I have 4 websites in the same niche. 2 of them I have submitted their sitemap to Google and the other two I haven't.

The sites which I haven't submitted their sitemaps to google search console are ranking for more keywords.

LOL I might follow your lead for my next sites :D

To your question: normally, I always recommend people to submit the sitemaps to their GSC, but after reading this I'm not sure anymore :)

Yes, i think submitting a sitemaps is not actual factor for ranking. your website's pages can rank without submitting sitemaps. But still , sitemaps are good to increase the crawling budget of you websites.
 
Yes, you should submit your sitemap to GSC. That being said, as your example shows, it's not the only factor to rank on Google, but it's one of them.
 
If its ranking for more keywords avoid submitting it to GSC... SEO pros will suggest to submit it.
 
I believe is just coincident, try to submit, and if keyword missing or traffic lost, you prove some thing worthty.
 
Submitting a sitemap to Google Search Console does not guarantee ranking success. It's possible that the two websites that aren't submitted have better content or better SEO optimization. Keep monitoring and optimizing all your websites for better performance.
 
Sitemaps don't matter. If the internal linking on your site is top notch google will crawl your sites naturally.
As for keywords ranking, it's maybe because you nailed your keyword research and wrote solid articles.

All the above sites are around 1 month old. should I delete the two sites that have their sitemap submitted or wait?
 
Very unusual. But it has nothing to do with sitemap submitted to gsc or not. Submitting sitemap to gsc is always beneficial.
 
If it's on an upward trajectory, you don't have to add it atm
To track user behavior, you'll need analytics later on
 
Submitting or not submitting a sitemap won't impact your rankings.

The only thing it can impact (slightly) is getting your URLs being discovered by Google. Google will automatically crawl your new posts in 99% of the cases, if you add internal links to them, or if they appear on the home page under 'latest posts'.

So a sitemap does not move the needle, but you should still submit it (especially for new blogs) to increase your chances of getting indexed.
 
Submit the sitemap irrespective of all the screenshots you shared. There are many other factors responsible for the growth of non-sitemap pages.
 
Submitting a sitemap to Google Search Console doesn't necessarily mean better rankings. It's just a way to inform Google about your website's pages and their priority. Rankings depend on many factors, such as content, backlinks, user experience, and more.

So, keep focusing on creating high-quality content, optimizing your website for users and search engines, and building a strong backlink profile.
 
Hello mate, Don't worry site map is not important to rank your site.
 
Performing this action is not determined by a single factor and many parameters can have an effect. However, submitting it can still help Google better understand your website.
 
Sitemap will help your content get discovered fast but its not mandatory thing to do
 
If you're going with multiple sites then you shouldn't be using any G tools. Adding your sites to GSC while scaling up is basically asking for penalties.

That's sad to know. I hope to join a good ad network but most of them I think require google analytic.

what about using 1 Google account for 1 site?
