SEO HACK WITH GOOGLE DOC

How to simply get all the URLs of your sitemaps in an excel sheet without any help of a tool.

Now you can extract all the URLs in the sitemap using Google sheets.

But How? 🤔🤔

  1. Open Google Doc
  2. Go-To Tools
  3. Go To Script Editor
  4. Add A script mentioned below

function getSitemap(url) {
var results=[];
if(!url)return;
var sitemap=UrlFetchApp.fetch(url,{muteHttpExceptions:true, method:”GET”, followRedirects:true});
var document = sitemap.getContentText().split(“<url>”);
var docHead=document.splice(0,1);

for(var i=0;i<document.length;i++) results.push(document[i].split(“</loc>”)[0].split(“<loc>”)[1].replace(/&amp;/g,”&”));

return results;
}

5. Run The Script
6. Now go back to the sheet and put the sitemap URL in one tab. eg abc.com/sitemap.xml

7. In another tab use the formula =getsitemap(cell number) It will automatically extract all the URLs of the sitemap. If you find this helpful then kindly share and do like and comment.
