built a local service business site with lovable, they use tanstack start with SSR so its not a plain vite SPA. curl tests with facebookexternalhit confirm bots get full HTML.

what i have:
  • SSR (html rendered server side, not client js)
  • unique title/description/og/canonical per route
  • localbusiness JSON-LD in the SSR shell, not injected via react-helmet
  • dynamic sitemap, robots.txt not blocking js/css
  • lang="es" set
missing anything obvious? any gotchas with lovable hosting specifically?
 
Sounds like you already have the important technical parts covered. I would mainly check the basics that are easy to miss like google business profile optimization, strong local content, consistent NAP details and good internal linking. Technical SEO is important but for local sites the biggest gains usually come from relevance, reviews and local signals.
 
No it's a good start, but you'll also need optimized location pages, consistent NAP, Google Business Profile, LocalBusiness schema, reviews, citations, internal linking, and Core Web Vitals for strong local SEO.

it looks like a good starting point but i'd also make sure the Google Business Profile is fully optimized and the business details are consistent everywhere online...for local SEO those small details often make a bigger difference than people expect.
 
Check the rendered page as Googlebot too, not just facebookexternalhit. If status codes, canonicals, sitemap URLs, and the GBP landing page all match the final live URLs, Lovable itself shouldn’t be the problem.
 
Looks like a good starting point. I'd be interested to see some ranking results after a few weeks, especially for competitive local keywords.

Although it covers the fundamentals, strong optimization of the Google Business Profile and local citations are also required for local SEO.
 
Your technical setup is already solid since bots are getting full HTML directly. For local SEO, just double-check that your JSON-LD address matches your Google Business Profile exactly. Other than that, just focus on building local citations and reviews, as the backend structure is good to go. :cool:
 
That covers most of the basics. I'd also verify indexing in Search Console, optimize Core Web Vitals, and make sure your internal linking and local citations are in place.
 
Looks like you have covered most of the important technical basics. SSR, proper canonicals, schema, sitemap and crawlable HTML are all good foundations.
I would also check things like core web vitals, mobile usability, internal linking between service/location pages and whether the GBP profile matches the website details. Technical setup helps but local seo usually comes down to relevance, trust signals, reviews and content quality too.
 
That setup looks solid for a local business site The main things I'd also check are Google Search Console verification Core Web Vitals optimized images with descriptive alt text and making sure each service/location page has unique content If those are covered you're in good shape
 
I would still test every route in Search Console and check Core Web Vitals because SSR alone does not guarantee clean indexing. For local SEO the bigger gains will likely come from strong service pages and Google Business Profile signals.

Looks like you’ve covered the main technical SEO basics. I’d also check Core Web Vitals, page speed, internal linking, and make sure Google Search Console is showing the rendered HTML correctly.
 
Your technical setup sounds pretty solid already. I'd mainly double-check the boring local stuff now: Google Business Profile, same name/address/phone everywhere, reviews, location pages, and Search Console indexing. Like, SSR and schema are nice, but local SEO usually comes down to trust signals and whether Google clearly understands the area and services.
