I recently faced a major issue while launching my website built with Figma Make. My site was live, but Google wasn’t indexing any pages — and it took me quite some time to figure out why.

 

Here’s what happened and how I fixed it 👇

 

❌ Problem 1: sitemap.xml & robots.txt not working

After publishing, both URLs were showing “Not Found”.

I tried multiple fixes inside Figma but nothing worked.

 

✅ Solution:

I used Cloudflare Workers to host these files properly.

 

- Connected my domain via DNS (Hostinger → Cloudflare)

- Deployed sitemap.xml & robots.txt through Cloudflare

- URLs started working perfectly

❌ Problem 2: Pages not indexing (Noindex issue)

Even after fixing sitemap, Google Search Console showed “Excluded by noindex”

 

😵 This was frustrating because everything else looked correct.

 

---

 

✅ Final Root Cause (Most Important)

In Figma Make settings, I had enabled:

 

👉 “Exclude from search engine results”

 

This means:

 

«Figma was explicitly telling Google NOT to index my website»

 

---

 

💡 Final Fix:

 

- Turn OFF that setting

- Re-submit sitemap in GSC

- Request indexing again

 

✔️ Result: My website is now getting indexed successfully 🎉

🔥 Lesson Learned:

Sometimes the issue is not in code or setup —

it’s just one hidden setting blocking everything.

If you're using Figma Make and facing indexing issues,

👉 CHECK THIS SETTING FIRST.

 

Hope this saves someone hours of struggle 🙌

Easy fix, that most people would miss.

I had a similar issue, and fixing the sitemap and robots files did the trick. After that, I requested indexing again and the pages finally showed up in search.

Double-checking that Google can fetch your robots.txt and sitemap through Search Console usually gives quick clues, and sometimes republishing the site forces Figma to generate them correctly. Once indexing kicks in, I’ve seen a nice boost by adding a few forum backlinks using Crowdo links, since they helped me get some early authority without feeling spammy.
