How to get your Framer site indexed by Google
Framer generates your sitemap and noindexes staging — here's the go-live checklist.
https://yourdomain.com/sitemap.xml
Framer renders real HTML and auto-generates a sitemap at /sitemap.xml, so Framer sites index well once they're live on a custom domain. The usual issues are publishing to the free framer.website staging URL instead of a custom domain, or leaving a page's search visibility off.
Where your sitemap lives
At yourdomain.com/sitemap.xml once you publish to a custom domain. Framer keeps it updated as you add pages and CMS items. Submit that URL in Google Search Console.
Framer-specific gotchas
- The yoursite.framer.website staging domain is noindexed by Framer — publish to your custom domain and index that.
- Each page has SEO settings including a search-visibility toggle; make sure pages you want found aren't hidden from search.
- CMS collection pages are added to the sitemap once the collection and its template page are published.
- Framer only applies SEO and sitemap changes when you publish — republish after edits.
- Set per-page meta titles and descriptions; Framer won't invent good ones for you.
Step by step
- Connect and publish to your custom domain (not the framer.website staging URL).
- Verify the domain in Google Search Console.
- Submit https://yourdomain.com/sitemap.xml.
- Confirm each important page's search visibility is on and it has a meta title/description, then republish.
- Push the URL through the Indexing API to prompt an immediate crawl.

Where is the Framer sitemap?
At yourdomain.com/sitemap.xml once you publish to a custom domain. Framer generates and maintains it automatically. The free framer.website staging domain is noindexed, so index your custom domain.
Why isn't my Framer site on Google?
Usually because it's only published to the noindexed framer.website staging URL, a page's search visibility is off, or Google hasn't crawled the new custom-domain pages yet. Publish to your domain, check visibility, submit the sitemap, and push the URL.
Does Framer support custom meta tags and canonicals?
Yes — Framer's per-page SEO settings cover meta titles, descriptions, and Open Graph, and it sets canonicals to your custom-domain URLs. Fill them in per page and republish for changes to take effect.
