According to this article Google does index JavaScript generated content and it takes precedence over the static content it replaces.

Which makes sense considering the first point in the quality guidelines.


Make pages primarily for users, not for search engines.


Thus how the page appears to the user is how it is indexed.

SO we are using clickfunnels, and it generates the HTML pages for you, but when we look at the HTML they provided, we realize that the HTML is generated from javascript through their site. ... SEO is a huge concern for us.


Google won't be happy with indexing your site. Google likes unique content.

According to support.google.com/webmasters/answer/35769?hl=en#quality_guidelines google states:

Quality guidelines - specific guidelines

Avoid the following techniques:

- Automatically generated content



So we are wondering, if google search indexes javascript-generated HTML?


There are stories that they do but I wouldn't depend on it.

Also, its best if you can design your site so that the most important parts of it are readable without the need of javascript to promote accessibility (For example, to allow a blind user with a screen reading program to read it).

Google has a spec for AJAX (SPA) applications, developers.google.com/webmasters/ajax-crawling/docs/specification. basically you need to provide the server the same content, but by using classic web site (request-response) technology. I call it a core site.

Only recently did Google start looking through javascript but no one knows exactly what they do with it. Suffice to say they aren't going to render a lot of HTML for anyone's sake. Generating HTML for most of your page is never a good idea for SEO.
