Section 1: Generating an XML Sitemap

  Generate a sitemap.xml file that lists all the important pages of your site. Make sure all the URLs are included in this file.

Host the sitemap.xml file on your site, for example, at https://www.saphatech.blogspot.com/sitemap.xml.

Log in to Google Search Console (https://search.google.com/search-console) and select your site property (the site https://www.seewaytech.blogspot.com).

In the sidebar, click on "Sitemaps" under the "Google Index" tab.

Click on the "Add a sitemap" button and enter "sitemap.xml".

Submit the sitemap by clicking the "Submit" button.

Section 2: Additional Sitemaps (HTML, Image, Video, News)

HTML Sitemap:

Create a special HTML page that will serve as a sitemap for human users. This page should contain links to all the important pages of your site.

Host this page on your site, for example, at https://www.saphatech.blogspot.com/sitemap.html.

In Google Search Console, follow the previous steps to access the "Sitemaps" section.

This time, submit the HTML sitemap by entering "sitemap.html" instead of "sitemap.xml".

Image Sitemap, Video Sitemap, News Sitemap:

Depending on the types of content you have on your site (images, videos, news articles), generate the corresponding sitemaps following the appropriate XML specifications and tags for each type.

Host these sitemaps on your site at the respective URLs (for example,                                   https://www.saphatech.blogspot.com/sitemap-image.xml,   https://www.saphatech.blogspot.com/sitemap-video.xml,     https://www.saphatech.blogspot.com/sitemap-news.xml).

In Google Search Console, follow the previous steps to access the "Sitemaps" section.

Submit each corresponding sitemap using the specific URLs for each type (for example, "sitemap-image.xml", "sitemap-video.xml", "sitemap-news.xml").

  By adding optimized sitemaps to Google Search Console, such as the XML sitemap, you can significantly enhance your website's visibility in search results. Remember to regularly update your sitemaps and monitor the reports in Google Search Console to ensure proper indexing. By utilizing various sitemaps, you can improve the discoverability of your content across different search engine verticals. Take advantage of these techniques to boost your website's visibility and attract more organic traffic.
