Issue
We are currently using Sentry in a system that strongly emphasizes SEO. I would like to ask if there are any best practices, documentation, or resources on how Sentry can be effectively utilized in such environments.

Resolution
While we do not have documentation specifically for SEO, I would recommend focusing on monitoring your web vitals.
Core Web Vitals (LCP, FID, CLS) are crucial for SEO as they are part of Google’s ranking factors under the Page Experience update. They impact user experience, affecting bounce rates and engagement. Faster load times improve user retention and reduce bounce rates. Quick response times enhance user engagement. Stable layouts prevent user frustration.
You can find our web vitals documentation here.
Additionally, you can use a robots.txt file to instruct search bots which sections of your site you want them to crawl (and which parts to avoid). You can read more on robots.txt here.
