So we all no bubble is not ideal for SEO (and I guess GEO). Despite that I managed to have programmatic SEO on my bubble apps marketing pages ranking in top few spots in google and multi 10’s thousands of clicks per month
My bubble app is on my main domain (NOT app.domain.com). This means breaking the marketing pages from the app is not trivial. The app could be moved but it would cause a host of issues on webhooks, google auth and customers owned content.
But there are now amazing options to vibe up your marketing pages and serve as static ultrafast pages.
I also found new product (former webflow CTO, I wont mention the product name here but you can find it). I tried it, and its next level. Its essentially on online agentic system that builds your marketing pages, monitors visitors and competitors, A/B tests, enriches vistors info.. etc.. its ability to replicate you existing pages and 10x them is outstanding.
They can do reverse proxy and other things so that you can serve both your existing app and their pages from your main domain.
Has anyone got any knowledge of doing this with bubble though? I know their custom domain is somehow controlled via cloudflare and we cant access that.
If anyone has experience doing this with their bubble app I’d love to pay for the assistance privately or have any knowledge posted here that anyone wants to share.
I can post the docs to the platform I am talking about. I just dont want this post to be flagged as promotion
Yeah, it’s definitely possible. The basic idea is that the proxy sits in front of your site and decides where each request goes. So requests for your marketing pages are served as static pages, while routes that belong to the bubble app are simply passed through to bubble. To the visitor, it all looks like it’s coming from the same domain.
The part I’d spend the most time validating is how it plays with bubble’s custom domain setup, google auth, and any webhooks you already have in place. That’s usually where the edge cases show up rather than the proxy itself.
I’d be interested to see the docs for the platform you’re referring to. Happy to take a look if you’re still exploring the setup.
Yes @senecadatabase this is correct. I have bubble pages ranking in 1-4 for keywords and am getting qualified clicks (google search console, clicks from search) of 40,000 per month off keywords. So bubble is sufficient for SEO/GEO but its not a top solution.
The issues for me is speed to build, and page experience (speed). If vibe coding is good for anything now and in the future, its for marketing sites (but asterix that with the content and user journey being good). I dont agree with vibe coding for webapps, but websites.. YES
So bubble has no SEO and GEO issue, except for page speed and build speed. While build speed is improving, there are completly agentic website platform coming to market.
When is say “Agentic website platform” I am not meaning vibe coding/site builders. These platform as where your marketing website is an agent - it knows your traffic, customers, enriches leads and builds itself towards your audience, SEO and GEO, paid ad landing pages, A/B testing and CRO.. This is not in the remit of bubble, bubble is an awesome webapp builder
