Question: How can I find my Squarespace sitemap?

Answer

A sitemap is a file where you provide information about the pages, videos, and other files on your site, and the relationships between them. To find your Squarespace sitemap, follow these steps:

  1. Open your web browser
  2. Type in your Squarespace domain followed by "/sitemap.xml", for example: "www.yourwebsite.com/sitemap.xml"
  3. Press enter to load the page

This will display your sitemap in XML format, which is readable by search engines but may be difficult to comprehend as a human. If nothing happens or if you get an error message, make sure that your website is public. Sitemaps don't work when a site is private or password protected.

If you want to submit your sitemap to Google Search Console for better SEO:

  1. Go to Google Search Console.
  2. Click 'Start Now' and sign in to your Google account.
  3. In the Search property drop-down, select your website.
  4. On the left, click Sitemaps.
  5. Enter "sitemap.xml" into the 'Add a new sitemap' box.
  6. Click Submit.

It may take some time (up to a few days) for Google to crawl your site after you've submitted the sitemap.
