The Pre-Launch SEO Checklist I Use for Every SaaS Landing Page

Before you spend a dollar on ads, make sure your landing page is SEO-ready. Here is the exact checklist I use before launching any SaaS product page.

1. Title Tag (50-60 chars)

Include your primary keyword. Keep it under 60 characters so it does not get truncated in Google.

Bad: "Welcome to Our Amazing Product"
Good: "AI Podcast Title Generator - Free Tool by PodCrisp"

2. Meta Description (120-160 chars)

This is your ad copy in search results. Include a call to action.

3. Open Graph Tags

When someone shares your link on Twitter/Slack/LinkedIn, OG tags control the preview. Without them, your link looks broken.

Required OG tags:

  • og:title
  • og:description
  • og:image (1200x630px recommended)
  • og:url

4. Canonical URL

Prevents duplicate content issues. Every page should have one.

5. Robots.txt and Sitemap

Make sure your robots.txt allows crawlers and your sitemap.xml is submitted to Google Search Console.

6. Page Speed

Use PageSpeed Insights. Target: under 3 seconds load time.

7. Mobile Responsive

Over 60% of searches are mobile. If your page breaks on mobile, you lose.
