The 6 most common Ghost SEO issues
What we find on the average Ghost site within the first scan.
Missing OG image on member-only posts
Public previews of locked posts ship without OG image fallback. We flag and fix.
Code injection meta drift
Site-wide head code conflicts with per-post meta, flagged with the conflict location.
Tag pages thin / indexable
Default Ghost tag archives ship indexable with only a title and post list.
Missing structured data on members content
BlogPosting schema absent on member-gated posts.
Slow newsletter-related JS
Subscribe widgets block hydration on slow connections.
Sitemap missing custom pages
Ghost auto-sitemap excludes static pages created via the editor.
Why a Ghost-specific audit matters
- Ghost gives you control, and a lot of room to ship a fast site wrong.
- We integrate with the Ghost Admin API: auto-fix for meta, OG, and structured data on every post.
- Findings reference the Ghost admin: Settings → Code injection, Post Settings → Meta data.
- Works on Ghost(Pro) and self-hosted Ghost installs.
