How often should you submit your website's sitemap?
Answer from Google. Sitemaps should be updated whenever new content is added to the website to ensure all URLs are indexed. Regularly updating sitemaps also helps search engines crawl and index pages.

So.... be honest now... how often do you submit your sitemap?.
Daily, Weekly, Monthly, Yearly...
I'm not talking about the automatic setting in your website in the back end where you ask Google to crawl... I'm talking about how often you go into Google Console and proactively submit your website.

Submitting takes time away from your day job - it's boring & irritating. See when you last modified a page by going to your site map yourself. Type in :
/sitemap.xml after your domain.
Or /sitemap_index.xml if you're on WordPress.
Digital Groundwork Ltd can submit all your pages every day to search engines for you. Submitting pages often, increases organic traffic.
FYI - Google Bots DON'T have time to crawl ALL your pages.
So why submit your pages regularly?Â
Submitting pages increases organic traffic and keywords you rank for.
Have you ever done a search on Google on two devices at the same time? One on your laptop, one on your mobile or your iPad?
You get different results. Why?
Because you're on a DIFFERENT Google Server.... say Google has 1000 servers (They've lots more by the way)
Your mobile is searching on server 12, your iPad on server 348 and your laptop server 562. All devices come up with a different search results even though you searched for the same thing at the same time.
Simple when you know right?
So why is this and what can I do about it?
It's because the Google server you're on hasn't indexed the same pages as the other server you're on. Google has different bots for each server crawling the internet every day. They all crawl with different frequencies, to different page depths on each site depending on several web optimisation factors.
Why?
15% of search terms are NEW every day.
3.7 BN pieces of content produced every day.
8.7 BN searches done on Google every day...
No wonder Google bots only crawl 15-25% of your website when they do come to your site. They don't have time to index ALL your pages.
The depth of crawl depend on your site, load speed, pages / visit, dwell time, scroll depth, conversions etc... Frequency of crawl is up to the bots, NOT you. Bots crawl sites that offer a good user experience and crawl them more often.
