Can I use the results of the FusionBot crawling process to generate an XML-based SITEMAPS file for submission to the major search engines?

Yes, for any paid level package, FusionBot can auto-generate XML output supporting the SITEMAPS standard protocol. You can use the output of this content to facilitate the location of content within your site by any major search engine that supports this protocol.

For more information on what XML-based SITEMAPS are, and how they can be utilized to improve your site's presence in major search engines, please visit the following URL:

https://www.sitemaps.org

To retrieve the FusionBot auto-generated XML-based SITEMAP, conduct a query from your site with NO KEYWORDS in the search box, then, go to the address bar of your browser and append the following text to the existing URL:

&gsm=1

After modifying the URL, hit the 'enter' key, and the resultant output will be returned using the SITEMAPS protocol.

You can elect to save this document to your webserver, and then point web-based crawlers to this document via your robots.txt file, or utilize the submission process, if offered, directly at the website of the search engine you are targeting, as outlined in the instructions on the Sitemaps.org website.

Please note, do NOT confuse this feature with the standard HTML-based sitemap that FusionBot generates on your behalf, which serves as a hierarchical navigation tool for your visitors to utilize when browsing / navigating the pages within your site. These are two distinct elements and serve very different purposes.
