What
Once the help center gets its custom domain (e.g. help.whip.run), add the global canonical metatag to docs.json:
"seo": {
"indexing": "all",
"metatags": {
"canonical": "https://help.whip.run"
}
}Mintlify appends each page's path to this base automatically.
Why
Per Mintlify's SEO docs, a global canonical consolidates ranking signals when the docs are reachable from more than one host (the default *.mintlify.app subdomain + the custom domain). Right now Mintlify auto-generates per-page canonicals from the serving URL, which is correct behavior until the custom domain exists — setting it early to a domain that isn't live yet would hurt indexing rather than help.
When
Blocked on: custom domain being configured in the Mintlify dashboard.
Also noted in AGENTS.md → "SEO maintenance" so it doesn't get lost.
