How to give Cursor SEO tasks without breaking routes
SEO fixes often touch metadata, routing, links, and templates, so agent instructions need boundaries.
Problem
Without a scoped task, an agent may rewrite more of the app than the search issue requires.
Symptoms
- Metadata fixes alter navigation or layout.
- Generated routes lose existing behavior.
- The page looks improved but breaks build or links.
How to diagnose
- Identify the affected route or template.
- Separate copy changes from route behavior.
- List build, lint, and browser checks.
How to fix
- Give Cursor the exact route and acceptance criteria.
- Protect unrelated components.
- Verify links, metadata, and responsive layout after changes.
How Search Lighthouse helps
Search Lighthouse fix tasks include scope, evidence, and verification status so coding agents do not guess the SEO strategy.
