XML sitemap
A file listing a site's pages so search engines like Google can find and read them.
What is a sitemap, and how do I submit it to Google Search Console?
A sitemap is a file, usually in XML format, that lists a site's addresses and can note when each one last changed. Search engines use it as a guide to discover pages, especially new ones or ones with few links pointing to them.
It gets submitted in Search Console, Google's free tool for site owners, where you can also see indexing errors and the searches that are actually bringing in visits.
Why it matters to your business
A page Google never discovers can't show up in the results. With an up-to-date sitemap, every new product or article reaches the search engine faster, and Search Console flags it if something got left out.
How we use this at Damorus
At La Roca, the sitemap isn't written by hand: a Node generator produces it together with the product pages and the area pages, and it's submitted to Search Console. The URG Technology store also publishes its own sitemap, and this site generates its from the same project, service, article, and dictionary data.
