SEO and AI search for a site built with v0

Short answer: v0 builds Next.js apps, so your public pages can be rendered on the server and readable by any crawler. Ask v0 to give every public page its own title, meta description, canonical URL and Open Graph tags through Next.js metadata, to add app/sitemap.ts and app/robots.ts, to add Organization structured data and an llms.txt file, and to keep public pages out of client-only components. Then publish on your custom domain, check View page source shows your text, and inspect the page in Google Search Console.

Step 1: keep public pages server-rendered

In Next.js, a page marked "use client" at the top can still be pre-rendered, but data fetched only in the browser will not be in the HTML. Check: on the live site, View page source and look for your headline and main text. If they are missing, ask:

"Our home, pricing and use case pages load their content in the browser. Move the content into server components so it is in the HTML, without changing how it looks."

Step 2: metadata per page

Prompt: "Use the Next.js Metadata API to give every public page a unique title under 60 characters, a meta description, a canonical URL on our production domain, and Open Graph and Twitter tags with a share image. Show me a table of the results."

Step 3: sitemap and robots.txt

Prompt: "Add app/sitemap.ts listing every public route with absolute URLs on our production domain, and app/robots.ts that allows crawlers on public pages, blocks API and admin routes, and points to the sitemap."

Open /sitemap.xml and /robots.txt on the live domain. Check robots.txt does not block OAI-SearchBot; OpenAI's docs say sites that block it are not shown in ChatGPT search answers.

Step 4: structured data and llms.txt

Prompt: "Add JSON-LD for our Organization on the home page using only facts shown on the page, and an llms.txt file in public/ with one line about us and links to our main pages." Never add ratings that are not on the page; Google's structured data guidelines say markup must describe visible content.

Step 5: content assistants can quote

• A first paragraph that says what you do, for whom and what it costs.
• A page per main use case.
• Pricing in text and a short FAQ.
• No placeholder copy left from generation.

Step 6: verify on your domain

Connect your custom domain (see taking a v0 app to production), verify it in Google Search Console, submit the sitemap and inspect the home page. Then ask ChatGPT, with search on, the questions your buyers ask, and note whether you appear.

Where Persqo helps

You can do all of this in v0. Persqo checks the live result and drafts the next prompt:

• Paste the Persqo prompt into your v0 chat and your app gets a Persqo admin page at /admin/persqo.
• An AI visitor tests the live app, checks what crawlers can read, and every finding comes with a fix prompt you paste into v0.
• One click: the Persqo fix runtime the prompt adds to your Next.js app applies the home page title and description, business and FAQ schema and llms.txt, each with Undo, live within a minute.
• If your v0 project is connected to GitHub, Persqo opens a pull request for llms.txt and robots.txt. Merge it, then use Pull Changes in v0. Persqo never merges.
• A Persqo GEO scan asks AI engines your buyers' questions and shows how often each names you. The first scan is a one-time $5.
