Umepakua sitemap.xml. Vizuri — lakini sitemap iliyo kwenye kompyuta yako haifanyi kitu. Fuata hatua hizi kwa mpangilio.
Upload sitemap.xml to your website root
Pakia sitemap.xml kwenye mzizi wa website yako
Upload the file to the root directory of your site — the same folder where your index.html lives.
Pakia faili kwenye saraka ya mzizi ya tovuti yako — folda moja ambapo index.html yako ipo.

Keep it fresh
Iweke mpya
Regenerate whenever you add or remove pages. For active sites, automate it with a cron job.
Tengeneza tena kila unapoongeza au kuondoa kurasa. Kwa tovuti zinazobadilika, iendeshe kiotomatiki.
Monitor performance
Fuatilia utendaji
After a few weeks, check Search Console's Coverage and Performance reports.
Baada ya wiki chache, angalia ripoti za Coverage na Performance za Search Console.
Pro tip: Add <lastmod> dates so search engines know which pages changed recently.
Kidokezo: Ongeza tarehe za <lastmod> ili injini za utafutaji zijue kurasa zilizobadilika hivi karibuni.
