“Unlock the Secrets of SEO: Discover How a Simple WordPress Sitemap Can Transform Your Website!”
Submitting your XML sitemap to search engines
As the purpose of a WordPress XML sitemap is to help search engines find your pages, you might wonder if you need to do anything to let the search engines know about your sitemap.
Thankfully, you typically don’t have to worry about this. Search engines like Google and Bing regularly crawl the web, following links from one site to another. If your site is publicly accessible and linked to from other places, search engines will likely discover your sitemap automatically. Most websites include a link to their sitemap in the site’s robots.txt file, which search engines check by default. This usually helps them to find and use your sitemap without any manual submission.
