Hi is it possible to have like a html text section on my compose page for SEO ranking purposes or we just limited to html embeds?

[Konstantin Tskhovrebov]

you could try to enable accessibility for that. it generates invisible html elements accessible for crawlers as well

Thank you I really appreciate it 🙌

@tz311, I'm curious, could you share a little bit more about your SEO expectations? Are you looking to have your entire application indexed or only parts of it?

[tz311]

I’d like the entire application to be indexed, as it’s a tool that also has a mobile app alternative. I don’t have extremely high expectations .My main goal is to give mobile app users the option to use the desktop version if they prefer it.

the accessibility elements do work for indexing (can't say how well they rank though), however, per default it will only capture the starting point of your application, because CfW is a single-page app. For example when that's only a login screen, that's useless. To index different screens you need different urls (not url fragments)

[Emil Flach]

Thanks for sharing, I had a similar concern as Dominik. If you manage to implement your navigation such that it uses non-fragment urls, you will be in a much better position. You'd probably also want to generate a sitemap, it helps a lot for the indexing.

[S.]

yeah you definitely need a sitemap because there won't be any links in the html the crawlers can follow. implementing the navigation part with k/js should be doable and you also need to configure your server to point all valid urls to your site's entrypoint
