How to add a sitemap in Bubble

The short version: Bubble auto‑generates a sitemap for every app. You don’t upload or create it manually. You simply enable it in Settings → SEO / metatags, then Bubble gives you a sitemap URL (usually yourdomain.com/sitemap.xml). If you want dynamic pages in the sitemap, you must check the option "Expose this page to search engines" on that page and make sure the page has an accessible slug or URL pattern.

How Bubble’s sitemap actually works

Bubble creates the sitemap.xml for you. You cannot edit the XML directly in Bubble. What you control is which pages Bubble includes. Any page where you check "Expose this page to search engines" becomes part of the sitemap.

• Static pages → automatically listed.
• Dynamic pages (like /product/slug) → only listed if the page uses a Thing with a slug field and the Things are publicly searchable (via privacy rules).

Steps to add / enable your sitemap

• Go to Settings → SEO / metatags.
• Scroll to the Sitemap section and turn on sitemap generation.
• Copy the sitemap URL Bubble shows (ex: https://yourdomain.com/sitemap.xml).
• Submit that URL to Google Search Console or other search engines.

Preparing pages so they appear in sitemap

• Open the page in the editor, click the page element, enable "Expose this page to search engines".
• If it’s a dynamic page (like viewing one Product), make sure your Product has a slug. Bubble uses slugs to generate clean sitemap links.
• Check privacy rules so the data is publicly readable; otherwise Google can’t crawl the generated URLs.

Quick example of generating slugs

// Workflow: When Product is created → Make changes to Product
slug = This Product's name:slugify

This ensures each Product has a URL like /product/my-nice-item, which Bubble will add to the sitemap automatically.
