Navigating the Digital Blueprint: Finding the Sitemap of a Squarespace Website
Every website has a behind-the-scenes map that search engines use to index its pages effectively. It’s called a sitemap, and Squarespace websites are no exception. In this guide, we’ll show you how to find the sitemap of a Squarespace website and introduce you to LoftyDevs, a Squarespace agency that can assist you with this and more.
Step 1: Access Your Squarespace Dashboard
Log in to your Squarespace account and access the dashboard of the website for which you want to locate the sitemap.
Step 2: Navigate to Pages
From the dashboard, navigate to the “Pages” section.
Step 3: Access the Not Linked Section
Look for the “Not Linked” section, which typically appears at the bottom of the Pages panel. This section contains pages that are not included in your website’s primary navigation.
Step 4: Create a New Page
Click the “+ New” button within the “Not Linked” section to create a new page.
Step 5: Select “Blank”
Choose the “Blank” page layout for your new page.
Step 6: Name the Page
You can name this page anything you like, but it’s a common practice to name it “sitemap” for easy reference.
Step 7: Save and Publish
Save and publish the new page.
Step 8: Access Your Sitemap Page
After publishing, access the sitemap page you just created. It will contain a list of links to all the pages on your Squarespace website.
Step 9: Share or Use the Sitemap
You can share the URL of this sitemap page with search engines or users who need access to your site’s structured content.
Alternative Option: Use “/sitemap.xml”
Typically, Squarespace websites have a default sitemap located at “/sitemap.xml.” You can access it by entering your website’s URL followed by “/sitemap.xml” in your browser’s address bar. For example, “www.yourwebsite.com/sitemap.xml"
