A site is the top-level container for all your location pages. Each site is typically associated with its own domain — for example, if your main website is at example.com, you might host location pages at locations.example.com. When you first create a site, it gets a temporary placeholder domain so you can preview pages before connecting your final domain.
Note: This article covers net-new Pages sites. If you're an existing Pages customer looking to access these capabilities, contact your account team.
Create a Site
- Navigate to Pages > All Sites.
- Click Create Site.
- Give your site a descriptive name, such as "Locations Site."
- Optionally, upload a favicon — the small icon browsers display in tabs and bookmarks next to your site name.
- A square PNG with a simple design and a transparent background works best.
- Click Create Site.
Once your site is created, you'll be prompted to create your first page group. This is where you define which entities will have pages and what those pages will look like.
Tip: Next step: Create and Manage Page Groups — set up the entity scope, URL structure, and layout for your location pages.
Connect a Domain
Your site launches with a placeholder domain. Connect your production domain before publishing.
For full steps — including the pre-launch checklist and CNAME setup — see Manage Domains.
