What Is Shopify Sitemap? <\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

The process of indexing your Shopify<\/strong><\/a> online store in the Google search engine is an easy one if you know all the tips and tricks. You don\u2019t have to upload whole website codes and folders to get indexed in the Google search console. The thing you need to enlist is your online store\u2019s Shopify sitemap. So let\u2019s start with what Shopify sitemap means. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

A Shopify sitemap is a tool with a piece of code<\/strong> that holds all the details of your online store’s site pages, content, metadata, links, images, and many more. It helps Google bots to crawl all important information about your Shopify online store. This code source helps Google bot to get a basic idea about what is your site for, what each page contains, etc. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

In tech terms, Your Shopify sitemap is an XML file<\/strong><\/a> that Shopify creates for you automatically. You must manually submit the sitemap to Google in order for it to rank your store more efficiently and precisely, despite the fact that it is totally controlled by Shopify and uneditable on your end. If you have a clean, error-free sitemap for a Shopify store means that the store will get a higher and faster Google ranking.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

How Can You Easily Find Your Shopify Online Store Sitemap FIle?<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Although a sitemap is a code, you can still find out everything about your Shopify one store by yourself. Just after you open an online store in Shopify, the sitemap is generated automatically. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

To visit your own Shopify online store sitemap, type the following in the browser: <\/p>\n\n\n\n

yourwebsite.com\/<\/strong>sitemap.xml<\/strong><\/pre>\n\n\n\n
In \u2018yourwebsite<\/strong>\u2019 just type your own Shopify online store domain name. This is what the sitemap looks like: <\/p>\n\n\n\n
\"index<\/figure>\n\n\n\n
Important information to be noted: <\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n
Those on the Shopify Basic plan<\/strong><\/a> have a sitemap for only their primary domain. You will also have sitemaps when you use an additional domain for an international domain if you are on the Shopify plan or higher. When you have multiple domains, make sure they all redirect to your primary domain if they’re not being used for international targeting.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Why Is It Important To Submit Shopify Sitemap? <\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Effective Crawling For Larger Sites<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n
Sitemaps are very helpful for Google when it comes to navigating large websites<\/strong>. Naturally, Google crawls sites with clearly-mapped pages faster than sites with no map. In terms of Google bot, sites that contain 100 or fewer pages are considered smaller sites. Basically, all of Shopify’s stores have more than 100 pages, so it automatically generates sitemaps for all of them. That means you won’t have to do anything in the building of your store’s sitemap until your store has more than 50,000 URLs.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
