4. Create and submit the sitemap

A sitemap is a list of all the pages on your website that helps search engines understand its structure and content. Creating an XML sitemap is relatively easy, especially if you’re using an SEO plugin.

Once you have it ready, submit it to Google Search Console and other search engines you want to target. This will ensure your website’s pages get indexed efficiently and accurately.

The Robots.txt file is a simple text file placed on your website’s root directory to instruct search engine crawlers which pages or sections should not be crawled or indexed.

It’s essential to have a well-structured Robots.txt file to prevent the indexing of unnecessary or sensitive pages and ensure that search engines focus on the right content.
