Overview

By default, published projects are accessible via their link but not indexed by search engines. You can change this with the Discoverable on the web toggle.

Enabling discoverability

  1. Click Share in the editor top bar
  2. Open the Publish tab
  3. Click Settings
  4. Turn on Discoverable on the web
When enabled:
  • Search engines (Google, Bing, etc.) can crawl and index your content
  • Your project may appear in search results
  • Your sitemap is automatically generated
When disabled, your project is still accessible via direct link; it just will not show up in search results.
Discoverability requires a paid plan.
Publish settings with access, social link preview, and web discoverability controls
From Share → Publish → Settings → Link preview, you can also customize how your project appears when shared on social networks and messaging apps: title, description, preview image, and favicon. (Customizing the link preview also requires a paid plan.)

Setup by domain type

Faces subdomains

If your project is on a Faces subdomain (e.g., yourproject.faces.site):
  1. Toggle Discoverable on the web on
  2. Publish your project
  3. Indexing is handled automatically

Custom domains

If you’re using a custom domain:
  1. Enable discoverability and publish
  2. Verify domain ownership in Google Search Console
  3. Submit your URL for indexing
  4. Monitor performance in Search Console

Multiple presentations on one domain

If you have multiple presentations published on the same custom domain, submit your sitemap to Google Search Console:
This sitemap is generated automatically and lists every discoverable presentation on your domain (those with the Discoverable on the web toggle enabled), like a table of contents for search engines, helping them discover your content faster.

Tips

  • Use descriptive project titles and slide content; search engines index your text.
  • Custom domains tend to rank better over time than subdomains.
  • Check Google Search Console regularly to monitor indexing status and fix any issues.
