You can submit your sitemap directly to Google via the Google Search Console. This makes it easier for Google to crawl and index your site.
To submit your sitemap:
- Select your site on your Google Search Console home page.
- Click Crawl.
- Click Sitemaps.
- Click ADD/TEST SITEMAP.
- Type sitemap.xml.
- Click Submit Sitemap.
Notes:
- We recommend submitting your sitemap after making any changes to your website. Such as creating new pages, or adding new images that impact your website.
- In order to successfully submit your sitemap to Google, you must first verify your domain with Google Search Console. Once verified, Google will identify you as the site owner.
