If you're looking to expand the reach of your online store, consider submitting a sitemap to Google Search Console; it helps Google find and index valuable pages on your site. The link to your sitemap is either domain.com/sitemap.xml or domain.onshopbase.com/sitemap.xml (depending on which is your primary domain).

A. Find your sitemap
Simply put, you can get the link to your sitemap by adding /sitemap.xml after your store's primary domain. For example: dailybest.deals/sitemap.xml.
This sitemap file is automatically generated and links to separate sitemaps for your products, collections, blogs, and webpages. It is automatically updated when you add a new webpage, product, collection, image, or blog post to your ShopBase online store.
B. Verify your site with Google
Before you submit your sitemap to Google Search Console, you must verify your site.
If you use your .onshopbase.com domain to verify, and then replace it with a custom domain, you will need to re-verify your site again.
There are 2 ways to verify your site:
3.1. You can verify by a HTML tag. Then you copy the meta tag and paste it into ShopBase's additional scripts. (Online Store > Preferences > Addtional scripts)
3.2. You can verify by Google Analytics.
If successfully, you see a pop-up stating the owner shop has been verified.
C. Submit your sitemap to Google Search Console
You can submit your sitemap to Google Search Console to help Google find and index valuable pages on your site.
The process of crawling and indexing your site can take time, and Google doesn't guarantee how long it'll take. Learn more about what to expect when your site is indexed from the Google Search Console Help.
