​
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

When you turn on “Discoverable on the web”:
  • 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 won’t show up in search results.

​
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: 
yourdomain.com/sitemap.xml
This sitemap is generated automatically and lists all published presentations on your domain, like a table of contents for search engines, helping them discover all 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.
