Most Common Sitemap URLs:

What is a sitemap?
A sitemap tells Google which pages and files you think are important in your site, and also provides valuable information about these files: for example, for pages, when the page was last updated, how often the page is changed, and any alternate language versions of a page.

Very helpful. Straight to point and clear. Better than the Google video I was trying to learn from. It was too long and didn't show anything relevant to submitting a sitemap. Thanks for this video

[simonschindeler]

Very straight to the point, exactly what I needed, subscribed!

Hi Ms. Mariah, Should i add the Sitemap to other 3 URL types of my website as well? or just the primary one?

[TimG-lq]

Great video but I have a question: Do you need to add all the sitemap URLs that are listed on the XML Sitemap page to search console? For example you had 3 total sitemaps (/product-sitemap.xml, etc.) - which does not contain the word index in those other 3 URLs. Thank you for the feedback.

[AlexMaggi-ctro]

Thanks Mariah. I was able to do this all the way to the end, and after refreshing the page, The status shows as "Success". Should I be concerned about the next two columns? My site consists of a handful of pages and posts, and I have a few videos playing on loops on some of the pages. Yet it says Discovered pages 0 and Discovered videos 0.

Hi, Great video, Should I submit a sitemap for each of the URL Prefix or just concentrate on the main https property?

[pjaydomingo]

Mariah, I have a question. My Sitemap index it says Success status but when I click the actual sitemap, the list of sub sitemaps "page, posts" has a status red that says "couldn't fetch". I tried refreshing it few times but it's not turning to green. Do you know what causes this? I'll get with Word Press support to help me on this one too. Great video!

[QuiltWithKim]

Thank you! Was completely stuck on how to set up search console which I did with your other video, then followed your end card to come here to submit my sitemap. I have two websites for each side of my business, one is new but the one I have had for over two years...and discovered it didn't have a site map! Doh 🤦🏻‍♀ Anyway, all done now! New sub here :)

[mooreskylights]

Thank you very much. This was great, and worked!!!
