How do I get my Weebly site on Google?

Where the Weebly sitemap lives

Weebly generates the sitemap automatically for published sites.

Why Weebly pages don't get indexed

• Weebly has a sitewide setting that hides the entire site from search engines. If nothing is indexed at all, check that first.
• Republishing is required for edits to reach the live site and the sitemap. Saving in the editor isn't enough.
• Free sites live on yoursite.weebly.com — index your custom domain instead, or you're building authority for a URL you don't own.
• Weebly leaves page titles as the page name by default, which produces near-duplicate titles across the site.
• Product and blog pages have their own SEO settings, separate from the page settings — both need filling in.

Step by step: getting your Weebly site into Google

1. Connect a custom domain in Settings → Domains and publish.
2. In Settings → SEO, confirm the site is not hidden from search engines.
3. Verify the domain in Google Search Console.
4. Submit https://yourdomain.com/sitemap.xml under Sitemaps.
5. Write a unique title and meta description for each page in its SEO settings.
6. Push new pages through the Indexing API so Google crawls them in hours rather than waiting on a sitemap recrawl.

Weebly indexing controls at a glance

• Sitemap — https://yourdomain.com/sitemap.xml — Weebly generates the sitemap automatically for published sites.
• robots.txt — Limited control. Weebly manages robots.txt and exposes only a sitewide search-engine visibility setting — you can't write per-crawler rules.
• Rendering — Weebly serves rendered HTML; crawlers see the text without running JavaScript.
• Hiding a page — Per page: the page's SEO settings include a "Hide this page from search engines" option.
• Custom head code — Settings → SEO has a header code area, and per-page SEO settings have their own — both accept JSON-LD.
• llms.txt — No arbitrary root files. Keep the sitemap tidy and publish a clean links page instead.
