Upload to your site root as sitemap.xml, then submit in Google Search Console.

Why submit a sitemap?

Google's crawler discovers most pages by following links. But for new sites, deep pages, or pages without strong internal links, a sitemap is the difference between getting indexed in days versus weeks. It's also the cleanest way to tell Google which pages you consider canonical.

Sitemap.xml limits

  • 50,000 URLs per sitemap — beyond that, split into multiple sitemaps and use a sitemap index.
  • 50 MB uncompressed — most sites never hit this.
  • URLs must be absolute and use the same protocol (HTTPS) as your canonical domain.

What priority and change frequency really do

Google has publicly said priority and change-frequency are mostly ignored. They're still useful for Bing, Yandex, and other crawlers — and they document your intent. The fields that actually matter to Google: <loc> (the URL) and <lastmod> (when it last changed).

After you generate

  1. Download the file as sitemap.xml.
  2. Upload it to your site's root — e.g., https://yoursite.com/sitemap.xml.
  3. Add Sitemap: https://yoursite.com/sitemap.xml to your robots.txt.
  4. In Google Search Console, go to Sitemaps and submit the URL.
  5. Repeat for Bing Webmaster Tools.
