Submitting your sitemap to Google Search Console is a critical step in ensuring your site is crawled and indexed efficiently. It tells Google which URLs to prioritize and monitor for updates.
Log in to Google Search Console, select your property, and navigate to the 'Sitemaps' section. Enter the full URL of your sitemap (e.g., https://yourdomain.com/sitemap.xml) and click submit. Google will then begin processing it for crawling.
Monitor your sitemap's status in the Search Console to catch any crawl errors or indexation issues early. Regular submissions and updates help maintain a healthy SEO profile and ensure search engines always have the latest version of your site structure.
