What is Google Search Console

Google Search Console is a free tool developed by Google. You can use it to track your website’s performance (how your site is performing in Google). You can get valuable information about your website such as crawl errors, ranking keywords, impressions and more from your Google Search Console account.

Furthermore, Google Search Console will notify you if there are any errors in your site.

Why Submit Sitemap to Google Search Console

When it comes to improving your ranking, XML Sitemaps can help you greatly. This helps Google and other main search engines (Bing, Yahoo, Ask.com) better crawl your website and understand your website structure easily.

In addition, if your site is very large, you’ll need a sitemap.
