Make StoryMap Searchable on Google

EmilyBettler — Thu, 23 Oct 2025 13:58:41 GMT

Hi I would like my StoryMap to be searchable on Google. It is for my wedding website so I’d like to be able to have a map of all the event locations but also let it be searchable on Google since people aren’t going to memorize the link. I am using the most recent updated ArcGIS StoryMaps. My account is public, the map is public, and I have the box checked to make it searched on Google. I am not someone I would consider tech savvy or able to use developer tools. I have a personal use subscription account and am unable to speak to tech support.

@EmilyBettler --I have some good news for you! As of yesterday, StoryMaps created with Personal Use subscription accounts can be indexed by search engines. You may need to unpublish and republish to see this if you published before today. Also, it may take time for your story to appear in search results since it is not predictable how quickly a story will be indexed by various search engines.

Also, just to clarify, StoryMaps created with free, public ArcGIS accounts are not indexed by search engines.
