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 another tab or browser window and log into your Google Search Console account.
- If you haven’t verified your website with Google yet, go to Google Search Console and create a URL PREFIX Property.
STEP TWO
Submit Your Sitemap to Google
- After verifying your domain, go to the SITEMAPS section in the left-hand menu of Google Search Console.
STEP THREE
Add Your Sitemap
- In the “Add a new sitemap” section, type in
sitemap.xml
and click Submit.
Once submitted, you'll see a confirmation screen and details like the last time Google crawled your sitemap, and which pages have been indexed.
