Introduction
Publishing your site in Gamma is the first step—but making it discoverable in search engines is just as important. This guide explains how Google indexing works and what steps you can take to improve your site's visibility on the web.
What is Google Indexing?
Google Indexing is the process by which Google adds your site pages to its search results. For your site to appear on Google, it must first be "crawled" (discovered) and then "indexed" (added to the search database).
Gamma sites can be indexed like any other website—but they must be linked to externally or manually submitted for indexing to be found. Currently, Google indexing is only supported for Pro subscribers. Free and Plus users cannot have their Gamma sites indexed at this time.
How to Request Indexing for Your Gamma Site
Step 1: Link to Your Site Externally
Google discovers new pages by following links from existing websites. Make sure your site is linked from one or more of the following:
Your social media profiles (e.g., LinkedIn, Twitter/X, Instagram bio)
Your personal website or blog
Public forums, online communities, or online directories
Another Gamma site that is already indexed
Pro Tip: Without external links, Google may not be able to find your site naturally.
Step 2: Use Google Search Console
If you want to speed up the process, you can manually submit your site to Google using Google Search Console.
Go to Google Search Console.
Add your site as a property (using the full URL of your Gamma site or custom domain).
Verify ownership using the recommended method (usually HTML tag or DNS settings).
Once verified, use the URL Inspection Tool to check the indexing status.
Step 3: Request Indexing
Paste your site’s URL into the URL Inspection Tool.
Click Request Indexing if it hasn’t been indexed yet.
Repeat this step for any additional subpages you want to ensure are indexed.
