How to configure my store to appear in search engines

To add the link to sitemap and allow Google to position us, we’ll have to follow a few simple steps. They require a bit of technical knowledge, although at a very basic level. Let’s take a look.

You’ll have to make some changes to these links in the “information” category at the bottom of your online store website.

But before working on these steps, we’ll have to make use of the right tools:

  • An FTP management program. There are free, reliable managers, Filezilla for example. Once you have opened the manager, you’ll need to enter your credentials to connect it up to your store’s files.

  • Download an editor such as Notepad++ to modify the file. Once you’ve downloaded it, go ahead and install it.

Once these programs are installed we’ll continue with the following steps:

  1. The first thing to do is connect via FTP to save a copy of the file found in /themes/multishop/blockcms/blockcms.tpl so that we can recover a copy in the event of any problems. Download it and save it on your computer. The name of the theme will be the name of the theme of your store (i.e./themes/[your-store-name]/blockcms/blockcms.tpl

  2. Download a second copy of the file in order to edit it. The file can be found at /themes/multishop/blockcms/blockcms.tpl. The name of the theme will be the name of the theme of your store (i.e. /themes/[your-store-name]/blockcms/blockcms.tpl

  3. We’ll edit the file with notepadd++ which we downloaded previously (or some other programming range). From here you can see two lists (UL), one at the bottom of the web page and another in the column that can be seen in two blocks. You have to add a link to the sitemap to each of these UL lists. To do that, first add the following code to the tag: getPageLink(“sitemap”)}” title=”{l s=”Sitemap”}”>{l s=”Sitemap”}

  4. Upload the file to the same address and check that everything is working correctly.

By following these steps the sitemap for your website should be correctly configured.
