IndexFast SEO Action Plan

Prioritized by Impact × Effort

CRITICAL — Fix This Week (Blocks Indexing)

1. Server-Render Landing Page Content

Impact: CRITICAL | Effort: 2-3 days

  • Extract static Hero content (H1, checklist, stats) into a Server Component
  • Only CTA button (auth-dependent useUser()) stays as client component
  • Apply same pattern to Features, HowItWorks, Pricing, FAQ sections
  • Verify Googlebot sees full content via URL Inspection Tool

Files: src/components/landing/Hero.tsx, src/app/(landing)/page.tsx

2. Fix JSON-LD Rendering

Impact: CRITICAL | Effort: 30 min

  • Root layout: Replace <Script strategy="beforeInteractive"> with <script type="application/ld+json">
  • Landing page: Move JSON-LD <script> to top of JSX return (before child components)
  • Validate with Google Rich Results Test

Files: src/app/layout.tsx, src/app/(landing)/page.tsx

3. Resolve WWW/Non-WWW Mismatch

Impact: CRITICAL | Effort: 15 min

  • Choose non-www (indexfast.co) since server redirects to it
  • Update sitemap.ts to use https://indexfast.co
