# sitemap.xml

> Build and publish a sitemap.xml so search engines and AI crawlers can discover every page on your site.

A `sitemap.xml` lists your site's URLs, helping search engines and AI crawlers discover and index all of your pages.

## Why have a sitemap

* Helps search engines and AI crawlers find all of your pages.
* Speeds up discovery and indexing of new content.
* Improves your site's coverage in AI-assisted answers and results.

## Create your sitemap

Unlike the AI-generated files, the sitemap is built by **discovering your site's URLs**.

<Steps>
  <Step title="Discover URLs">
    Open **Actions → sitemap** and click **Discover URLs**. Cliro crawls your homepage and extracts internal links to seed an editable URL list.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Edit the list">
    Review the discovered URLs, removing or adding pages as needed.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Confirm">
    Confirm to lock the sitemap and enable downloading.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Download & publish">
    Upload the file to your site's root so it's reachable at `https://yourdomain.com/sitemap.xml`.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Verify publication">
    Use **Verify publication** to confirm the live sitemap is in place.
  </Step>
</Steps>

<Tip>
  Reference your sitemap from your `robots.txt` so crawlers find it automatically.
