My site wasn't showing page content to google. Would never have ranked without fixing it.

    Very good, useful read. Framework specific SEO posts can really help people with a dev background who are still learning SEO. So thanks for this Gatsby-related post - hope you’ll share more of these if you stumble upon them :)

      Thanks! Yeah I just figured I'd get the word out because this could potentially be a huge issue for someone trying to get organic traffic.

      I'll for sure share if I come across any other things like this. Cheers!

    The issue boiled down to how gatsby builds the static HTML for a project. Having a global theme provider can cause this issue.

    To find out if you have this issue with you gatsby blog do the following:

    1. Go to your website (in my case https://www.usepandas.com)
    2. Right click on page.
    3. Select "View Page Source"
    4. Verify all your content is being shown in the page source.

    Before the fix, none of my actual content was showing. My site wouldn't have been turning up for relevant search terms without this fix.

    I fixed the issue on my site by removing the global theme provider.
