How can I resolve the issue with deindexing a subdomain and generating a sitemap in Webflow?

To resolve the issue of deindexing a subdomain and generating a sitemap in Webflow, you can follow these steps:

1. Verify your subdomain: First, ensure that your subdomain is properly verified with Google Search Console. This will allow you to have more control over the indexing and sitemap generation process.

2. Check your subdomain's settings in Webflow: Go to your Webflow project settings and navigate to the Hosting tab. Ensure that your subdomain is correctly configured and marked as "noindex" is unchecked. This will allow search engines to index your subdomain.

3. Generate a sitemap: Webflow has a built-in sitemap feature that automatically generates a sitemap for all the pages on your main domain. However, by default, it doesn't include subdomains. To include your subdomain in the sitemap, you'll need to add the subdomain as a separate project in Webflow and set up a separate sitemap for it.

a. Create a new project for your subdomain in Webflow: Duplicate your main project in Webflow to create a separate project for your subdomain. This will allow you to have separate control over its settings, including the sitemap.

b. Configure the sitemap for your subdomain: In the project settings of your subdomain project, go to the SEO tab and enable the "Include in sitemap" option. This ensures that the subdomain's pages are included in the sitemap.

4. Submit the sitemap to search engines: Once you have generated the sitemap for your subdomain in Webflow, you can submit it to search engines like Google Search Console or Bing Webmaster Tools. These tools will allow you to manually submit your sitemap and ensure that search engines properly index your subdomain's pages.

5. Monitor indexing progress: After you've completed the steps above, it's essential to monitor the indexing progress of your subdomain. Keep an eye on the Google Search Console to see if there are any issues or errors that need to be addressed. Additionally, regularly check the search engine results pages (SERPs) to ensure your subdomain's pages are being properly indexed.

By following these steps, you should be able to resolve the issue of deindexing a subdomain and generating a sitemap in Webflow. Remember to review the settings in both Webflow and the respective search engine tools to ensure everything is properly configured.
