How to Add a Sitemap to Google Search Console

Steps:

1. Log into your Google Search Console account

   Open your browser and go to Google Search Console. Enter your credentials to sign in.

2. Click on "Sitemaps"

3. Open your sitemap in a new browser tab

   Open a new tab in your browser, go to your website’s URL, and add /sitemap.xml at the end of your domain (e.g., https://yourwebsite.com/sitemap.xml). Once it loads, copy the full URL from the address bar.

4. Paste the sitemap URL

   Go back to the Google Search Console window. In the "Add a new sitemap" field, paste the copied sitemap URL (e.g., https://yourwebsite.com/sitemap.xml).

5. Click "Submit"

   After pasting the URL, click on "Submit" to send the sitemap to Google.

6. Confirm Successful Submission

   A confirmation message will appear showing the submission was successful. After confirming, click "Dismiss" to close the message.
