The Problem

Your Framer Site Wins Compliments but Barely Shows Up on Google

It shows up a few months after launch, when the questions about Framer and SEO start: the site gets praise on social media, but almost no visits from search.

  1. Defaults

    Every page shares the site-wide title and description.

    Defaults

    We write a unique title, description, and social image for each page.

  2. CMS posts

    Blog and case study pages all show one description.

    CMS posts

    We bind CMS page settings to fields, so each item gets its own snippet.

  3. Old paths

    A renamed page left its old link on a 404.

    Old paths

    We add redirects in Site Settings for every changed or removed path.

  4. No schema

    Search engines can't tell your product page from your blog.

    No schema

    We add JSON-LD through custom code, filled from CMS fields where it fits.

You launched the Framer site in two weeks, and the design drew compliments the same day. Three months later, Framer Analytics shows a trickle of visits from Google, mostly people typing your brand name. Every blog post shares the site-wide description, because the CMS page settings were left at their defaults. You renamed a pricing page, and the old link now lands on a 404. Shared links still show the template's preview image.

We start with the settings Framer gives you and fill every one. Each page gets its own title, description, and social image, and CMS pages pull theirs from CMS fields. Changed paths get redirects in Site Settings, structured data goes in through custom code, and Search Console gets verified. Then we match the searches your buyers use to pages you have or should add. The site ends up search-ready, not just good-looking.

  • Every page's settings filled

    Titles, descriptions, and social images written page by page instead of one site-wide default.

  • CMS pages that name themselves

    Collection pages pull their title, description, and image from CMS fields, so every post stands apart.

  • Redirects for changed paths

    Renamed and removed pages send visitors and search engines to the right live page.

Our Framer SEO Process

From Free Check to Search-Ready Launch in Five Clear Steps

You see the findings, approve a fixed quote, and review every change in the Framer project before we publish. Your team keeps designing while the setup runs.

  1. We review your Framer project's site settings, page settings, CMS pages, redirects, and published sitemap, plus how the site loads on a phone. You get a short findings list and a fixed quote before any work starts.

What's Included

What You Get With Framer Website SEO

Every setup covers the settings Framer gives you, the structured data it leaves to you, and a handover, so new pages and CMS items publish ready for search.

  • Page titles and descriptions

    A unique title, meta description, and social preview image for every page you want found.

  • CMS settings bound to fields

    Collection pages draw their title, description, and image from CMS fields, so new items publish ready.

  • Redirects and indexing rules

    Redirects for changed paths, and search engines switched off for thank-you, test, and duplicate pages.

  • JSON-LD structured data

    Organization, article, and software schema added through custom code wherever each one fits.

  • Localization checks

    Titles, descriptions, and translated page paths checked for every locale you publish.

  • Search Console and handover

    Search Console verified, sitemap submitted, and a written guide so new pages launch search-ready.

What Our Clients Say

What Clients Say After Launch

Feedback from teams we have built websites, apps, and platforms for.

We had a pretty specific idea of what we wanted our website to become, but I wasn’t sure how easily we could explain all of it to a development team. There were quite a few moving parts, and we were working toward a deadline, so I expected a few things to get lost along the way. That never really happened. They understood what we were trying to achieve, kept us updated throughout the process, and got everything ready within the agreed timeline. The final site feels much easier to navigate, works beautifully on mobile, and is noticeably smoother for our customers. It was a huge relief seeing the original idea actually turn into the website we had in mind.

Work Culture

Why Startups Hand Us Their Search Setup

You picked Framer to move fast, so the setup stays light: a fixed scope, a short timeline, no retainer, and a handover your team can repeat.

  • One-time scope, no retainer

    Your setup is a fixed project with a price agreed before work starts. Monthly content later is a separate choice, not a condition.

  • Hands off your layouts

    We change settings, code embeds, and words, not your layouts or animations. If a section hurts load time on phones, we explain the trade-off and you decide.

  • Straight answers on limits

    Framer has no official HTML export, and some settings depend on your plan, so we say that up front. If your site has outgrown Framer, we'll say so before we quote.

  • A handover you can repeat

    You get a short written guide to the settings we used and why. Your team can then launch new pages and CMS items search-ready without us.

