Fix the Lovable "Vite + React" title tag bug in 5 minutes

Open any Lovable project, deploy it, then open every page in a separate tab. Look at the browser tab titles. They almost certainly all read "Vite + React", or your project name, on every single page.

That's the title tag — and it's the single most important on-page ranking signal Google uses. When every page has the same title, Google treats them as duplicates and ranks none of them well.

Lovable's TanStack Start template defines title in the root route's head(). Child routes inherit it unless they override it. Most generated routes never set their own title, so the root one wins on every page.

In every route file, add a head option that returns the page's own title and meta description:

// src/routes/pricing.tsx
import { createFileRoute } from "@tanstack/react-router";

export const Route = createFileRoute("/pricing")({
  component: PricingPage,
  head: () => ({
    meta: [
      { title: "Pricing — Acme | Invoicing for freelancers" },
      { name: "description",
        content: "Simple per-invoice pricing. No subscriptions. UK & EU VAT handled." },
      { property: "og:title", content: "Acme pricing" },
      { property: "og:description",
        content: "Simple per-invoice pricing. No subscriptions." },
    ],
  }),
});

Do this for every route file in src/routes/. It takes about 30 seconds per page.

For most B2B and SaaS pages this format wins:

Primary Keyword — Benefit | Brand

Examples: "Free invoice generator — UK VAT included | Acme" / "Lovable SEO audit — free 14-point report | RankLovable".

Keep it 50–60 characters. Google truncates anything longer in search results.

For dynamic routes (blog posts, products, profiles), build the title from loader data:

export const Route = createFileRoute("/blog/$slug")({
  loader: ({ params }) => fetchPost(params.slug),
  head: ({ loaderData }) => ({
    meta: [
      { title: `${loaderData.title} | Acme Blog` },
      { name: "description", content: loaderData.excerpt },
    ],
  }),
});

Re-deploy. Open every page. The browser tab title should change. Then run your sitemap through Screaming Frog (free up to 500 URLs) and confirm every URL has a unique title.

Of all the SEO fixes for AI-built sites, this single change moves the needle fastest. We've seen Lovable sites jump from page 4 to page 1 inside a week off this fix alone.
