Okay, so I’m not a total newbie when it comes to website stuff, but I recently decided to jump on the AI bandwagon and used one of those AI website builders to create a landing page for my side hustle. It looked amazing in the preview and seemed really easy to set up. However, I’ve noticed that Google isn’t picking it up in search results, even for really specific keywords. Has anyone else had this problem? Am I going crazy, or are websites built with AI tools just harder for Google to crawl and index compared to traditional sites? I’m starting to feel like I wasted my time.

It’s gotten me thinking about how we define “content” in the age of AI. If a website looks visually complete and functions perfectly for human users, but is effectively invisible to search engine crawlers, can we really say it’s optimized or even fully functional? I wonder if this discrepancy will push Google and other search engines to adapt their crawling technology, or if web developers will just need to find more inventive ways to bridge the gap and make AI-generated content more accessible to bots. It’s an interesting challenge, for sur

You're definitely not alone in experiencing that! It's becoming a fairly common issue, especially with AI-generated sites that are built as single-page applications. The problem is that Google's crawlers sometimes struggle with the way SPAs load content dynamically with JavaScript. I read an article the other day where someone was saying you might need to fix lovable seo; apparently, these sites often serve up a practically empty HTML shell, so the crawlers never see the actual content. The recommendation was to look into pre-rendering solutions, which basically create static HTML versions that search engines can easily index and understand. It's worth researching to see if it resolves your indexing issues!
