My AI-built app doesn't show up on Google

The app is live, but searching for it on Google finds nothing. Not even its own name.

First: is it hidden on purpose?

In our tests of newly launched AI-built apps, some were telling search engines to stay away without the owner knowing. Check:

1. Open your live site, right-click → View page source, and search for noindex. If you find <meta name="robots" content="noindex">, Google is being told not to list the page.
2. Open https://yourdomain.com/robots.txt. If it says Disallow: / under User-agent: *, every search engine is blocked.
3. Open https://yourdomain.com/sitemap.xml. If it's missing, Google has no list of your pages.

Then: make it easy to read

AI builders usually make apps whose text is drawn by JavaScript after the page loads. Google can read those, but more slowly and less reliably. Help it:

• Give every page a real title and description that say what it is.
• Put your main message in the page's text, not only in images.
• Make sure the home page shows something useful before any sign-up wall. A page that only says "Log in" gives Google nothing to list.

Then: tell Google you exist

1. Add your site to Google Search Console (free) and verify you own it.
2. Submit your sitemap.xml there.
3. Use URL inspection → Request indexing for your home page.
4. New sites usually take days to a few weeks to appear.

Search is only step one

Once people find you, their first visit has to work. Paste your app's link at vibe-fixer.com: an AI agent goes through it like a first customer and tells you how many problems it finds. Free, no account.
