**Submit Sitemap**

A “Sitemap” is a file where you provide information about the pages, videos, and other files on your site, and the relationships between them. Submitting the Sitemap can help search engines like Google read this file to crawl your site more efficiently and tells them which pages and files you think are important in your site, and also provides valuable information about these files.

You can create a Sitemap for your website through the [third-party Sitemap generators ](https://code.google.com/archive/p/sitemap-generators/wikis/SitemapGenerators.wiki). Below we are going to use the free online Sitemap generator [XML sitemap Generator ](https://www.xml-sitemaps.com/)as an example:

1）Enter your website URL and click “Start” to automatically generate a Sitemap (Max. 500 URLs).

<figure><img src="/files/2ovuMOVifRunHoLILABc" alt=""><figcaption></figcaption></figure>

2）After the Sitemap is created, you can click “View Sitemap details” to view the Sitemap and click “Download Your XML Sitemap File” to download your Sitemap file.

<figure><img src="/files/afooowvXX3yCIwxgdb8i" alt=""><figcaption></figcaption></figure>

3）Go to the <mark style="color:purple;background-color:purple;">**STOREBERRY Admin Panel**</mark>  → <mark style="color:purple;background-color:purple;">**「Online Store」**</mark> → <mark style="color:purple;background-color:purple;">**「Analytics」**</mark> and tap the <mark style="color:purple;background-color:purple;">**「Enable」**</mark> button of the Sitemap column. Then click “Upload new Sitemap” to upload your Sitemap file and click <mark style="color:purple;background-color:purple;">**「Save」**</mark> .

**Build robots.txt File**

Search engines like Google will constantly crawl the web to find new information for search results. A robots.txt file is used primarily to tell search engine crawlers which URLs the crawler can access on your site and mainly to avoid overloading your site with requests.

To create a robots.txt file, you can go to <mark style="color:purple;background-color:purple;">**「STOREBERRY Admin Panel」**</mark> → <mark style="color:purple;background-color:purple;">**「Online Store」**</mark> → <mark style="color:purple;background-color:purple;">**「Analytics」**</mark> and enable “Custom robots.txt”. Then add the rules to the robots.txt file below and click 「Save」 . Your robots.txt file will be stored in the root directory of your site, such as: xxx.mystoreberry.com/robots.txt.

You can also use [<mark style="color:purple;">Google’s robots.txt testing tool</mark> ](https://support.google.com/webmasters/answer/6062598?hl=zh-Hant)to check whether your robots.txt file has successfully blocked Google’s web crawler.
