Public route map
Every public route listed with its data source and the rendering choice it needs, with reasons.
The Problem
Your React App Reads as One Blank Page to Google
It shows up once the app has public pages that should rank: pricing, docs, listings, or a blog. Users see everything, while search results show one title or nothing.
Same title
Every route shows the title from index.html in search.
Same title
Set a unique title, description, and canonical inside each route component.
Empty root
Google's first fetch gets one empty div and a script.
Empty root
Prerender static routes at build so each ships as finished HTML.
Div links
Blog and category links are divs with click handlers.
Div links
Swap them for anchor elements with real paths that crawlers can follow.
Hash URLs
HashRouter puts every page after a #, so Google sees one URL.
Hash URLs
Move to browser history routing so each page gets its own clean URL.
Your React app looks finished, and Google lists your pricing page as React App. View the source and the body holds one empty div and a script tag. Every route shares the title from index.html, so search results show the same snippet ten times. Blog links are divs with click handlers, so Googlebot finds the homepage and stops. A deleted listing still returns a 200 with a friendly not found message. Each sprint ships more routes that Google can't read properly.
We start route by route, not with a generic crawl. Each public route gets a choice: a prerendered HTML file, server rendering for changing data, or noindex for app-only screens. Then we add per-route titles and canonicals, real anchor links, and a 404 that returns a 404. Your developers review every change as a pull request. Search reads your routes as pages, not one script.
Route-by-route decisions
Each public route gets prerendering, server rendering, or noindex, chosen by what it holds.
A title for every route
Per-route titles, descriptions, and canonicals, set with React 19 metadata tags or Helmet.
Prerendered HTML at build
Static routes ship as finished HTML files, so Google's first fetch already has the content.
Our React SEO Services Process
From Empty Root Div to Indexed Routes in Five Steps
You see what Google gets for each route before any code changes, choose the rendering approach route by route, and review every pull request on staging.
We test 3 of your public routes with Google's URL Inspection live test and read the rendered HTML. A short written note follows: what Google sees on each route, which routes matter most, and whether a full audit pays off.
What's Included
What You Get With React SEO Best Practices in Your Codebase
The full scope: a route-level audit, per-route metadata, crawlable navigation, honest status codes, prerendering or server rendering, and a recrawl report after release.
Compare Options
DeveloperLook vs Prerender Service vs Full Rebuild
A hosted prerender service is quick to switch on, and a rebuild in a new framework fixes everything at once. Most React apps need something in between, so here is where each fits.
| Feature | DeveloperLookBest fit | Prerender service | Full rebuild |
|---|---|---|---|
| Time to first fix | 1 to 3 weeks of code changes | Hours to switch on | Months of rebuilding |
| What Google receives | The same HTML users get | A separate copy for bots | The same HTML users get |
| Metadata per route | Set in each route component | Only what the app renders | Set in the new framework |
| Google's guidance | Prerendering and server rendering | Called a workaround by Google | Server rendering by default |
| Risk to features | Routes change one at a time | Low, the app stays as is | High, every feature rebuilt |
| Upfront cost | Fixed scope from $750 | Low upfront | Highest upfront |
| Ongoing cost | None after handover | Monthly fee by page volume | None after the rebuild |
| Code ownership | Every change in your repository | Depends on the vendor | Yours after the rebuild |

What Our Clients Say
What Clients Say After Launch
Feedback from teams we have built and launched websites 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.
The mobile experience is probably my favourite part of the new site. We had spent a lot of time making sure the desktop version looked right, and the team kept pushing us to think about how everything would actually feel on a phone too. They were right. The navigation is clean, the interactions feel natural, and everything we’ve tested so far works exactly as it should. They also went through the links, forms, integrations, and other details more than once before launch, which I really appreciated. And even after going live, we could still reach out when something came up. The whole process felt friendly, organised, and surprisingly straightforward.
What I appreciate most is that the website is actually easy for us to manage now. We can update content ourselves instead of sending a developer a message every time we need to change something small. They also paid attention to the technical SEO side, which mattered to us because we didn’t want a new website to create problems for the traffic we already had. I’ve probably asked more questions than I should have since launch, but every question has been handled patiently and without any fuss. The team is easy to work with, they explain things clearly, and when we need something changed, they focus on getting it done rather than making the process complicated.

