@Eleftheria2022  You can add it to your navigation to the menu you used in your footer

Hello Jenny, thanks for your quick reply.

I create a new page in my footer nav menu as "/tools/sitemap" and save it, but the result is this down below as you see in pic

Hi @Eleftheria2022,

Instead of adding an XML sitemap to your footer menu, consider adding an HTML sitemap since it's a clickable list of pages on a website, which is more beneficial to your visitors, thus, enhancing your user experience.

Here're the main benefits of an HTML sitemap:

• Organize large websites: It serves as a directory for all web pages, allowing users to quickly find what they’re looking for.

• Make it easier for search engines to categorize your content: ell-organized HTML sitemaps can help crawlers more quickly understand which pages are most important.

• Find internal linking opportunities: It allows you to identify internal links, which are also critical to improving SEO.

• Identify areas to improve site navigation: You can also use your sitemap to see how you can improve your website’s overall navigation. 

In order to generate an HTML sitemap, you can refer to our SEO:Image Optimizer Page Speed app. It has an option to automatically build an HTML sitemap that includes all of the pages on your website in form of a page. Then you can add this sitemap page to your footer menu in Shopify from Navigation > Menu > Footer Menu.

Here's what a generated HTML sitemap by AVADA looks like:
