About this tool

XML sitemaps list URLs you want search engines to discover, with optional lastmod, changefreq, and priority hints. Build a valid sitemap.xml without hand-editing XML.

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

Common use cases

  • Launching new sites with a small page set
  • Adding lastmod after content updates
  • Generating sitemap snippets for static site deploys
  • Teaching sitemap protocol structure

How to use

  1. Enter URLs one per line or via form fields.
  2. Set optional lastmod, changefreq, and priority per URL if supported.
  3. Generate sitemap.xml output.
  4. Upload to your server and reference it in robots.txt.

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.

FAQ

Is sitemap required for SEO?

Helpful for discovery, not mandatory. Strong internal linking also helps crawlers.

HTTP vs HTTPS URLs?

Use canonical HTTPS URLs consistent with your live site.

Include noindex pages?

No. List only URLs you want indexed.

Sitemap index files?

Large sites use sitemap_index.xml pointing to multiple child sitemaps.