Work Culture
Why Product Teams Trust Us With Their React Code
We work inside your React codebase and review process, and we size every change by route, so your roadmap keeps moving while search gets fixed.
Changes through your reviews
We open pull requests on your branches and follow your lint and test rules. Nothing reaches production without your team's approval.
Rendering chosen per route
We don't push server rendering onto every screen. Login, settings, and dashboard routes stay client-side, because Google has no reason to index them.
Your versions respected
We work with the React and router versions you run today. Upgrades happen only when a fix needs one, and we explain why first.
Tests that prove the fix
Each change ships with a check, such as a Playwright test that reads the rendered title. Your team can rerun it after every release.
Honest about rebuild talk
Moving to Next.js is sometimes right, but rarely the first step. If prerendering 30 routes solves the problem, we recommend that instead.
No proprietary layer
Prerendering and server rendering run in your own build and hosting. There's no outside service between Google and your app to keep paying.

Good fit
Startups on a Vite React app
Your marketing pages and docs live inside a Vite React app, and a URL Inspection test shows Google an empty root div.
Teams still on Create React App
Your app was built on Create React App, which the React team deprecated in 2025, and you want ReactJS SEO fixed before choosing a new setup.
SaaS products with public app routes
Your public profiles, templates, or listings live inside the React app, and every one shows the same title in search results.
Marketing leads waiting on developers
You know SEO for React apps needs code changes, but the product team will only pick up tickets that name the route, the file, and a test.
Agencies with React client builds
Your agency built a client's site in React, and its pages appear in Google with the wrong title, no description, or not at all.
Not a fit
App runs on Next.js already
Your React app already runs on Next.js. Our Next.js SEO Services page covers the Metadata API, rendering modes, and Core Web Vitals inside that framework.
Vue, Angular, or mixed stack
Your site runs on Vue, Angular, or several frameworks at once. Our JavaScript SEO Services page is framework-neutral and fits better.
Need new features built
You need product features built rather than search fixes. Our React Development Services team builds the app, and SEO checks can join that project.
Few routes, under $750
Your app has under 5 public routes and little search traffic. A static landing page outside the app may solve it for less, and we'll say so on the call.

They start at $750 for a route audit, unique titles on every public route, and prerendering on up to 10 static routes. Prerendering for up to 50 routes with link and 404 fixes costs $1,500, and server rendering for dynamic routes costs $2,350. You get a fixed quote once we have tested 3 of your routes.
Fixing SEO in a React app takes 1 to 2 weeks for the audit and metadata, and 2 to 4 weeks with prerendering. Server rendering for dynamic routes needs 3 to 6 weeks in total. Google then has to recrawl the changed routes before Search Console shows the difference.
SEO in React JS means making a React app's pages crawlable, renderable, and indexable with the right content, titles, and links. React renders in the browser by default, so the work centers on the HTML Google receives for each route and what it sees after scripts run.
React is good for SEO when public pages are prerendered or server-rendered, and weak when everything renders in the browser. Google can run JavaScript, but it queues pages for rendering, and many other crawlers can't run scripts at all. Where key routes ship as HTML, React sites compete like any other site.
Yes, React JS and SEO work well together once you add what React leaves out. That means per-route titles, real URLs, and content in the first response. A plain client-rendered app gives every route the title from index.html. React 19 can now render title and meta tags inside components, which closes one old gap.
React JS matches server-rendered pages for SEO only when it also sends HTML for each route. Client-only React makes every crawl depend on JavaScript, while a server-rendered page hands Google finished content. Prerendering or server rendering closes that gap, and React keeps the interactive parts.
No, a default client-rendered React setup isn't SEO friendly out of the box. Create React App and the standard Vite template ship one index.html with one title for every route. You add per-route metadata, crawlable links, and prerendering yourself, or choose a framework that does it.
React isn't SEO friendly in apps that keep content and links out of the first HTML response. Common causes are click-handler navigation, hash-based URLs, data fetched only after load, and catch-all routes that return 200 for missing pages. Each one is a code pattern we can change, not a flaw in React itself.
Usually not: SEO with React rarely needs a rebuild as the first step. Prerendering static routes and fixing metadata, links, and status codes covers most problems inside your current app. A move to Next.js or React Router's framework mode makes sense when many dynamic routes need server rendering, and we show the trade-off first.
Yes, every change lives in your repository as a reviewed pull request, with no outside service between Google and your app. You get 30 days of fix support after release, or 60 days on Server Rendering Move. If a static page outside the app already covers your case, we'll tell you before we quote.
