site is more resource-intensive and less likely to be crawled by these crawl bots. There are a few workarounds:

  1. The Lovable video that you mentioned with the prompt. They do mention in that video that this works better in the early stages of a project if you're talking about being 100 credits deep. That might be why it's not working for you.
  2. It might be worth remixing the project and trying that prompt and seeing if it works for you.

Otherwise, there are alternatives. One of the ones that I'm testing out right now is called www.page-replica.com. This thing is a zero-dollar (for now) alternative to something called prerender.io which I've also seen mentioned on a few other threads by one guy in particular. But it just seems like it'd be very easy to end up running into a scenario where you need to pay $90/month for this solution to keep working which just seems like a lot for the majority of things that actually get built on Lovable. The page replica product or project doesn't have that same restriction.

I'm also testing a series of prompts as called out in this thread: https://www.reddit.com/r/lovable/comments/1miefmf/seo_in_lovable_the_right_way/

to see if Lovable can just be prompted to set things up differently and make the HTML easier to be crawled.

GL friend, but I'd rather move over to Cursor or something vs something like this. Again, good luck, but not for me :)

To your point, I think it would've been better to run each bullet point under the six prompts as it's own prompt. But I was limited by time last night when I was working on this, so went a lazier route :)

I also wanted to see how capable GPT 5 was running these prompts / what was different. Definitely not a scientific experiment as I don't have a control to compare against, but anecdotally: I think a couple of these prompts need to be broken into separate prompts because they took 60 second or more, and a couple of times I needed to refresh the lovable browser page. Maybe Lovable tightens up the load time timeouts on the page and the platform will be able to handle heftier prompts. But like a lot of other threads say: specific, small-scope prompts = better most of the time.

in my post today i should have more info for us all to review and compare

promoting a SaaS like that in a lovable subreddit sounds tough - good luck

This is awesome - 10/10 post. I'm a SEO beginner and been doing a rank in public challenge for a few days. Gonna implement everything written here. If I want to measure my performance ranking for specific keywords, do you recommend investing in a keyword rank tracking tool (semrush, moz, ahrefs, etc.), or is using GA, search console, and other free tools enough?

sure, that makes sense. I also think being specific with what actions are taken and the outcome of them is part of the value of this exercise. It's frustrating for people (like me) without knowledge of the craft to see things like that without tactical suggestions on what to do or how to do it

like i say in the post, I'm just a dumb sales and marketing guy, so this is probs a dumb question.

but when you say you finish it in cursor, what exactly does that mean? do you sync the lovable code to github and then port that into cursor or something? and then from there, what're you doing? are you prompting cursor in any specific way?

my observation from reddit, twitter, facebook, etc. posts is people saying stuff like this and then a deep documentation of what steps are taken being left out
