XML Sitemap Feeds

Manual creation and updating of your XML Sitemap is time-consuming and inefficient. The following steps illustrate this method:

• Create your store for the first time.
• Manually create an XML sitemap.
• Over time, you would modify your categories and products.
• You would then have to manually update the sitemap again.
• The next time you modified your categories or products, you would have to manually update the sitemap as well.

To streamline this process, it can be automated using a feed. The automated process involves:

• Creating the XML Sitemap Feed. Consult To Create a Standard Sitemap Protocol Feed for guidance.
• Generating the XML Sitemap. Refer to To Create an XML Sitemap for instructions.
• Optionally, you can view the XML Sitemap. See To View Your XML Sitemap for details.

Once these steps are implemented, your XML sitemap will update automatically, saving you time and effort.
