SEO for Local Business - Quick Question!

I run a little local business and I am in the process of expanding my online presents.

I intend to create some landing pages for the various areas that we cover along with landing pages for the various activities in the the areas we cover however I am concerned about my navigation bar getting cluttered.

I can see the benefit of creating a specific page focusing on what we do for individual areas but if I did this 20 times it would look a mess in the nav.
Is there a way I can hide the pages in the nav but they are still there and searchable?

Are you using wordpress? If so you can create a custom nav bar that will allow you to put whatever pages you want on it. The rest of the pages that are not on the nav should still be searchable.

Yes I am. Tbh though I am still struggling with a previous nav bar. I tried making a second for an online store which didn't exactly go as planned.
I don't really want 3 nav bars, that would get way confusing.

You might be able to just make one that uses pull down menus that will work for everything.

I use a plugin called "Exclude Pages from Navigation"

So, if I create a page and don't add it to my navbar will it be searchable in Google?
I am guessing not unless I have a sitemap which I do not.

If you have no sitemap and no links to the page, the odds are Google will not find the page, or if it doesn't it likely won't rank it.

You can just use the google sitemap plugin to list the pages so Google can see them.

Create a sitemap and add the links to the footer menu.
But the pages will be indexed anyway because wordpress will ping all your new post/page published
