• shadcn-ui
• Tailwind CSS
• Supabase (via Lovable Cloud)

SEO & AI Discoverability

This project is optimized for AI crawlers (GPTBot, Claude, Perplexity) and traditional search engines:

What's Implemented

1. Comprehensive Meta Tags - All pages have proper title, description, canonical, and OG tags
2. JSON-LD Structured Data - SoftwareApplication, Organization, and FAQPage schemas in index.html
3. Noscript Fallback - Full marketing content in <noscript> tags for crawlers that don't execute JS
4. Sitemap - public/sitemap.xml with all marketing routes
5. robots.txt - Explicitly allows AI crawlers (GPTBot, Claude-Web, PerplexityBot, etc.)
6. Per-Page SEO - Blog posts include FAQ schema and article markup

Route Configuration

Marketing routes are defined in src/prerender/routes.ts:

export const PRERENDER_ROUTES = ['/', '/crew-plan', '/blog'];

Adding New Routes for SEO

1. Add the route to PRERENDER_ROUTES in src/prerender/routes.ts
2. Add metadata to ROUTE_METADATA in the same file
3. Add the route to public/sitemap.xml
4. Use <Helmet> in the page component for dynamic meta tags

Limitations

• Dynamic routes (/blog/:slug) rely on client-side rendering
• Full SSG prerendering would require framework migration (Next.js/Astro)
• The current solution maximizes AI discoverability within Vite SPA constraints

Verification

Run after build to verify SEO content:

node scripts/verify-prerender.mjs
