  Do note that this is the most basic of SEO: Actually having the search engine access your content, so it can index it. It is, and has been, a far cry from actual optimization: Giving your content the best possible ranking it deserves. Want to be able to rank for an exact sentence match? Sure, use Angular. Want to actually compete for rankings? Do not build a single-page Angular application. Solid SEO is about optimizing for users, thinking: "would I do this if search engines did not exist?". SEO for Angular apps has become: "Detect and redirect one of the major search engines to a text alternative".
