How do you manage the SEO in a React JS web app?

I use Next.js for my React apps so that all pages are server-rendered and easily indexed by Google. Other than that, SEO is the same for any other app: proper meta tags, back-links, etc. Any issues you're running into specifically?

You need to ensure you have server-side rendering. Gatsby and Next are some good frameworks to use otherwise you can find a tutorial here: https://alligator.io/react/server-side-rendering/

You can also use services like https://prerender.io if you just started a website without server-side-rendering. Of course, I would recommend using SSR for SEO purposes, but prerender.io is a nice tradeoff. And the best part of it? It is completely open-source which means you can host your own prerender service for free :)

React Helmet is a nice component that can help you manage meta tags that are relevant to SEO.

Most search engines deal fine with SPAs nowdays, just make sure the first content your page renders is actually the content you want the search engine to see and that your routes are set-up correctly. I think you can have good SEO in a React JS app without server side rendering.
