How to get Google to index my Google Sites Subpages without a custom domain?

Problem:

I've created a free Google Sites website without a custom domain and am facing issues with Google indexing my subpages. The website is accessible via the official link, unfortunately I can't find the website and its individual pages via Google search.

Current Approach:

I've followed the standard steps to make the Website available online:

  1. I create the Google Site and published it.
  2. I then created a Google Analytics tag and added it to my Google site.
  3. I registered the main URL https://sites.google.com/view/NameOfPage/ in the Google Search Console, and started indexing (months ago).

Question

What I do not understand is if and how the subpages of my Google site page are indexed. I mean https://sites.google.com/view/NameOfPage/SubPage1, https://sites.google.com/view/NameOfPage/SubPage2, ... and so on.

When I try to list them under Indexing/Sitemaps, it complains that these subpages have errors because the sitemap is HTML. But I don't get an XML sitemap from Google pages. So how do I index the main page (https://sites.google.com/view/NameOfPage/) and all its subpages (.../NameOfPage/SubPage1)? Do I need a property in the Google search console for each subpage? I can only add one Google Analytics tag for the whole Google site.

Any help would be appreciated!
