    Your DNN sitemap will then be available for Google to index, although there is no set timeline for Google to crawl a newly submitted site. See the Google documentation Manage your sitemaps for next steps, including resolving any errors in the sitemap.
  7. To find which pages from your site are currently visible in Google searches, search Google for "site:" followed by your site's URL. For example, searching Google for site:dnnsoftware.com will return results from the domain dnnsoftware.com.
