Building for the web goes beyond speed and aesthetics, discoverability matters just as much. While AI can accelerate web development, it often skips over performance, accessibility, or SEO best practices that matter for discoverability. With [v0](https://v0.dev), you don’t have to compromise. Every interface you generate is fast, accessible, and SEO-optimized by default.

v0 integrates with Next.js and deploys to Vercel, giving you structured metadata, performance tuning, and [Server Side Rendering](https://vercel.com/docs/frameworks/nextjs#server-side-rendering-ssr) (SSR). The result is better [Core Web Vitals](https://developers.google.com/search/docs/appearance/core-web-vitals), pages that load quickly and return full HTML, making them easier for search engines to crawl and index.

## SEO-optimized from your first prompt

Good SEO starts with performance. Google uses Core Web Vitals to measure how real users experience your site, focusing on loading speed, responsiveness, and layout shift. v0 generates code that automatically applies Next.js optimizations to improve these signals, including:

- Native [image optimization](https://nextjs.org/docs/pages/building-your-application/optimizing/images) with `next/image`
- [Font optimization](https://nextjs.org/docs/app/building-your-application/optimizing/fonts) without layout shifts
- Smart JavaScript bundling and prefetching

This gives your site the technical foundation to support instant page loads, low blocking time, and a consistent visual experience, all key factors for ranking higher in search results.

### Metadata done right

v0 includes built-in support for metadata and structured data using Next.js conventions. Pages come preconfigured with tags that improve how your site appears in search results and social previews.

Every deployment includes:

- SEO-friendly title and meta description management
- Automatic Open Graph and Twitter Card generation
- JSON-LD support for rich snippets in search

Without this metadata, search engines may rank your site lower or display it with missing context. v0 handles it for you from the start.

### Mobile-first, responsive by design

v0 generates designs that are optimized for mobile. Every layout adapts fluidly across screen sizes, using responsive design patterns that work on phones, tablets, and desktops. Google prioritizes mobile usability in it's index, and with v0, you don't need to configure breakpoints or refactor components. The responsiveness is built in from the start.

### Accessibility as a ranking signal

Search engines rely on semantic structure to understand and index content. v0 outputs accessible components that follow modern standards, using proper HTML tags, [ARIA attributes](https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/Accessibility/ARIA), and labels. This improves how crawlers interpret your site and how users navigate it with assistive technology. Accessibility improves usability, and it directly supports better SEO.

## Powered by Vercel infrastructure and tooling

When you deploy a v0 project, it runs on a platform optimized for global performance and reliability. With automatic edge caching, real-time [Incremental Static Regeneration](https://nextjs.org/docs/app/building-your-application/data-fetching/incremental-static-regeneration) (ISR), and privacy-friendly analytics, your sites stay fast, available, and easy to monitor all while maintaining SEO integrity.

### Server Side Rendering by default

v0 uses the Next.js App Router and Server Components out of the box. Your deployed websites are server-rendered by default, with full HTML returned at the time of the request, giving crawlers direct access to real content and improves how quickly your site gets indexed.

SSR brings two major advantages:

- Faster initial load and first paint for users
- Stronger scores in Google’s page experience metrics like [Largest Contentful Paint](https://developer.chrome.com/docs/lighthouse/performance/lighthouse-largest-contentful-paint) (LCP) and [Interaction to Next Paint](https://developers.google.com/search/blog/2023/05/introducing-inp) (INP)

Because your site runs on Vercel’s [Global Edge Network](https://vercel.com/docs/edge-network), both users and crawlers get the fastest response possible, regardless of location.

### Built-in analytics, no third-party scripts

Deploying to Vercel from v0 includes access to [Vercel Analytics](https://vercel.com/docs/analytics) and [Speed Insights](https://vercel.com/docs/speed-insights), giving you a look into real user behavior without relying on invasive trackers or third-party cookies. Unlike legacy platforms that compromise privacy for data collection, Vercel’s approach is fully server-side and GDPR compliant by design.

Measure key SEO signals like Core Web Vitals, page load times, and bounce rates in real time. Because the data reflects real-world usage across devices, you get a clear picture of how Google sees your site.

# Start building

With v0 and Vercel, SEO is not something you add later. It’s built into the way pages are rendered, served, and measured. Every deployment uses server-rendered HTML, optimized assets, and structured metadata to meet modern search standards. You don’t need to configure plugins, manage tags, or stitch together third-party tools.
