How to Get Your Bubble Site Indexed in 2025

Indexing is the process search engines use to crawl your website, understand its content, and store it in their database. A well indexed site is more likely to appear in relevant search results, boosting visibility, attracting more visitors and increasing organic traffic.

Now that you have a basic understanding of indexing and why you should care, let’s take a look at how you can get your Bubble site indexed as soon as possible. Picture this, you’ve built a sleek Bubble app, user friendly, feature rich and ready to scale. But when you search for your core keywords, your site is nowhere to be found. Meanwhile, competitors with clunkier sites dominate the rankings. What gives?

Bubble’s no code agility comes with a hidden tax: indexing hurdles. In 2025, Google’s evolved algorithms and emphasis on user experience have made it harder than ever for Bubble sites to earn their spot in search results. Consider this:

  • 38% of Bubble pages aren’t indexed due to client-side rendering issues 53% of Bubble built sites fail Core Web Vitals out of the box, crippling crawl efficiency.

The No Code SEO Struggle

Bubble’s heavy use of client side rendering (CSR) combined with dynamic URLs often leads to significant indexing challenges:

  • JavaScript Overload: Googlebot struggles to execute Bubble’s JavaScript-heavy pages fully, leaving critical content unrendered.

  • Dynamic URL Chaos: Auto-generated URLs like /page?=123 lack semantic clarity, confusing crawlers.

  • Lazy Loading Traps: Images and text loaded via Intersection Observer often miss initial crawls.

2. Technical SEO Optimisation

Step 1: Force Static Like Behavior

  • Pre-Render Critical Pages: Use Bubble’s HTML Embed plugin to inject static content (headers, product descriptions) directly into the HTML.

  • Canonicalize Dynamic URLs: Add rel=canonical tags to point duplicate pages (e.g., filtered views) to a master URL.

Step 2: Fix Core Web Vitals

  • Compress Images at Upload: Use Image Optimizers to auto resize images to max-width: 1600px and convert to WebP.

  • Lazy Load Non-Essential JS: Delay non-critical scripts (chat widgets, animations) until after page load.

  • Preconnect to Third Parties: Add <link rel="preconnect" href="https://fonts.gstatic.com"> to speed up font loading.

4 steps to index a Bubble site in 2025: create sitemap, submit sitemap, submit pages and use IndexPlease for auto indexing.

1. Create an XML sitemap

To help search engines access your content efficiently, start by generating an XML sitemap.

It guides crawlers through your site, making the indexing process faster and more reliable.

Each platform has its own method for handling sitemap submissions, but there’s no need to stress. We’ve put together step-by-step guides for all the major search engines to walk you through the process. Explore these guides to get started**:**

3. Submit your pages

Submitting your sitemap is just the first step. After that, you have two options, you can either wait for search engines to index your pages on their own, which could take weeks or longer or submit them manually.
