Build a fast, semantic website that search engines and AI systems can understand

Publii builds your website locally on your computer, then generates a complete set of static files and publishes them to your server. When someone opens a page, the published site does not need to query a database or run server-side PHP to assemble the content. The server can deliver the pre-generated HTML directly.

This architecture gives SEO for static websites a straightforward technical base. The primary content is already present in the HTML, URLs can use a readable structure, and pages can be served without database overhead. Publii also includes settings for page titles, meta descriptions, robots directives, structured data, Open Graph tags and XML sitemaps.

The same SEO fundamentals apply to Google AI Overviews and AI Mode. A page must be indexed and eligible to appear in Google Search with a snippet before it can be shown as a supporting link. Google does not require a special AI file, a separate AI schema or a different version of the page.

Clear headings, accessible HTML, descriptive metadata and a good page experience help people and crawling systems use your content. Publii provides the technical foundation, but it cannot guarantee rankings or inclusion in AI features. Visibility also depends on content quality and relevance, competition, links from other websites and the site's actual performance.
