adding a sitemap

Hi, I found that our website is missing a sitemap (which it supposed be there by default !!). I tried adding on using the tutorial in Tweak Documents. A new file is added under cms/sitemap.template.html however the site map is not accessible at https://www.chainsawspares.com.au/sitemap.xml

In the tutorial (https://developers.maropost.com/documentation/neto-designer-documentation/tweak-documents/content-page/sitemap-page/) the last step where it says how to 'Add Information Page' I get 404.

Can you please help me out on this issue?

Hi,

Actually, you don't need to create a sitemap seperately. When you launch the neto store, the site map will be generated automatically.

You can download the sitemap file using the URL that they provide. To check the Sitemap URL you can go to. Settings and Tools -> All Settings and Tools, then type Sitemap. You can see an option called Google XML Sitemap.

Or you can simply you can download the Sitemap file from this URL

The terminology might be confusing here. A sitemap can mean two different things:

Do you want a page visible to customers that lists every page on your site? I wouldn't bother, it's very old fashioned and will be enormous for most stores. The tweak you are following is to create one.
Do you want a sitemap file that a search engine understands? @Amila Deshan is spot on that this is generated automatically by Neto and yours is working fine. You can submit that sitemap URL to Google and they'll use it to discover every page on your site.

Hi, I wanted to create sitemap that Google can access so it can index the website correctly. Our SEO expert has mentioned that the sitemap is missing.

I believe this default sitemap is auto updated.

Anyways, thanks for your help. It was really useful.

Best,
