Fix Next.js Web App Indexing Issue

Job Description
Project Overview:
We are currently facing indexing issues with our web application built on Next.js (App/Pages Router). While the site is live, pages are not being properly crawled or indexed by Google. We are looking for a freelancer with a deep understanding of both the Next.js framework and advanced technical SEO to identify the root cause and implement a permanent fix.

Responsibilities:

Technical SEO Audit: Analyze Google Search Console data to identify crawl errors, check for accidental noindex tags, and optimize the crawl budget.

Rendering & Hydration Analysis: Verify if SSR (Server-Side Rendering) or SSG (Static Site Generation) processes are being correctly executed and seen by Googlebot.

Metadata & Structured Data: Optimize dynamic meta tags, canonical URLs, and JSON-LD schemas specifically within the Next.js architecture.

Performance & Core Web Vitals: Ensure that LCP, CLS, and FID metrics are optimized to prevent any SEO ranking or indexing penalties.

Sitemap & Robots.txt: Validate and fix the dynamic sitemap generation and robots.txt configuration.

Requirements:

Proven experience with Next.js architecture (Server Components, Hydration cycles, and Middleware).

Expertise in Google Search Console and technical SEO tools (e.g., Screaming Frog, Ahrefs, or Semrush).

Strong understanding of how Googlebot processes JavaScript-heavy applications.

Portfolio or case studies demonstrating previous success in resolving complex indexing issues.
