How to Make Your Lovable Website SEO Friendly (Tips & Tricks)

Lovable is awesome for whipping up clean, AI-generated websites and web apps fast. But when it comes to SEO? You’ve got some work to do.

We’re not saying it’s impossible. But if you want your site to show up on Google (not just look pretty), you’ll need to go beyond Lovable’s default settings.

Here’s how to squeeze every bit of SEO performance out of your Lovable build.

‍

1. Prompt Like an SEO Pro

When you ask Lovable to build a page, how you prompt matters.

Use lines like:‍

Follow SEO best practices.

This tells Lovable to add:

• Meta titles and descriptions
• Canonical tags
• Schema markup
• Open Graph tags

Think of it as giving Google a cheat sheet to understand your content.

‍

2. Add Meta Tags Manually

Sometimes Lovable adds basic meta tags—but they’re often too generic.

Fix it:

• Customize your title tag to match your H1
• Write compelling meta descriptions (with keywords)
• Don’t forget social tags (OG title, OG description)

Your metadata is your clickbait on Google - make it count.

‍

3. Generate a Sitemap & Submit It

Lovable can generate a sitemap, but you still need to publish it properly.

Ask:‍

Create a sitemap with my custom domain.

Then:

• Publish your site
• Submit the sitemap in Google Search Console

Without this, Google’s playing hide and seek with your content.

‍

4. Use Clean, Structured Headings

SEO loves clarity.

• One H1 per page. Use H2s and H3s to break things up.
• Integrate long-tail keywords naturally into headings.

Why it matters: clear hierarchy = better crawling = better ranking.

‍

5. Add Internal Links

Google follows links to understand site structure. So give it a map.

Ask Lovable to:

Suggest internal links for this page.

Then link to related pages with descriptive anchor text (not just “click here”).

‍

6. Use Schema Markup

Schema helps your content show up as rich results (stars, FAQs, images).

Ask:‍

Generate schema markup for this page.

Copy the JSON-LD code into your site manually.

Then test it here: Rich Results Test

‍

7. Optimize Your Images

Page speed is a ranking factor—and bloated images slow everything down.

• Add alt text‍
• Compress images before upload (use Squoosh or TinyPNG)
• Replace the default og-image.png with a proper OG image

‍

8. Avoid Duplicate Content

If your site has similar pages, use canonical tags so Google knows which one to rank.

Ask Lovable to:‍

Add canonical tag for this page.

It’s a small tweak that avoids a big penalty.

‍

9. Publish Long-Tail Content

Broad keywords are tough. Go niche instead.

Create pages or posts that target phrases like:

• “How we built our SaaS landing page in 24 hours”
• “Top 5 design mistakes we fixed after launch”
• “What to include on a marketing agency homepage”

More specific = more likely to rank.

‍

10. What About Static Site Generation (SSG)?

Right now, Lovable doesn’t support true Static Site Generation. Some users have requested it (see the feature request), but it's not available yet.

That means:

• No guaranteed crawlability at scale
• Google may miss key content if it's rendered too late
• You're stuck with client-side rendering workarounds

If you need full SEO performance today, switching to a framework like Next.js or a platform like Webflow is the only way to ensure server-side rendering (or static site generation) and full control.

‍

But... Here's the Catch

These tricks will get you part of the way there.
But if your site is still hosted on Lovable, you’re working around limitations.

• No full control over head tags
• No true server-side rendering
• No programmatic SEO or database integration

If you want real, lasting SEO performance, you may need more than tricks.

That’s where we come in.
