How does the sitemap feature work

Hi,

Never used the sitemap feature in CubeCart. Can someone please explain what needs to be done and how to get it submitted to search engines. Is it a good sitemap ie:  set it and forget it or do you need to resubmit it when changes are made to website. Does it submit images too?

Thanks,

Claudia

The built in functionality creates a basic Sitemap when it is manually run so

1) It isn't set it and forget it - the store owner needs to manually rebuild it whenever changes are made to the store

2) It doesn't cover images, videos etc - only standard urls.

3) The store owner needs to submit it through Google Search Console and any other search engines.

As long as store owners remember to run this manually on a regular basis (daily or at least weekly) then it is definitely better than not having any Sitemap (although it can be detrimental to have old, out of date Sitemaps) but there are various specialist software packages (we resell one such package) that cope with the first two options.
