Yes, Framer is good for SEO when it is set up properly. Here is the 15-point checklist we use on every Framer site, including AI search (GEO) basics.
Short answer: yes. Framer serves fast, server-rendered HTML, generates a sitemap, lets you set titles, descriptions and Open Graph images per page and per CMS item, and supports redirects and custom code. What hurts Framer sites is not the platform but the setup: default page titles, missing alt text, content hidden inside animations, and one long homepage trying to rank for everything.

What Framer handles for you
Server-rendered pages that search engines and AI crawlers can read without running JavaScript.
An automatic sitemap.xml and robots.txt.
Image optimisation and a global CDN, which help Core Web Vitals.
Clean URLs for pages and CMS collections.
The 15-point Framer SEO checklist
Title template. Set a site-wide template like "{Page} | Brand" so no page ships as "My Framer Site".
One keyword-led title per page. Name the service and the buyer, under 60 characters.
Unique meta descriptions. 140 to 155 characters, written for the person deciding whether to click.
One H1 per page. Use H2 for sections. Stat numbers and labels should be styled text, not headings.
Alt text on every meaningful image. Describe the work, not the file name.
CMS SEO fields. Map title and description to CMS fields so every case study and article is unique.
Content in the HTML. FAQ answers, tabs and carousels must render their text on the page, not only after a click.
Site language. Set it so the html lang attribute is correct.
Redirects. When you rename or migrate pages, add 301 redirects for every old URL.
Structured data. Add Organization, Service and FAQPage schema in the head with custom code.
llms.txt. Upload a short Markdown summary of your company, services and proof for AI assistants.
Search Console and Bing Webmaster Tools. Verify both. ChatGPT search relies on Bing's index.
Page weight. Remove hidden breakpoint layers you do not use, compress video, lazy-load below the fold.
Internal links. Link articles to the service page they support, and services to matching case studies.
One page per buying question. A homepage cannot rank for 30 intents. Build service, industry and comparison pages.
How to get a Framer site cited by ChatGPT and Perplexity
AI assistants quote pages that answer clearly and are confirmed elsewhere. Open each page with a 40 to 60 word answer, use question-shaped headings, put prices, timelines and results in plain text, and keep your company description identical on your site, LinkedIn, Clutch and directories. Studies of AI search consistently find that brand mentions across the web correlate with AI visibility more strongly than backlinks.

FAQ
Is Framer better than WordPress for SEO?
For a marketing site, usually yes: it is faster out of the box and has fewer plugins to maintain. WordPress still wins for very large content sites with complex editorial workflows.
Can I edit robots.txt or add llms.txt in Framer?
Yes, on paid plans you can upload files such as llms.txt in Site Settings under Hosting, and Framer generates robots.txt automatically.
Does Framer support schema markup?
Yes. Paste JSON-LD into the head through Custom Code at site or page level.
