Site card control using the file of the site card index in Google

If the size of your site card exceeds the set restrictions, you will need to divide it into several parts, each of which will be less than the maximum size. After you divide the site card, you can use the site of the site card index file to send several site cards at the same time in Google.

Recommendations for using the file of the site card index for your site in Google

XML format of the site card index file is similar to the XML format of the site card file and is determined by the SITEMAP protocol. This means that all requirements for sites cards are also applied to the files of the site card index.

Links to the site cards specified in the index file should be posted on the same site as the site of the site card index. This requirement is not necessary if you set up data from other sites.

Site cards mentioned in the site of the site card index should be in the same directory as the index file, or below the site hierarchy. For example, if the site of the site card index is located at https://example.com/public/sitemap_index.xml, it can contain only site cards in the same or deeper directory, for example, https: //example.com/public/shahed/....

You can send up to 500 files of the site card index for each site in your Search Console account.
