Mobile Web SEO

Hi guys,

I'd like to know if there is any SEO built into the generated mobile web code? Or is this something that I'll have to sort of build in manually after generating the files?

Thanks!

There is no SEO optimizations whatsoever in Titanium Mobile Web. Titanium Mobile Web apps are meant to be just that, apps. They require JavaScript to build the app's entire user interface. There are no meaningful HTML tags or content for spiders to parse.

  • Thanks for the response! Is it standard practice to release web apps without SEO, or do you recommend going through the generated code and trying to optimise that way?

  • Well, I suppose that depends on the type of web app. For example, this Q&A website is a "web app" and it's very SEO friendly, however Gmail is also a "web app" and is not SEO friendly.

    If you're looking to build a Titanium Mobile Web app, you're building something more like a Gmail-type web app where it doesn't make sense for spiders to crawl it because all the content is rendered by a ton of JavaScript.

    So, if I were you, I'd forget about SEO in the Titanium Mobile Web app itself. I would set up a very SEO friendly website that markets and points users to the Titanium Mobile Web app.
