How to add google sitemap to blogger and google search console

Hello guys recently i had to add sitemap to my blogger site so that it can display properly on google search engine that way people can easily find me on google when they search for my blog or a post in my blog, so if this interest you pls follow along or watch the video attached bellow.

The XML Sitemap file is like a directory of all web pages that exist on your website or blog. Search engines like Google and Bing can use these sitemap files to discover pages on your site that the search bots may have otherwise missed during regular crawling.

Steps to Generate a Complete Sitemap for your Blogger Blog

Here’s what you need to do to display your blog’s complete site structure to search engines with the help of an XML sitemap.

1. Open the Sitemap Generator and type the full address of your blogspot blog. Click the Create Sitemap button and this tool will instantly generate the necessary text for your sitemap. Copy the entire generated text to your clipboard.

2. Next go to your Blogger dashboard and under Settings – > Search Preferences, the enable Custom robots.txt option (available in the Crawling and Indexing section). Paste the clipboard text here and save your changes.

3. And we are done. Search engines will automatically discover your XML sitemap files via the robots.txt file and you don’t have to ping them manually.

Finally Adding the Sitemap to Google Search Console

Now login to Google Webmaster Tools. Add or select your blog. On the left click Crawl > Sitemaps > Add/Test Sitemap.

You’ll see your blog name and a text input box. Paste atom.xml in the field and press submit.

That is all you need to do and google search engine can easily crawl your site for contents once a user search on google.

Very easy right.
