Google Search Relations team members John Mueller and Martin Splitt discussed vibe coding websites on a recent episode of Search Off The Record. Both found that AI coding tools can produce functional sites quickly but still require specific technical direction. Mueller compared the experience of vibe coding to working with a developer without specializing in search. He found that he got better outcomes by telling the system what he wanted from the start. Mueller also set up pre-publish checks to verify that URLs returned content and that JavaScript files weren't blocked by robots.
