Sitemap changes to Google

[willows]

Hi, I am just wondering if everytime I change my sitemap am I required to resubmit it to Google or just on my system?
Will they pick it up next time they come around or should I delete it out of Google sitemap under our webmaster and resubmit?
Thanking you

Leanne

Re: Sitemap changes to Google

It depends on which sitemap you are referrring to.

If you have a an XML site map and you are adding more pages to your site or doing major upgrades, then yes. Recreate the sitemap and re upload it to your FTP folder.

If you are referring to your Google site map, log in to your Google account and redo it from there.

If you are just referring to the sitemap on your site that is a page that hosts links and descriptions to your other site pages, then no.

It never hurts to make sure all three are up to date however.
