We want to use the new Glide Pages as an SEO feeder site to link to our app. I know the apps are not good at SEO. Are the new Pages product different from the apps allowing Google to index the content? Thanks, Dave

[image] Scott.JHOA: Bottomline, how much of any custom domain public facing pages are capable of being crawled or is all the code behind a firewall? Very little today. Glide is intended for business software that requires sign-in. If SEO is critical for you, Glide is likely the wrong choice.

@Dave_Lalande have you found out anything further on this? We are looking to do the same thing!

Since Glide Pages are like a Private Pro app, I don’t think it’s the right tool for SEO purposes, since only users who have access will be able to see the data. I don’t think Google will index that as you expect.

Do you mean, David, that in addition to facilitate data management, they could even serve as land pages? (with same GA4 conditions). Or is there specific LP in store and “cooking” in Glide’s “kitchen-lab”? Thks & sorry if it’s irrelevant.

Oh I wasn’t aware of this based on the pricing section inside a page: [Glide Pages · Glide 2021-11-02 at 4.20.18 PM]

Oh yes, for classified/directory app the SEO would be the must. Although, it might be tricky to do server-side rendering right, so an ability to integrate something like prerender.io could be an interesting solution.

Hey David - Has there been any update on this? Basic SEO within Glide Pages is a biggy for me :frowning_face:

Bumping this. SEO integration would be a massive help for my app. Right now, I have to maintain two separate products; having some basic SEO functionality in Glide would allow me to invest more of my time in Glide. Is this on the roadmap at all?

I’m literally sitting in waiting for SEO friendly pages to switch all my websites over to glide, consolidate cost and RPA routines to create SEO friendly websites that seamlessly link to a glide customer portal for my subscription-based software as a service. It will come. Hopefully sometime soon …

Glide applications are and always have been meant to allow businesses to build internal apps for catalogues, directories, processes. We can imagine Glide applications replacing some of our Excel spreadsheets for instance. I don’t think I’d want my spreadsheets to be indexed on search engines however…
