If you've just launched a beautiful new site in Framer — congrats! You're off to a strong start. But here's the thing most creators miss:
Just publishing your site doesn't mean Google knows it exists.
To show up in search results, you need to tell Google your site is live — and you do that through Google Search Console (GSC).
In this tutorial, I’ll show you exactly how to connect your Framer site to GSC, verify it properly, and submit your sitemap so Google starts indexing your pages faster.
Whether you're a designer, freelancer, or building a personal brand — this is a must.

How Do You Submit Your Sitemap?

Google will now begin crawling your site — and over the next few days, you’ll start seeing indexing and keyword data.
What Else Should You Know?
