Uninstalling Ongoing SEO Sitemap

You can remove Ongoing SEO Sitemap at any time. Here's what happens to your sitemap page and what to tidy up afterwards.

How to uninstall

1. In your Shopify admin, go to Settings > Apps.

2. Find Ongoing SEO Sitemap and click the ⋯ menu next to it.

3. Click Uninstall, then confirm.

What happens to your sitemap page

Your sitemap page at yourstore.com/tools/sitemap stops working as soon as you uninstall. Visitors who open it will see a "page not found" error.

Remove your footer link

If you added a sitemap link to your footer, remove it. Otherwise shoppers and Google will land on a broken page. Go to Online Store > Navigation, open your footer menu, delete the sitemap link and click Save menu.

Your XML sitemap

Your XML sitemap at yourstore.com/sitemap.xml is made by Shopify, not by the app. It keeps working after you uninstall, so you don't need to change anything in Google Search Console.

Billing

When you uninstall, Shopify cancels your app subscription. You won't be charged for the app after that.

Good to know

• Your sitemap settings are deleted about 48 hours after you uninstall. If you reinstall before then, your settings should still be there. After that, you'll start again with the default sitemap.

• If you reinstall, you'll need an active plan again before your sitemap page shows your links.
