Carrd
How do I get my Carrd page on Google?
Submit the URL itself — a one-page Carrd site doesn't need a sitemap. Verify the domain in Google Search Console (Carrd Pro with a custom domain makes this straightforward), set a real title and description in Carrd's meta settings, and push the URL directly so Google crawls it rather than waiting to stumble on it.
Usually none — a Carrd site is a single URL
Where the Carrd sitemap lives
A one-page Carrd site doesn't need a sitemap; submit the URL itself. Multi-page Pro sites can list their handful of URLs manually.
Why Carrd sections don't get indexed
- Carrd's default meta title is often the site name only. Google will rewrite a weak title, and usually badly.
- Text rendered inside images is invisible to Google. Carrd's design-led templates do this constantly.
- Free carrd.co subdomains can be indexed but rarely rank for anything competitive.
- There's no sitemap, which is fine — but it means Google won't discover the page unless something links to it or you submit it.
- Multi-page Pro sites use fragment-style routing on some templates; make sure each page has a real distinct URL.
Step by step: getting your Carrd page into Google
- Upgrade to Pro and connect a custom domain if you want the page taken seriously.
- Set a specific title and meta description in Carrd's page settings — describe what you do, not just who you are.
- Replace any image-baked text with real HTML text.
- Verify the domain in Google Search Console.
- Submit the URL directly for indexing rather than waiting on discovery.
- Get one or two real links pointing at the page — with no sitemap and one URL, links are your discovery path.
Carrd indexing controls at a glance
- Sitemap — Usually none — a Carrd site is a single URL — A one-page Carrd site doesn't need a sitemap; submit the URL itself. Multi-page Pro sites can list their handful of URLs manually.
- robots.txt — Limited control. Carrd manages robots.txt. Pro plans give you meta and head control, but not per-crawler rules.
- Rendering — Carrd outputs a single small static HTML file — about as crawler-friendly as it gets.
- Hiding a page — Carrd Pro lets you add a noindex meta tag through the page's custom head code; there's no toggle.
- Custom head code — Pro plans allow custom head code per page, which is where JSON-LD and meta tags go.
- llms.txt — A single-page site's content is already fully visible in one fetch — llms.txt would add nothing.
Connect your own Search Console, point IndexerNow at your sitemap, and push new and updated URLs straight to Google's Indexing API and IndexNow — on your account, your quota, no plugin.
Get your pages indexedFrequently asked
Does a Carrd site need a sitemap for Google?
No. With one URL there's nothing for a sitemap to add. Submit the URL directly and make sure at least one other site links to it.
Why isn't my Carrd page on Google?
Usually nothing links to it and it was never submitted, so Google has no discovery path. Occasionally the content is entirely inside images, leaving Google no text to index.
Can I use a custom domain with Carrd?
Yes, on Pro. The free plan is limited to a yourname.carrd.co subdomain, which is not what you want as your indexed address.
Why isn't my Carrd page showing up in AI answers?
Being in Google's index doesn't put you in ChatGPT's answers — those run on Bing plus their own crawlers, and they quote pages built to be quoted. The companion guide covers what Carrd lets you control.

Linktree
You can make a Linktree indexable — turn on its search-engine visibility setting and link to it from your social profiles — but you can't do much more than that, because you don't control the domain, robots.txt, or the sitemap. For anything beyond a name query, put a real page on your own domain instead.
