Do I really need to upload sitemaps to Search Console every time I post something new?
Posted by on July 21, 2020 at 8:21 pmI run a blog and post new content daily. I know some content isn’t indexed yet, despite recent crawls. Should I be updating sitemaps daily?

Nah, google will crawl when it gets some hits

If your articles are not linked properly on your website, or you have a large website sitemap helps with discovery.
Despite common belief, last mod field in the sitemap is also used by google to know if a page has been recently updated.
Additionally, most CMS platforms can generate a dynamic sitemap so its one and done. There’s no reason not to have a sitemap if you’re on WordPress or something.

Nope, search engines crawl them regularly

You can just submit to search console to crawl and index if it’s just a single piece.

Once you enter the URL of the sitemap in GSC, it will crawl it on its own routinely. You really actually dont gain *that* much by manually submitting it. Google will still throw it into its own queue.

Then how can a site be on page one in yandex, bing and qwant and nowhere on google?

Nope

If you use wordpress and an SEO plugin, the sitemap is dynamically generated. But for me, I will use the url inspection tool to jump the queue for indexing. But there is a daily limit quota.
