Frequently asked questions

What is an XML sitemap?
An XML sitemap is a file that lists all the important URLs on your website, along with metadata like last modified date, change frequency, and priority. It helps search engines discover and crawl all your pages efficiently.
How do I submit a sitemap to Google?
Go to Google Search Console → Sitemaps → enter your sitemap URL (e.g. https://yourdomain.com/sitemap.xml) → Submit. Google will crawl and index the sitemap within a few days.
What should I set for priority?
Priority (0.0–1.0) indicates the relative importance of URLs within your site. Homepage: 1.0, main category pages: 0.8, blog posts: 0.6–0.7, utility pages: 0.4–0.5. Note: Google treats priority as a hint, not a directive.
What is changefreq?
changefreq is a hint to crawlers about how often the page content changes. Values: always, hourly, daily, weekly, monthly, yearly, never. Google uses it as a hint but determines actual crawl frequency based on its own signals.
Do I need a sitemap if my site is small?
Sitemaps are most beneficial for large sites (500+ pages), sites with complex navigation, new sites with few external links, or sites with rich media content. Small sites with good internal linking usually get crawled fine without one.
