Sitemap question and suggestion

webboy634

Does Smugmug create a sitemap? I'd like to submit one to Google but since I don't have access to the source code, Smugmug would have to do it.

I like the site but my one issue so far is SEO. Not being able to control the source code, we're having to rely on you guys for SEO. I have no idea how often the site is getting crawled, sitemap, etc.

I would suggest that you guys offer a new SEO service for a monthly fee.

Your sitemap is 'YourWebsite/sitemap-index.xml'

Your SEO depends on you. Is there text on your site? Descriptions? Keywords?

To add, you can find out what pages are indexed by typing in 'site:your-website-here.com' into your search box on your browser.

Yes, I have descriptions, keywords, etc. I already read that article but that doesn't really address my post here. I can't control the source code so I have to rely on Smugmug to put everything in the right place and structure the code correctly.

I seem to be up and running now according to the Search Console results on Google.

Thank you everyone for the help. Apparently I'm rusty on how SEO actually works..
