# Base44 SEO: Prerender Your Base44 App for Google & AI Search

> Fix SEO for Base44 apps. Prerender your .base44.app site so Google, AI search engines, and social media can index your content. Step-by-step setup guide.

## Base44 SEO: Why Your App Isn't Ranking on Google

[Base44](https://base44.com) is an AI-powered application development platform for building web apps. Apps built with Base44 use client-side rendering, which means search engines often can't see your content.

## Why Base44 Apps Need Prerendering for SEO

Base44 apps are deployed to `.base44.app` subdomains. While these work great for users, search engines struggle to index JavaScript-rendered content:

* **Google can't index your pages**. Your Base44 app renders content with JavaScript, which search engines may not execute
* **Social media previews are broken**. Links shared on Twitter, Facebook, and LinkedIn show blank previews
* **AI search engines skip your content**. ChatGPT, Perplexity, and other AI search tools can't discover your Base44 app

## How Hado SEO Fixes Base44 SEO

2. ✅ Get full Google indexing without changing your Base44 code
3. ✅ Enable perfect social media previews (Open Graph)
4. ✅ Be discoverable by AI search engines like ChatGPT and Perplexity

## Base44 SEO Best Practices: Meta Tags, Sitemaps & Search Console

After setting up prerendering, optimize your Base44 app for maximum search visibility:

### Add SEO Meta Tags to Your Base44 App

If your Base44 app uses React, add meta tags with react-helmet-async:

```jsx theme={null}
import { Helmet } from "react-helmet-async";

export const SEO = ({ title, description, ogImage }) => (
  <Helmet>
    <title>{title}</title>
    <meta name="description" content={description} />
    <meta property="og:title" content={title} />
    <meta property="og:description" content={description} />
    {ogImage && <meta property="og:image" content={ogImage} />}
  </Helmet>
);
```

### Create a Sitemap for Your Base44 App

Configure a custom sitemap in your Hado SEO [Domain Settings](/dashboard/domain-settings):

```xml theme={null}
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<urlset xmlns="http://www.sitemaps.org/schemas/sitemap/0.9">
  <url>
    <loc>https://yourdomain.com/</loc>
    <priority>1.0</priority>
  </url>
  <url>
    <loc>https://yourdomain.com/about</loc>
    <priority>0.8</priority>
  </url>
</urlset>
```

<Tip>
  If your Base44 app uses Supabase, check out our [Dynamic Sitemap Guide for Base44](/guides/dynamic-sitemap-base44) to automatically generate sitemaps from your database.
</Tip>

### Submit Your Base44 App to Google Search Console

1. Add your domain to [Google Search Console](https://search.google.com/search-console)
2. Verify ownership using DNS verification
3. Submit your sitemap URL
4. Request indexing for your homepage and key pages
