How do I submit my sitemap to Google?

How to Submit Your Website Sitemap to Google Search Console

Submitting your website sitemap to Google Search Console helps Google understand your website’s structure and get updated information whenever you make changes. Your PhotoBiz Website Package automatically generates an XML sitemap, which helps Google crawl your pages. The sitemap address will be:

https://www.yourdomain.com/sitemap.xml

By submitting your sitemap to Google Search Console, you can track when Google last crawled your website and see which pages have been indexed. This guide will show you how to submit your sitemap for your PhotoBiz website to Google Search Console.

Important Note: Once you set up your sitemap with Google Search Console, Google will crawl it regularly to check for updates. The frequency of crawling is determined by Google.

STEP ONE

Verify Your Domain with Google Search Console

Open a new browser tab and log into your Google Search Console account. If your website has not been verified yet, create a URL Prefix property for your domain and complete the verification process. Google must confirm ownership of your website before allowing sitemap submissions.

If you haven’t verified your website with Google yet, go to Google Search Console and create a URL PREFIX Property.

STEP TWO

Open the Sitemaps Section

After your domain is verified, select your website property in Google Search Console. From the left-hand menu, click on Sitemaps. This section is where Google allows you to submit and monitor sitemap files.

STEP THREE

Submit Your Sitemap

In the Add a new sitemap field, enter sitemap.xml and click Submit. Your full sitemap URL will follow this format:

https://www.yourdomain.com/sitemap.xml

Once submitted, Google will begin processing the sitemap.

FINAL STEP

Confirm Submission and Monitor Indexing

After submission, you will see a confirmation message along with sitemap details. This includes the last time Google crawled your sitemap and how many pages have been discovered and indexed. Google will continue to crawl your sitemap automatically, and crawl frequency is determined by Google.

Your sitemap setup is now complete.

Additional Helpful Notes

PhotoBiz automatically updates your sitemap when pages are added or removed.
You do not need to resubmit your sitemap after making website changes.
Any page with Visible page status is included with the sitemap.
Google may take time to index new pages even after crawling the sitemap.
