https://www.mymedicost.com/sitemap.xmlViewThis sitemap is already live and contains all 11 static pages plus 12 article URLs. Submitting it to Google Search Console tells Google exactly which pages exist and how important they are.
Go to Google Search Console and sign in with your Google account. Make sure you are signed in with the same account that owns the property for mymedicost.com.
Open Google Search ConsoleIn the left sidebar, make sure the correct property is selected: mymedicost.com (or www.mymedicost.com). If you haven't verified ownership yet, you'll need to complete verification first.
If you see multiple properties, choose the one that matches your primary domain.
In the left navigation panel, scroll down to the 'Indexing' section and click 'Sitemaps'. This opens the sitemap submission panel.
In the 'Add a new sitemap' field, enter the path to your sitemap. Your sitemap is already live at the URL below — just copy and paste the path portion.
In the input field, you only need to enter the path: sitemap.xml (the domain is already shown as a prefix).
Click the 'Submit' button. Google will immediately begin crawling your sitemap. You'll see a confirmation that the sitemap was submitted successfully.
After submission, return to the Sitemaps page to check the status. It typically shows 'Success' within a few minutes. The 'Discovered URLs' count will update as Google processes the sitemap — this can take 1–7 days for all pages to be indexed.
Don't worry if indexing takes a few days. Google prioritizes new content based on your site's authority and crawl budget.
