Erm. SEO is neutral term. You may use it for good as well as for bad
:-) But okay, I'll rephrase:

Perhaps make manual's HTML more google-friendly? :-)

For example, I think that this:
<h3>...<code>luaL_argcheck</code>...</h3> should harm the search. It
should be better to leave just <h3> with proper CSS to make it look
nice.

(Note that it is better to consult someone more knowledgeable than me,
tell me if it is needed, and I'll arrange that.)
