How do I upload an XML sitemap to Google Search Console for a site published with Webflow on a custom domain?

To upload an XML sitemap to Google Search Console for a site published with Webflow on a custom domain, you need to follow a few steps. Here's a detailed guide:

1. Generate the XML Sitemap:
- In your Webflow project's Editor, go to the Pages panel on the left-hand side.
- Click on the three-dot menu icon and select "SEO Settings."
- Scroll down to the "XML Sitemaps" section and make sure the toggle button is turned on.
- Webflow will automatically generate an XML sitemap for your site.

2. Get Google Search Console Access:
- Sign in to your Google Search Console account (if you don't have one, create it).
- Click on the "Add Property" button and enter your custom domain URL (e.g., www.yourdomain.com).
- Verify ownership by following the provided instructions. Webflow provides various verification options like DNS verification or HTML tag verification.

3. Add the Sitemap to Google Search Console:
- Once your domain is verified, select it from the Google Search Console dashboard.
- In the left-hand menu, click on "Sitemaps."
- Click on the "Add a New Sitemap" button.
- Enter "sitemap.xml" (without quotes) in the provided field.
- Click on the "Submit" button.

4. Test and Monitor:
- Google Search Console may take some time to process your sitemap. Check the status in the sitemaps section. It will display the number of submitted pages.
- Monitor the "Coverage" and "Indexing" sections in Google Search Console to ensure Google is indexing your site properly.
- If there are any issues or errors, Google Search Console will provide details, and you can take appropriate actions to fix them.

Remember, whenever you make significant changes to your Webflow website's structure or add new pages, it's essential to regenerate a new XML sitemap and submit it to Google Search Console. This will help Google discover and index your latest content effectively.
