Organic search drives roughly 53% of all website traffic ([BrightEdge research](https://www.brightedge.com/resources/research-reports/channel_share)). Rocket gives your site a basic SEO foundation out of the box, but you need to ask it to add optimized meta tags, structured data, and sitemaps to compete for rankings. Once your site is [launched](/build/launch-web/launch-your-site), search engines can start crawling it.

## What Rocket includes by default

Every Rocket site starts with these SEO basics:

* Clean, semantic HTML structure
* Page titles based on your content
* Basic meta descriptions
* Mobile-responsive layouts, which Google uses as a [ranking factor](https://developers.google.com/search/docs/appearance/mobile)

<Tip>
  These defaults give you a head start, but targeted optimization through meta tags and structured data is what moves rankings.
</Tip>

## What you can ask Rocket to add

Tell Rocket in chat what to add. Below are the most common requests.

### Optimized meta tags

Ask Rocket to generate keyword-aware meta tags for your pages:

* **Title tags** that target your primary keyword
* **Meta descriptions** that summarize each page for search results
* **Open Graph tags** for rich previews on Facebook and LinkedIn
* **Twitter cards** for previews on X (Twitter)

```plaintext wrap theme={null}
Add optimized meta tags to all pages. Include Open Graph tags and Twitter cards for social sharing.
```

### Structured data (JSON-LD)

<Tooltip headline="JSON-LD" tip="A format that embeds machine-readable data in your HTML so search engines understand your content's meaning, not just its text.">Structured data</Tooltip> helps search engines understand your content beyond the visible text. Ask Rocket to add schemas like:

* **Organization** for your business name, logo, and contact info
* **Product** for pricing, availability, and reviews
* **Article** for author, publish date, and headline
* **FAQ** for question-and-answer pairs surfaced directly in search results
* **Breadcrumb** for navigation paths in search result display

```plaintext wrap theme={null}
Add JSON-LD structured data to my site. Include Organization schema on the homepage and Product schema on product pages.
```

### Sitemap and robots.txt

A sitemap tells search engines which pages to crawl. A robots.txt file controls which pages to exclude.

```plaintext wrap theme={null}
Generate an XML sitemap and robots.txt file for my site. Allow search engines to crawl all public pages.
```

### Internal linking

Links between your pages help search engines discover content and help visitors find related information. [Accessible markup](/build/polish/accessibility) (semantic headings, ARIA labels) also improves how well search engines parse your content.

```plaintext wrap theme={null}
Add internal links between related pages on my site. Link the blog posts to relevant product pages.
```
