Submit sitemaps in Google Search Console and Bing Webmaster Tools after publishing.

Understanding the result
- urlset must include xmlns and valid <url><loc> entries with absolute URLs.
- priority is relative hint only (0.0–1.0); Google largely ignores changefreq/priority.
- lastmod should reflect real content change dates in ISO 8601 format.
- Split sitemaps over 50k URLs or 50MB uncompressed per Google limits.
