Find and submit your Carrot sitemap

Your Carrot sitemap lists page URLs that search engines can discover. Submitting it does not guarantee indexing or rankings.

Find your sitemap

  1. Open your public site using its connected HTTPS domain.
  2. In the address bar, add /sitemap.xml after the domain. You should see an XML sitemap listing URLs. Carrot also supports /sitemap_index.xml.
  3. Copy the full sitemap address. Keep the same hostname your public site uses, including www if present.

If the address shows an error instead of a sitemap, recheck the domain and path. If it still fails, use the dashboard help drawer’s Support tab with the sitemap address.

Submit it to Google

You need owner access to the matching property in Google Search Console. If you haven’t connected your site, connect Google Search Console first.

Use the sitemap address you copied and follow Google’s instructions for submitting a sitemap. For a URL-prefix property, the HTTPS address and hostname must match your public site.

Check: A successful status means Google fetched and read the sitemap; individual pages may still be waiting for indexing.

If Google cannot fetch the sitemap, check the public sitemap address again and follow the troubleshooting in Google’s guide. For an ownership or permission problem, ask the Google account owner to connect, or to add you as an owner in Search Console. See Google’s owner and permission help.

For individual page status, use the Page Indexing report.
