Image sitemaps inform search engines about image content location on your website.
The Complete Image Sitemap plugin will generate a sitemap for your WordPress-based website with the image URLs that are attached to your posts: both blog posts, pages and other types, such as Woocommerce products.
It is also possible to specify the license for all images on your website. Be careful before you donate everything to the public domain though :-).
The plugin is written by
Herbert van-Vliet of
Remark.no, and is based on Amit Agarwal's image sitemap plugin.
Here's how you can install the plugin:
- Upload the plugin folder and its content to the /wp-content/plugins/ directory on your webserver.
- Activate the plugin via the 'Plugins' menu in WordPress.
- Expand the Tools menu from WordPress dashboard sidebar and select "Complete Image Sitemap".
- Click the "Generate Image Sitemap" button to create your sitemap.
- Once you have created your sitemap, you can submit it to Google using Webmaster Tools.
