Short, modern follow-up to the thread: Google Webmaster Tools is now Google Search Console, and the recommended workflow is to add and verify a Search Console property (choose Domain vs URL‑prefix carefully), then submit the sitemap from the Sitemaps report so Google can fetch it and show any parsing errors. was right to start with an account — owners must verify the correct property before they can use the Sitemaps report. See the Search Console property and Sitemaps docs for details. ()

If a sitemap is present but pages aren’t being indexed (as in ’s case), run a short checklist: confirm the sitemap URL returns HTTP 200 and is reachable by Googlebot; confirm the sitemap lists canonical URLs (no redirects); check for accidental noindex tags or a robots.txt rule that blocks crawling; and ensure the sitemap uses a supported format (XML, text, RSS/Atom) rather than an HTML page. Use the Search Console Sitemaps report and the URL Inspection (Live Test) to see exact fetch/indexing errors. (developers.google.com)

Large sites: split big sitemaps and use a sitemap index. Limits are 50,000 URLs per sitemap and 50 MB uncompressed; gzip compression is allowed but the uncompressed size must still meet limits. Add the sitemap location to robots.txt if not submitting in Search Console. Example entries: 

Sitemap: https://example.com/sitemap_index.xml

and a minimal sitemap index looks like:


<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<sitemapindex xmlns="http://www.sitemaps.org/schemas/sitemap/0.9">
  <sitemap><loc>https://example.com/sitemap1.xml.gz</loc></sitemap>
</sitemapindex>
``` ([sitemaps.org](https://www.sitemaps.org/protocol.html?utm_source=openai))

Notes and quick tips: @Microsys was right — submit XML (or text/RSS) sitemaps, not HTML lists. For WordPress sites (as @jsherm101 hinted) use a maintained sitemap generator (Yoast/Rank Math or core WP sitemap) but verify the generated URL in Search Console. Do not rely on the old “ping” endpoint — Google deprecated it in 2023; use Search Console or robots.txt to make sitemaps discoverable. Submitting a sitemap is a hint, not a guarantee of indexing; check the Sitemaps report and URL Inspection for concrete reasons when pages are excluded.

The first step is to create a webmasters account. Then create your sitemap. You can do it manually or programatically. If you need help, there are quite a bit of websites that help you create one for free by programatically navigating your site.

Once you have your sitemap, go ahead and upload it. It may take a few days for GoDaddy to index the pages.

The easiest way is to use a CMS or Blogging software like Wordpress, which will make crawling a lot easier and has plenty of free SEO plugins that make this a breeze to handle instead of a lot of meticulous code snippets to post on your site for SEO with Google, etc.

Jorge, don't you mean it may take a few days for Google to index the pages? :) Last I checked, the only thing GoDaddy knows how to do is make superbowl commercials. They certainly can't reliably maintain their network, if today's disaster was any indication. No offense to GoDaddy, because they've advertised with us before and I'd like to keep them as a loyal customer ... so maybe I should think about hitting the delete key right around now.

Worth to remember you have to create an XML sitemaps (normal, image, video etc.)

You can't submit e.g. a HTML sitemap.

Anyhow, like others said, start by creating an acount in Google Webmaster Tools (and Bing webmaster section as well) and follow the steps from there.
