# Adding Sitemap

This short guide will show you how to add your website sitemap in a few simple steps.

### How it works

The sitemap is a built-in feature (unlike an add-on) and is enabled by default for every website, so no actions need to be taken — it is already available. 

The sitemap content is generated automatically based on the content of the Google Sheets if the details pages are enabled. Also it includes content pages and the home page.

And it respects the SEO and password protection options: if you [switch off the SEO indexation](https://help.spreadsimple.com/en/article/seo-settings-h6crwp/#3-hide-your-website-from-search-engines) or turn the [site-wide password on](https://help.spreadsimple.com/en/article/site-wide-password-protection-12i1d72/), the sitemap won’t list your inner pages.


### Get your website Sitemap URL

Your sitemap is available here: **your website URL/sitemap.xml**, for example: `website.spread.name/sitemap.xml`

And as usual, you can see the full sitemap URL listed in the robots.txt.


### Adding your sitemap to Google Search Console

1. Log in to your [Google Search Console](https://search.google.com/search-console) and go to **Sitemaps**

2. Enter your sitemap URL (you can just add `/sitemap.xml` to your website URL)
