SEO Tips
Help your app get discovered by search engines and AI assistants.
SEO + AEO: Get Found Everywhere
Modern discovery happens through search engines AND AI assistants. Optimize for both.
SEO (Search Engine Optimization)
Google, Bing, DuckDuckGo - traditional search results
AEO (AI Engine Optimization)
ChatGPT, Claude, Perplexity - AI-powered answers
Page Titles & Meta Tags
The foundation of SEO. Every page needs unique, descriptive metadata.
- • Title tag (50-60 chars) - Unique, keyword-rich, compelling
- • Meta description (150-160 chars) - Summarize the page, include CTA
- • Open Graph tags - Control how links appear on social media
- • Twitter Card tags - Optimized display on Twitter/X
- • Canonical URL - Prevent duplicate content issues
"Add complete SEO meta tags to each page: unique title under 60 chars, meta description under 160 chars, Open Graph image, and Twitter Card tags."
Heading Structure
Proper heading hierarchy helps search engines understand your content.
- • One H1 per page - Your main headline, include primary keyword
- • H2 for sections - Major content divisions
- • H3-H6 for subsections - Nested content hierarchy
- • Don't skip levels - Go H1 → H2 → H3, not H1 → H3
- • Descriptive headings - Tell readers what's in each section
"Fix the heading structure on this page. Use one H1 for the main title, H2 for major sections, and H3 for subsections. Make headings descriptive."
Semantic HTML
Use HTML elements that describe their content. Search engines understand semantic markup better.
- • <header> - Page or section header
- • <nav> - Navigation links
- • <main> - Primary page content
- • <article> - Self-contained content (blog post, product)
- • <section> - Thematic grouping of content
- • <aside> - Sidebar, related content
- • <footer> - Page or section footer
"Refactor to use semantic HTML. Wrap navigation in nav, main content in main, blog posts in article tags."
Image SEO
- • Descriptive alt text - Describe what's in the image (also helps accessibility)
- • Meaningful filenames - Use "blue-running-shoes.jpg" not "IMG_4532.jpg"
- • Responsive images - Provide multiple sizes with srcset
- • Lazy loading - Improves page speed (which affects SEO)
- • Image sitemaps - Help search engines find your images
"Add descriptive alt text to all images. Make sure the alt text describes the image content, not just 'image' or 'photo'."
URL Structure
- • Readable URLs - /blog/seo-tips not /blog?id=123
- • Include keywords - Put relevant terms in the URL
- • Use hyphens - Separate words with hyphens, not underscores
- • Keep them short - Under 60 characters is ideal
- • Lowercase only - Avoid case sensitivity issues
Structured Data (JSON-LD)
Help search engines understand your content with structured data markup.
- • Product schema - Price, availability, reviews
- • Article schema - Author, publish date, headline
- • FAQ schema - Questions and answers (can appear in search results)
- • Organization schema - Company info, logo, social profiles
- • Breadcrumb schema - Navigation path
"Add JSON-LD structured data for this product page including name, price, description, and availability."
AEO: Optimizing for AI
AI assistants are becoming a major discovery channel. Help them understand and recommend your content.
- • Clear, direct answers - Write content that directly answers questions
- • FAQ sections - AI loves well-structured Q&A content
- • Authoritative tone - Be confident and factual
- • Cite sources - Back up claims with references
- • Update regularly - AI prefers fresh, current content
- • llms.txt file - Provide an AI-readable summary of your site
"Add an FAQ section that answers common questions about [topic]. Use clear, direct language that AI assistants can quote."
Performance = SEO
Google uses Core Web Vitals as ranking factors. Fast sites rank better.
- • LCP (Largest Contentful Paint) - Under 2.5 seconds
- • FID (First Input Delay) - Under 100 milliseconds
- • CLS (Cumulative Layout Shift) - Under 0.1
