What You Need Before Starting

Before you begin, you’ll need:
  • A domain you own (e.g., myapp.com)
  • Your app’s current URL (e.g., myapp.lovable.app or myapp.vercel.app)
  • Access to your domain’s DNS settings

Step-by-Step Setup

1

Create your Hado SEO account

Sign up at hadoseo.com/auth. You can start with a 3-day free trial.
2

Add your domain

Enter your custom domain (e.g., myapp.com) and your app’s current URL.
Use your production URL, not a preview URL (those starting with preview--)
Hado SEO supports URLs from:
  • .lovable.app (Lovable)
  • .bolt.host (Bolt.new)
  • .base44.app (Base44)
  • .floot.app (Floot)
  • .replit.app (Replit)
  • .vercel.app (Vercel)
  • .netlify.app (Netlify)
  • .pages.dev (Cloudflare Pages)
3

Configure DNS records

Add the following DNS records in your domain registrar. For provider-specific instructions, see the DNS Setup Guide.For root domain (example.com):
TypeNameValue
A@137.66.32.95
For www subdomain:
TypeNameValue
Awww137.66.32.95
If you’re using Cloudflare, make sure to set the proxy status to DNS only (gray cloud icon).

Verify and go live

Click Verify DNS in your dashboard. Once verified, your site is live with prerendering enabled!
DNS propagation typically takes 5-10 minutes but can take up to 1 hour in some cases.

What Happens After DNS Is Configured

Once your DNS is configured:
  1. Sitemap discovery - We crawl your sitemap to find all pages
  2. Cache pre-warming - All pages in your sitemap are pre-rendered
  3. SEO scoring - Every pre-rendered page is scored for SEO quality, shown as a green checkmark, yellow hazard, or red warning icon next to the page
  4. Bot detection active - Search engine crawlers receive pre-rendered HTML
  5. Analytics available - Track crawls, cache hits, and bot visits in your dashboard
Important: If your app doesn’t have a sitemap, pages are only rendered on-demand when first visited. Add a sitemap to ensure all pages are pre-cached.

After Setup: Getting Indexed

Verify Search Engines Can See Your Content

In your Hado SEO Dashboard, click the green checkmark, yellow hazard, or red warning icon next to any page to open the detail panel. You’ll see the SEO score, meta tag analysis, and a preview of exactly what search engines and social media bots will see — including the rendered HTML, Open Graph tags, and link previews. You can also use our free SEO Bot Crawler Test to check any URL without logging in.

Submit Your Sitemap in Google Search Console

To speed up indexing, submit your sitemap directly to Google:
1

Open Google Search Console

Go to Google Search Console and select your property. If you haven’t added your site yet, add it as a URL-prefix property using https://yourdomain.com.
2

Submit your sitemap

Navigate to Sitemaps in the left sidebar. Enter sitemap.xml in the “Add a new sitemap” field and click Submit.
3

Check for errors

After a few minutes, Google will show the status of your sitemap. A green “Success” status means Google found and read your sitemap. If there are errors, check that https://yourdomain.com/sitemap.xml is accessible in your browser.
You can also request indexing for individual pages in Google Search Console by entering a URL in the top search bar and clicking Request Indexing.
