i have created web site using asp.net mvc-5 . , have hosted 1 of hosting provider , register web site google app.

now after 1.5 months of publishing web site online start returned seach engines google , bing. result result not list web site links (such contact, our project, our team, etc). read need create site map web site follow:-

  1. from understanding need create robots.txt inside root of asp.net mvc , need specify location of site map follow:-
user-agent: * disallow:  sitemap: http://mywebsite.com/sitemap 
  1. then need create xml list main links.

but have following questions:-

  1. if above steps , search engines able understand site map automatically, or have submite site map google , bing ?

  2. is there change site map returned in search result without creating site map ? thanks

search engines automatically detect sitemap if it's in robots.txt. but, i'd recommend creating account on google webmasters tools and/or bing webmasters tools. provide great information ranking , can check if found error crawling sitemap or website.

also remember search engines take little time start crawling website frequently, because don't have "trust". change after time.
