How to Find and Submit Your Sitemap on Webflow
A sitemap is a file listing the pages you want search engines to find. It matters most for new sites, because Google cannot discover pages through links if nobody links to you yet.
The fix on Webflow
Webflow generates sitemap.xml automatically on publish. You can find it at yoursite.com/sitemap.xml - submit this URL in Google Search Console.
Builder menus change over time. If a label looks different, look for the closest option and check Webflow's help centre.
What to know about Webflow
Auto-updating XML sitemap
Handled for you
Updates automatically every time you publish. Submit once to Search Console and new pages get picked up without resubmission.
Why this matters
A sitemap is a list of all your pages that you hand directly to Google. It is especially important for new sites because Google can't find your pages through links if no one is linking to you yet.
How to check it worked
- Open yourdomain.com/sitemap.xml in your browser. A list of URLs means it exists.
- In Google Search Console, open Sitemaps and check that yours has been submitted and shows a "Success" status.
Common questions
Do I need to submit my sitemap to Google?
It is not required, but submitting it in Search Console is quick and shows you whether Google can read it.
Where is my sitemap on Webflow?
Usually at yourdomain.com/sitemap.xml. If that address shows an error, follow the steps above for this platform.
