How do I get google to crawl my meteor website

I have tried quite a few things including the spiderable and ms-seo packages, but nothing seems to work. I tried setting the fragment meta tag but google webmaster tools still seems to fetch a document which is missing the header tags (inserted using ms-seo) and an empty body. I’m sure there is a concrete solution out there since I can’t be the only one trying to get Google to crawl my meteor website. Any help is appreciated.

Is there an free alternative to Prerender, for an application that has a lot of pages and doesn’t plan on monetizing?

I believe that you can setup your own istance: https://github.com/prerender/prerender (MIT licensed) but I don’t have expirience with this yet.
