What is an XML sitemap?

An XML sitemap is a file that lists all the important URLs on your website, helping search engines like Google and Bing discover and crawl your pages more efficiently.

How do I submit an XML sitemap to Google?

Upload your sitemap.xml to your website's root directory, then submit it via Google Search Console under Indexing › Sitemaps. You can also reference it in your robots.txt file.

What should the priority value be in a sitemap?

Priority values range from 0.0 to 1.0. The homepage typically gets 1.0, key category pages 0.8, blog posts 0.6, and tag or archive pages 0.4.
