Create a standards-compliant XML sitemap in under a minute. Our free generator takes your list of page URLs and produces a sitemap.xml with last-modified dates, change frequencies, and priorities β ready to upload and submit to Google Search Console.
Your sitemap.xml will appear here...
Sitemaps help search engines discover and crawl your pages faster. After generating, upload sitemap.xml to your domain root and submit it in Google Search Console.
Sitemaps are how you tell Google 'here are all my pages, please crawl them.' New sites and large sites benefit most: without a sitemap, deep pages can take weeks to be discovered through links alone. Our generator formats everything to the sitemaps.org protocol so Search Console accepts it without errors, and including lastmod dates helps Google prioritize recrawling your freshly updated content.
Up to 50,000 URLs or 50MB uncompressed per sitemap file. Larger sites need multiple sitemaps plus a sitemap index file that lists them all.
In Google Search Console under the Sitemaps section β and reference it in your robots.txt with a 'Sitemap:' line so crawlers find it on their own.
No β it helps discovery, but Google still decides what to index based on quality and usefulness. Think of a sitemap as an invitation, not a command.
It's only a hint, from 0.0 to 1.0. Give your homepage 1.0 and key landing pages 0.8. Note that priority doesn't directly boost rankings β crawl frequency matters more.
