This tool also helps you to improve the crawling rate of your blog.

And, the second and most important task is to submit your blog/website sitemap to search console.

Here, I’m going to guide you through step by step methods about how to submit website sitemap to Google Search Console.

So, without lost time, let’s get started.

What is a Sitemap?

As the word sounds, a sitemap is actually a map of your website.

When Google crawlers go around the web indexing new web pages in its database, new blogs are usually missed out as only a few or no sites are linking to them as well as they’re not aware of sitemap thing.

A sitemap is either an XML or HTML file that contains all the URLs of the pages inside your blog.

While HTML sitemap helps your visitors to navigate through your blog, an XML sitemap helps the search engine crawlers the same way.

When you submit an XML sitemap to Google Search Console, it helps search engine crawlers to find all the URLs on your website and add it to their database.
