How can you be sure that Google is indexing all the pages of your online store? The simplest solution is probably to submit a Sitemap. It is simply a plan that its robots can use to locate and discover all of your pages. In addition, if your Prestashop Sitemap is well done, it can help you in terms of SEO.

Here is a complete guide that explains how to create and use a Sitemap with Prestashop!

What is a Sitemap?

A Sitemap file is limited to 50,000 URLs and has a maximum size of 10 MB. If your store has a large number of pages and your Sitemap file exceeds the authorized quotas, it is necessary to generate several Sitemaps. You will then need to create a Sitemaps index which will be responsible for listing the different files you have created.

In addition to listing your site’s pages, images, and videos, a Sitemap file can contain additional information about each URL, such as:

  • update frequency.
  • duration of a video.
  • the importance of the page etc.

Why is Sitemap Used?

Its role is to help search engines better index the contents of your store. Indexing a page means that indexing robots are aware of its existence and that they add it to their directory.

However, if a page is not indexed, it can never be correctly positioned in the search results. There is, therefore, an indirect effect on your SEO.

Do I need a Sitemap for SEO?

The real question is, “Does Google know all my pages, images, and videos?” If this is not the case, then it will be necessary to understand why.

Ideally, you should analyze and review the architecture of your website to ensure that the mesh between the pages is correct. If you can’t find why your site’s indexing isn’t complete, or you can’t fix the problem, then you need a Sitemap.

How Do I Know if Google has Indexed My Pages Correctly?

Go to Google, type “site:mydomain.com,” and see how many results you get.

Here’s an example,

website indexing status check example

You can also log in to your Google Search Console account and go to the “Index > Coverage” menu. You will then see the total number of indexed pages.

Be careful; remember to check the date of the last indexing because it can be several days late. To know it, you must hover over the last bar of the graph you see on this page.

Now that you know the number of pages indexed by Google, you need to compare it with the total number of pages on your site.

And there, you will say to me, “How do I find the number of pages of my site? »

I confess that I don’t know 😅

The only method that exists is to crawl the site (which is exactly what Google already does). So if you have a problem with your URLs the result will be wrong.

The best is to roughly deduce the number of pages your store contains by adding the number of categories, products, CMS pages, etc. You will be able to compare the result obtained with the number of indexed pages and see if you have an indexing problem or not.

Why doesn’t Google Index all my Pages?

Here are some common reasons why Google (and other search engines) may not be aware of all your pages, images, or videos:

  • Your site is recent or/and has very few incoming links (backlinks)
  • Your site is very large.
  • Some pages are not accessible via traditional links.
  • robots.txt file blocks some pages.
  • Some pages have a “no index” meta tag.
  • Links to your pages are “nofollow.”
  • You have too many error pages (4xx or 5xx).
  • You have duplicate content pages
  • Your site is too slow.
  • You took a Google penalty in the teeth! 🥊

How to Create/Generate a Sitemap on Prestashop?

To find it, go to the list of your modules and install the “Google sitemap” module. The good news is that Prestashop offers you a free module allowing you to create Sitemaps for Google.

The bad news is that this module is very limited, offers unnecessary options, and can crash your store if you have too many pages or too many images.

This is what the module configuration looks like ⬇️

Prestashop sitemap example

The update frequency is a piece of information that is no longer useful since search engines have declared that they do not take it into account. Yet the module still asks you to define it.

The following checkbox allows you to re-generate the missing images when the module scans your site to create the sitemap.

This option is interesting because it allows you to add your images to the sitemap and improve your SEO (particularly, a good boost on Google images).

Unfortunately, if the sitemap is already long to create or you have many images, this option may crash the store.

The following checkboxes allow you to exclude certain pages from being added to the sitemap. Unfortunately, the options are limited here because you can only exclude certain basic pages such as the shopping cart page, order history, etc.

This is not possible if you have products or categories that you don’t want to be indexed by Google (because the pages are not yet correctly filled in, for example).

In summary, even if the intention is good to offer a free sitemap module, the result is not very useful given the limitations of the modules.

How can I Generate a Sitemap Manually?

If you cannot create your Sitemap file using modules, you can do it manually with this tool.

In “Your website URL,” you just need to enter the URL of your site and click on the “Start” button.

maually sitemap generator example

Once the sitemap has been generated, click the “Download” button and save it to your computer.
You must send it to your server and enter its URL in Google’s Search Console (see the next 👇).

Submit your Sitemap to the Search Console

Well, you have generated your Sitemaps; that’s great! But if you don’t tell Google how to find them, it won’t help. The following explanations assume:

  • Login to your account.
  • Click on “Sitemap” (on the left)
  • Enter Sitemap URL (sitemap.xml or sitemap_index.xml)
  • and then click on the “submit button”
Submit sitemap in google

You can then return to this menu regularly to see if Google is indexing all the URLs sent via your sitemap.
That’s it; it’s over (well, almost).

Conclusion

As I explained at the beginning, the sitemap is not mandatory, but if you have difficulty listing your store properly, it can sometimes unblock the situation.

You now have all the information you need to create your sitemap and help Google index your site.
