How do you balance technical SEO recommendations with development constraints?

For example, instead of saying "implement SSR", define the requirement as:

Important content and links must be reliably available to users and search engines.

Engineering can then evaluate SSR, SSG, pre-rendering, hydration or another architecture.

A good SEO-development workflow is:

SEO problem → technical requirement → implementation options → effort/risk assessment → implementation → SEO validation

The SEO should understand enough engineering to discuss trade-offs, but should not dictate implementation without understanding the application's architecture.

Google notes that server-side or pre-rendering can be beneficial because it makes websites faster for users and crawlers, while Google can also process JavaScript.
