Howdy Folks! Recently I've been asked a lot of questions about React SEO and Javascript SEO in general. I put together this video, feel free to reach out if you have any questions.

Here are the key points:
👊 Best Practices Overview: Focus on common SEO problems with React websites rather than all potential issues.
👊 Competitor Benchmarking: Match or exceed competitor SEO practices. Easier crawling by Google results in better rankings.
👊 Server-Side Rendering: Essential for SEO. Client-side rendering often leads to ranking drops.
Google recommends server-side or static rendering to avoid issues with dynamic rendering.
👊 Check Server-Side Rendering: Use methods like inspecting page elements to confirm server-side rendering for your React app.
👊 Resource Management: Optimize resource loading for search engines.
👊 Avoid excessive scripts; use Google Search Console for resource load analysis.
👊 Unique URLs and Metadata: Ensure every page has unique SEO freindly URLs and metadata to help search engines understand your content.
👊 Internal Linking: Keep it simple and standard (e.g., basic anchor tags) to aid SEO.
Website Hierarchy: Maintain a clear hierarchy with prioritized and interlinked pages.
👊 General SEO Rule: Make it easy for search engines to crawl and index your content to stay competitive.
