Head over to your blog’s SEO settings from your dashboard.
Here along with other SEO settings, you can also toggle on “Let Google index this Blog”. Once this is on, save and regenerate the blog and you will have a sitemap generated for your blog.
You can view this at yourblogurl.com/sitemap.xml
You can choose not to index certain pages. Go to the page’s Notion row, and choose the Do_not_index option.
<aside> 👉🏻
This will remove this page from your sitemap, but as long as it’s published, it will be visible on your blog site.
</aside>
If you have private pages (Pages with Make_private_page ticked), they are not visible anywhere on the site.
But by default they are visible in the sitemap.
This is done so that you can enjoy the SEO benefits of the page, and allow it to be ranked while simply not having a link for it on your main site.
If you want this to be hidden from the sitemap as well please tick Do_not_index as well.