  • Your project, your accounts

    The Framer project, the domain, and Search Console all remain yours. We join as an invited editor and step out once the handover is done.

  • Tested on real phones

    We load key pages on a mid-range phone, not only on a fast laptop. Heavy video backgrounds and embeds get flagged with a lighter alternative.

Good fit

  • Startups on a Framer marketing site

    Your Framer site launched fast and looks sharp, but Google sends almost no visits beyond people who already know your brand name.

  • Designers handing off Framer sites

    You build Framer sites for clients and want SEO for Framer handled properly before handoff, without learning every setting yourself.

  • Teams weighing Webflow or Framer

    Your team is weighing Webflow vs Framer SEO before a redesign and wants a straight answer on what each platform lets you control.

  • Founders publishing in Framer CMS

    Your blog and changelog live in Framer CMS, and every post shows the same description in search results because the page settings stayed at their defaults.

  • Studios running several Framer sites

    Your studio runs Framer sites for several clients and wants one repeatable Framer SEO optimization checklist applied to every launch.

Not a fit

  • Want monthly content and links

    You want ongoing articles, links, and monthly reports rather than a setup. Our SEO Agency for Startups service runs that as a monthly program.

  • Site isn't built yet

    You still need the Framer site designed and built. Our Framer Experts for Hire service builds it, and the SEO settings can go in before launch.

  • Outgrowing Framer

    You need thousands of generated pages, logged-in app screens, or full control of rendering. Our Next.js Development service fits that better than more Framer settings.

  • Budget under $700

    If $700 is more than you can spend right now, Framer's own help articles on page settings and redirects cover the basics you can set yourself.

FAQ

Frequently Asked Questions

Straight answers on cost, timing, Framer's SEO limits, exporting, and how Framer compares with Next.js.

  • Our setups start at $700 one time for Framer sites up to 15 pages. Search-Ready Site ($1,350) covers up to 40 pages with CMS bindings, schema, and a search plan. Growth Setup ($2,100) adds locale checks, up to 4 CMS collections, and 3 new pages written. You get a fixed quote after the free check.

  • Most Framer site setups take 1 to 3 weeks from approval to handover. A 15-page site with no CMS usually finishes in about a week. Sites with several collections or locales take longer, because each CMS template and translated path needs its own checks. Visits from Google then build over the following months.

  • Yes, Framer is good for SEO once its settings are filled in. It pre-renders every page to HTML on its servers, generates a sitemap, and compresses images to modern formats. You can set titles, descriptions, redirects, and per-page indexing. Most Framer sites rank poorly because those settings stayed at their defaults.

  • Well, in most cases: Framer serves compressed images and pre-rendered pages, so a lean site loads quickly on phones. Slow pages usually come from autoplay video backgrounds, large embeds, and stacked scroll effects. We test key pages on a mid-range phone and suggest a lighter version of whatever drags the load time.

  • No, Framer offers no official HTML export for self-hosting, so your site stays on Framer's hosting. CMS content can be exported through plugins as CSV or JSON files. If owning the code matters to you, plan a rebuild on a framework such as Next.js rather than counting on an export.

  • Neither ranks better by default, because Google ranks pages, not frameworks. Next.js gives developers full control of rendering, routing, sitemaps, and structured data, which helps large or complex sites. Framer covers the essentials with far less upkeep, which suits marketing sites and landing pages. For SEO with Framer, the limit is control, not crawlability.

  • Yes, each Framer CMS item can have its own SEO title, description, and social image. In the CMS page's settings, you insert field variables such as the item's title and description, then choose a CMS image for the social preview. Once bound, every new post or case study publishes with its own search snippet.

  • Yes, Framer supports redirects, set in Site Settings under Hosting on plans that include them. They permanently send an old path to a new one, and wildcard patterns can move whole sections, such as an old blog folder. Redirects work within the same domain, so moving between domains needs a DNS or hosting change instead.

  • Follow Framer's guides if your site is small and you have a free afternoon, since page settings and redirects are well documented. If those guides already cover your case, we'll tell you before we quote. Hire help when you have CMS collections, several locales, or a launch date that can't slip.

  • You get a written handover and 30 days of support after launch for questions and small fixes. The handover lists every setting we changed, plus a short checklist for new pages and CMS items. If you later want monthly content and links, our startup SEO program can pick up from there.
