You don’t know how to find your sitemap?

Don’t worry…

One of the ways you can find out about your sitemap is navigating to your browser’s searching bar and type in your website URL followed by this section: “robots.txt“

Make sure the URL you type in looks like the following:

“yourdomain.com/robots.txt”

Once done, click “Enter” on your keyboard to get your sitemap URL listed within the displayed results…

In case you got your sitemap otherwise, make sure it’s looking like the one we previously mentioned :

https://yourdomain.com/sitemap_index.xml

As from its name, it’s an index including all your possible sitemaps on your site.

Whenever you add or delete any sitemap within it, Bing will be regularly crawling the same sitemap index to get notice of such changes and thus keep updated without any manual intervention from your end whatsoever.

Once pasted in there, click “Submit” button.

By hitting that “Submit” button, you will have successfully submitted your sitemap to Bing which will start crawling and indexing all of your website pages and content as soon as possible.
