A sitemap helps Google discover and index your website’s pages, improving your search engine visibility. Wix automatically generates a sitemap for your site, but you need to submit it to Google Search Console (GSC) for faster indexing.

Follow this step-by-step guide to submit your Wix sitemap to Google.

Step 1: Locate Your Wix Sitemap URL

Wix automatically creates a sitemap for your website at:

https://yourdomain.com/sitemap.xml

To find your sitemap in Wix:

1. Log in to your Wix Studio dashboard.

2. Click Site & Mobile App > Website & SEO > SEO.

3. Scroll down to Sitemaps and confirm the correct sitemap URL.
   

Step 2: Sign in to Google Search Console

1. Go to Google Search Console.

2. Sign in with your Google account (preferably the one connected to your website).

3. Select your website from the property list.

   • If your site is not yet added, follow the “Add Property” steps.
     

Step 3: Submit Your Sitemap to Google

1. In Google Search Console, navigate to Indexing > Sitemaps in the left-hand menu.

2. Under “Add a new sitemap”, enter your sitemap URL:
   

   yourdomain.com/sitemap.xml
   

3. Click Submit.

🚀 After submission, Google will begin indexing your site pages.

Step 4: Verify Sitemap Submission

1. After submitting, Google will display the status as “Success” if it was processed correctly.

2. If there are errors, click on the error message for details and follow the recommended fixes.

3. Recheck indexing progress in Google Search Console > Pages Report to ensure pages are being indexed.
