        Hi there,

        Lisa from the Moz support team, here.

        We shouldn't be checking for an XML sitemap within the site crawl, so I wouldn't expect to see this. Are you seeing an error to let you know that it is missing? I took a look in your account but you have a number of campaigns and I was not sure which you were having trouble with.

          Hi Lisa,

          Thanks for responding to my question. The campaign I'm addressing is Mully's Touch of Ireland, and yes, we are seeing an error in the diagnosis section of the chrome extension, that we are missing an xml sitemap.

          Thanks,

          Robert Tapia

            Hi again Robert,

            Sorry for the delay in getting back to you about this! I've been away for a few days.

            If you submitted the sitemap directly to Google's tools, you should be seeing this in Search Console but not in the Moz tools. Google don't share this information with us (or anyone else) and it's not possible for us to detect that you've submitted this to them.

            I took a look at the site using MozBar and am still not seeing an error to say that you're missing an XML sitemap. We don't check for this as one of the page elements so I'm not sure where the error you're seeing would be coming from. If you'd like to send me a screenshot of the error you're seeing, to help@moz.com, I can look into it further for you.
