What Is App SEO?
App SEO connects your app to two kinds of reader. One reader is a person who sees your link in a search result or in a chat. The other reader is a crawler, from a search engine or an AI assistant, that decides what your page is about. App SEO gives both readers clear facts.

|---|---|---|
| Google Search Console verification | Proves that you own the app address | Every plan, Free included |
robots.txt, sitemap.xml, llms.txt |
Guide crawlers and AI assistants | Every plan, automatic |
| Page title, description, social image, search visibility | What search results and shared links show | Business and up |
| Google Analytics ID and app language | Visitor measurement and language labels | Business and up |
| Custom domain | Your own address, such as portal.yourbrand.com |
Pro and up |

The checklist grades the draft in front of you, not the live app. A green check means that Taskade uses the value on your next publish.
Stay Hidden on Purpose
Not every app belongs in search. An internal tool or a client portal often does not. Set search visibility to Don't index or Block completely, and the three crawler files stop answering. A site-wide password has the same effect on robots.txt, because a crawler cannot read the pages anyway. The checklist marks a hidden choice gray, not as an error.
When to Use App SEO
Use App SEO for a public app: a storefront, a booking page, a lead form or a free tool. On Business and up, fill in the title and the description first, because a person reads them before the click. Then add a custom domain so the address carries your brand. To list the app in the Taskade App Factory too, open Let others clone when you publish and choose Free or Paid. Then people who browse for kits can find it.
