Submit your sitemap to search engines

Cavuno auto-generates a sitemap that includes all your published content. Submitting it to search engines tells them where to find your pages and accelerates indexing.

What Cavuno generates

Your sitemap is available at:

1
https://yourboard.com/sitemap.xml

It includes:

• Job listings: every published job with its company, category, and location
• Programmatic SEO pages: category pages, location pages, and category+location combinations
• Company pages: individual company profiles and market pages
• Salary pages: company salary data and category salary breakdowns (when data is available)
• Blog content: posts, tag pages, and author pages
• Legal pages: privacy policy, terms of service, cookie policy (when configured)

The sitemap updates automatically as content changes. Large boards may have a sitemap index that splits URLs across multiple files. Search engines handle this automatically.

Submit to Google Search Console

1. Go to Google Search Console
2. Select your property (or add your domain if you haven't already)
3. In the left sidebar, click Sitemaps
4. Enter your sitemap URL: https://yourboard.com/sitemap.xml
5. Click Submit

Google confirms receipt and begins processing. Check back after a few days to see how many URLs were discovered and indexed.

If you've already connected Search Console to Cavuno (see Connect Search Console), you can monitor indexing status from within Cavuno as well.

Submit to Bing Webmaster Tools

1. Go to Bing Webmaster Tools
2. Add your site or select it if already added
3. In the left sidebar, click Sitemaps
4. Click Submit sitemap
5. Enter your sitemap URL and click Submit

Bing also shares data with Yahoo and DuckDuckGo, so this single submission covers multiple search engines.

Verify indexing

After submission, monitor progress:

• Google Search Console > Sitemaps: Shows "Success" status, the number of discovered URLs, and the last read date
• Google Search Console > Pages: Shows how many of your pages are indexed vs. not indexed, with reasons for exclusion
• Bing Webmaster Tools > Sitemaps: Shows submitted URLs and indexed count
