Community sitemaps make it easier for search engines to crawl and index your content which helps improve visibility, organic traffic, and presence.

When your community is set to public, you can get access to the community sitemap via a URL. The sitemaps are regenerated every Sunday, ensuring they are up to date each week.

> ℹ️ **Availability:** The sitemaps feature is only available on our actively subscribed Circle community plans.

To access the XML sitemap for your community, visit the following URL in your browser:

```
https://[YOUR_COMMUNITY_URL]/sitemap.xml.gz
```

You can use various search engine tools, such as Google Search Console and Bing Webmaster Tools, to submit the sitemap.

📚 For detailed information on how to submit the sitemap, we suggest searching for the guide provided by the search engine. Here is the example guide on [**submitting a sitemap to Google Search Console**](https://support.google.com/webmasters/answer/7451001?hl=en&sjid=15423529491812607360-NA).
