Replit launches SEO Agent to optimize apps for AI search engines

Replit launched SEO Agent, a specialized tool that audits web applications for search engine visibility and automatically applies technical improvements. Accessible through a new Growth dashboard, the agent scans for crawlability and indexing (adding pages to a search database) to ensure apps are discoverable by both traditional web crawlers and AI-based search engines.

This release extends the platform's strategy of using autonomous agents for post-launch operations, following the Security Agent and App Monitoring tools. Replit now addresses a competitive gap as platforms like Lovable integrate similar AI search discovery features to help projects reach users.

Users can trigger a scan from the Tools menu to identify visibility gaps and let the agent execute fixes before republishing. The system provides a persistent SEO rating in the publishing pane and includes traffic tracking to monitor performance. The tool is available now for all projects hosted on the platform.
