Frequently asked questions
- What is an XML sitemap?
- An XML sitemap is a file (usually at yourdomain.com/sitemap.xml) that lists the pages on your site so search engines can find and crawl them efficiently. It's especially important for larger sites and new pages.
- Do I need a sitemap?
- Yes — a sitemap helps Google discover all your pages, especially deeper ones that aren't well linked. Without one, some pages may never get indexed. This checker confirms yours exists and is valid.
- What's a sitemap index?
- If you have more than 50,000 URLs (or want to organise them), you use a sitemap index — a sitemap that points to other sitemaps. This tool detects whether yours is a single sitemap or an index.
- Where do I submit my sitemap?
- Submit it in Google Search Console and reference it in your robots.txt. Need a sitemap built or fixed? We handle that as part of our SEO programmes — book a call.
