Submitting a Sitemap to Search Engines

Search engines like Google will have some specific guidelines and best practices to follow for setting up a site map. ASPDotNetStorerfront does this for you and uses the XML option for formatting the sitemap. When submitting your site map to Google, or any search engine that required XML for indexing, use htttp://yourdomain.com/sitemapfeed

 

Submit your sitemap to Google

There are two different ways to make your sitemap available to Google:

  • Submit it to Google using the Search Console Sitemaps tool:
    ADD/TEST SITEMAP: http://example.com/sitemapfeed
    OR
  • Insert the following line anywhere in your robots.txt file, specifying the path to your sitemap:
