# SEO Improvements for Roo Code Website
This document outlines the SEO improvements implemented to help index the Roo Code website in Google search results.
## Changes Made

- Points to sitemap location
- Sets crawl delay for polite crawling
- Blocks unnecessary paths like `/api/`, `/_next/`, etc.
### 2. Dynamic Sitemap

- **Features**:

### 4. Structured Data (Schema.org)

### 5. Page-Specific Metadata

## Next Steps for Complete Google Indexing
### 1. Google Search Console Setup (REQUIRED)

3. Verify ownership using one of these methods:
- **HTML file upload** (recommended)
- **HTML tag** (replace placeholder in layout.tsx)
- **DNS record**
- **Google Analytics**
- **Google Tag Manager**
### 2. Submit Sitemap
After Search Console verification:
1. Go to "Sitemaps" section
2. Submit: `https://roocode.com/sitemap.xml`
### 3. Request Indexing
1. Use "URL Inspection" tool in Search Console
2. Request indexing for key pages:
- `https://roocode.com/`
- `https://roocode.com/enterprise`
- `https://roocode.com/evals`
### 4. Monitor Performance
- Check "Coverage" report for indexing issues
- Monitor "Performance" for search appearance
- Review "Enhancements" for structured data validation
## Additional Recommendations
### 1. Content Optimization
- Ensure all pages have unique, descriptive titles
- Add more content to pages that are content-light
- Include relevant keywords naturally in content
### 2. Technical SEO
- Ensure fast loading times
- Optimize images with alt text
- Implement proper heading hierarchy (H1, H2, H3)
### 3. Link Building

- Consider getting backlinks from relevant tech blogs/sites
- Submit to relevant directories (GitHub, VS Code marketplace, etc.)
### 4. Social Signals
- Share content on social media
- Encourage community engagement
- Consider creating blog content about AI development
## Verification
To verify the improvements are working:
1. **Test robots.txt**: Visit `https://roocode.com/robots.txt`
2. **Test sitemap**: Visit `https://roocode.com/sitemap.xml`
3. **Validate structured data**: Use [Google's Rich Results Test](https://search.google.com/test/rich-results)
4. **Check meta tags**: Use browser dev tools or online SEO checkers
## Expected Timeline
- **Immediate**: Technical improvements are live
- **1-2 weeks**: Google discovers and starts crawling
- **2-4 weeks**: Pages begin appearing in search results
- **1-3 months**: Full indexing and ranking improvements
## Notes
- The Google verification meta tag in `layout.tsx` contains a placeholder
- Replace `"google-site-verification-placeholder"` with actual verification code from Search Console
- Monitor Search Console regularly for any crawling issues
- Consider implementing Google Analytics for additional insights
