Adding a Google sitemap

1 min read

You add a Google sitemap through Search Console (opens in a new tab) – see this guide to adding your website to Search Console.

The sitemap file itself is called sitemap-index.xml, e.g. webshopdemo.dk/sitemap-index.xml

and you can add it under sitemaps for your site.

You will find the Google Sitemap setup in your shop under the Integration menu item

In most cases, the sitemap settings in your shop should be left at their defaults.

Now go to Sitemaps in Google Search Console
