How to Find and Control Your XML Sitemap in PhotoBiz

Your PhotoBiz website automatically includes an XML sitemap that is generated and updated in real time. This sitemap helps search engines like Google and Bing discover and index your website pages.

You cannot manually edit your sitemap in PhotoBiz. Instead, your sitemap is controlled by your page visibility settings. This guide shows you how to locate your sitemap URL and explains how to control which pages are included.

How Your Sitemap Works

Your XML sitemap is fully automated and requires no manual setup or maintenance.

Here’s how it functions:

Only pages set to Visible are included in your sitemap
Pages set to Hidden are excluded from the sitemap
The sitemap always uses the canonical https://www version of your URLs
Updates happen automatically when you add, remove, or edit pages

This ensures search engines always index the correct and most up-to-date version of your website.

PRO TIP!

If you are using landing pages that you do not want shown in your main navigation but still want indexed by search engines, leave those pages set to Visible. You can place them inside a navigation dropdown that is set to Hidden so they remain accessible to search engines without appearing in your main menu.

STEP ONE

Log into your PhotoBiz account and click WEBSITE from the left-hand menu. This opens the Website control panel for your site.

STEP TWO

Click TRACKING at the top center of the Website control panel. This section contains your website’s tracking and SEO-related settings.

FINAL STEP

Locate your Sitemap URL in the Tracking section.

Your sitemap is automatically generated and continuously updated as you make changes to your website. You can copy this URL and submit it to search engines like Google Search Console or Bing Webmaster Tools to improve your site’s visibility.

Additional Options or Helpful Notes

Controlling what appears in your sitemap

Set a page to Visible if you want it included in your sitemap
Set a page to Hidden if you want it removed from your sitemap
Pages do not need to appear in your navigation menu to be indexed

Using landing pages for SEO

You can keep pages visible for search engines while hiding them from navigation
Place those pages inside a navigation dropdown that is set to Hidden

This allows search engines to access the page without displaying it in your main menu.
