A sitemap is an XML file containing information about pages,
posts, images, and videos on your site or blog. Having a Sitemap will make
it easier for search engines like Google to crawl every element of your
website.
Submitting a blog sitemap to the Google search console is
something that new blog owners must do, this is very important so that your
website or blog has a good reputation in the eyes of the Google search engine.
In this post, let's learn how to submit a blogger or blogspot
sitemap. The method is very easy to do even if you do not have technical
knowledge of complicated HTML code class="hljs cs"s or scripts.
Well, let's just look at the steps to submit a blogger sitemap
to Google Search Console.
Register
Blog to Google Search Console
The first step is that you have to add a blog to Google Search
Console, but I think your blog will automatically be listed in Search Console
because the blogs are made using blogger or blogspot.
However, if your blog is not registered in the Google search
console, please add your blog first to the add properties menu on the left
menu.
If you are using a Custom domain, please fill in your site's
address as shown above, but if you are still using a subdomain of blogger,
namely blogspot.com, use the property type next to it.
Please fill in the full url with http:// or https:// . And
also www if you use a custom domain. After filling in
your blog address, then click the CONTINUE button .
Because we create a blog on blogger or blogspot, it will usually
be verified automatically. This is the advantage of using blogger.com. If
not then we have to verify the blog first.
Blog
Verification on Google Search Console
There are five options for verifying the existing blog in the
Search console, but because we are using blogger or blogspot. Please
select the option Using HTML Tags for the blog verification step in the Search
console.
Next, please copy the HTML code or tag provided by the Search
console, then you open a new tab in the browser then log in to blogger.com, go
to Themes > Edit HTML
Here you have to enter the code or HTML tag that was copied
earlier, to be placed under the <head> tag or under the </head>
tag on your blog template. When finished placing the tags, save
your template.
Then we go back to the Google search console tab, to click the Verify button .
If it's done now it's time for us to submit our sitemap to
Google Search Console.

Adding
a Blogger Sitemap in Google Search Console
After registering a blog and verifying. Now let's submit or
add a Blogger Sitemap to the Google search console.
On the left menu of the Search console, click the Sitemap option .
For those who use a custom domain, please enter the complete
sitemap and blog address as below:
https://www.miusm-tech.com/atom.xml?redirect=false&start-index=1&max-results=500In the www.miusm-tech.com section you replace it with your
custom domain url address.
As for users of the blogspot.com sub domain. you just need
to enter this:
atom.xml?redirect=false&start-index=1&max-results=500Without the need to enter the full blog address like a custom
domain user.
The above method applies if your blog has a number of posts
below 500, but if you have more than 500 posts on your blog you must add a new
sitemap as below.
Domain custom usage:
https://www.miusm-tech.com/atom.xml?redirect=false&start-index=501&max-results=1000Use of blogspot.com subdomain:
atom.xml?redirect=false&start-index=501&max-results=1000
Adding
Blogger Page Sitemap in Google Search Console
In addition to submitting a sitemap which is intended to make it
easier for Google to crawl site or blog posts. You can also submit a page
sitemap if YOUR blog has many important pages that you want Google to index.
For the same way as the steps above. The difference lies in
the sitemap address for the page, please fill it as below:
Domain custom usage:
https://www.miusm-tech.com/sitemap-page.xmlUse of blogspot.com subdomain:
sitemap-page.xmlAnd then press the SEND button. to add a static page
sitemap to the Google search console.
Well, that's the steps we can do for how to submit a sitemap on the search console . As
we know before, it is very important for your blog's SEO on blogger or
blogspot.
