Hey there,
I’m very new on brave community. I was looking for a way to submit my blog on brave and found this URL https://search.brave.com/submit-url .
I submit my website https://homesolarguider.com/ here, but I don’t find any way to check search search performance data as like Google and Bing shows.
Is there any other way where I can submit my XML sitemap too for Brave search engine?
Thanks!

Welcome to the community!
Unlike Google or Bing, Brave Search doesn’t actually have a webmaster console to track clicks or submit sitemaps. When you submit your URL, it just alerts their bot to crawl your site, but there’s no dashboard to view search data.
Your best option is to check your regular site analytics (like Google Analytics) and look for search.brave.com in your organic search or referral traffic. Hope that helps with your solar blog!
Thanks Prince for your reply.
The idea you share to check brave search data using Google analytics was very helpful.
Brave Search crawls and indexes the web with its own crawler and its own index, rather than simply repackaging Google or Bing results. Brave says its crawler avoids a special, easily identifiable user-agent on purpose, because it wants to avoid sites treating it differently from Googlebot, and it follows crawlability rules like noindex and robots restrictions.
How it works
Brave’s crawler discovers pages on its own, stores page content in Brave’s index, and uses that index to answer searches. Brave also uses its privacy-preserving Web Discovery Project, where opt-in Brave browser users anonymously contribute signals that help Brave decide what to crawl and how to rank it.
What “independent” means
Independent means Brave is not just querying another search engine behind the scenes and showing those results. Brave says its results come from its own stored web index, with its own ranking models and quality controls.
Practical effect
For site owners, that means being crawlable matters: pages blocked to search engines generally won’t be indexed by Brave either. It also means Brave may discover and refresh pages differently from Google because it blends crawler data with opt-in discovery signals and does not try to index every page on the web.
