Manage your app

SEO & AI search

Manage, then SEO & AI search: how your site appears in search results and shared links, its name and icon, the review that checks titles, headings and structured data, and a domain people remember.

SEO & AI search helps people, and the AI assistants they ask, find your app: open Manage, then SEO & AI search.

Some of it is done for you on every publish. The site gets a title and description, the tags that make a shared link show a card, an icon, a sitemap and a robots file, without being asked. The sitemap lists the home page and every link to a page of the app that it finds in the code. A page of its own gets its own title and description when the app sets them, which you can ask for in the chat.

The review

Run review reads the whole app and checks what search engines and AI assistants read: titles, descriptions, headings, the text on pictures, the structure of the page, and structured data. It gives a score out of 100, shown on Overview too, and a list of what to improve. Fix on a row, or Fix all in chat, puts the fix in the chat for you to read and send.

The price in credits is on the button, and the button reads Re-run review after the first. The review is on a paid plan: on Free it shows a Pro label and opens the upgrade offer.

On Overview, pressing the SEO score tile starts the review if it has not run, and spends the credits. The Security tile does the same with a scan.

How your site appears

A preview of the result in Google, on a computer or on a phone. It shows the title and description a publish would write. Wherever someone shares the link, the same title, description and picture are used.

The title is the App name you set below, otherwise the brand read from the app, otherwise the name of the project. The description is the first headline on the page, with the line under it. If it does not say what you want, Ask Setherion to edit details puts a request in the chat with the current title and description, for you to change before sending.

Name and icon

App name is the name in the browser tab and in search results, under the icon on a phone, and in the stores. It can be up to 50 characters. Left empty, the greyed name read off your app is used. Publish again to put a new one on the app.

The name does not change the address. coffee-shop-ember-grain.setherion.app stays as it is, so links already shared keep working. The address is changed in the Publish window: see Publish to the web.

Change the icon opens the app's icon: use one made for it, or upload your own.

Get found on Google

Search engines find a published site on their own in time. Get found on Google lets you tell Google about yours now, through Google Search Console, where you also see the searches that bring people to it. The card shows the steps, with the two addresses to paste ready to copy.

  1. Press Open Search Console and add your site. Choose URL prefix and paste the address from the card: your own domain when you have one, otherwise the free address.
  2. Under Other verification methods, choose HTML tag, copy the tag and paste it in the card.
  3. Press Save, publish again so the tag is on your site, then press Verify in Search Console.
  4. Once the site is verified, open Sitemaps in Search Console and submit the sitemap address from the card.

Bing's results also feed DuckDuckGo and Copilot. In Bing Webmaster Tools you can import your site straight from Search Console, or paste Bing's tag in the card the same way.

Every publish of a public app also tells Bing and other search engines which pages changed, with nothing for you to do. Once your own domain is connected, publish again: from then on the site tells search engines that domain is its address. Google decides when pages appear, and it can take a few days. A private app cannot be read by search engines.

Hide from search engines

For a test, a demo or an app still in the works, turn on Hide from search engines. From the next publish the site asks search engines not to list it, its sitemap lists nothing and they are told nothing about it. Anyone with the link can still open it, so it is not the same as a private app. While it is on, Get found on Google shows no steps. Pages a search engine already has drop out the next time it reads them; for Google, Removals in Search Console takes them out sooner.

Your own domain

A site on a domain of its own is the one people remember, and it stays yours if you ever move the site. Suggest names for it thinks of names that fit the site and checks which are free, as short chips with a price a year, and More ideas thinks again. Set up domain connects one. This card goes away once the app is on a domain of its own, and before the first publish it says to publish first and offers Search yourself. Suggesting names costs no credits. See Custom domains.
