Time for action – Google sitemaps tutorial

So how do we get one of these sitemap.xml files? You probably guessed. PrestaShop has a module that makes one. And as always it's a breeze to implement.

1. Click on the Modules subtab under the Modules tab and scroll down to the Google sitemap module.

2. Click on Configure.

3. To generate the sitemaps.xml file after you have selected your options, click on the Update sitemap file button.

4. You should do this every time you add to your site, such as adding products, categories, or articles. Also, do this if you're making a significant change to the content as well.

5. Want to have a look what this sitemap.xml file looks like? Click on the link that the Google sitemap module displays. Have a look at all the information that PrestaShop has generated.

What just happened?

Creating and keeping this file up-to-date will help Google easily keep up with the changes to your website, and that is a good thing. You can also consider submitting a sitemap to Yahoo! and Bing.
