Frequently Asked Questions
What is an XML sitemap and why does my website need one?
An XML sitemap is a file that lists all important pages on your website, helping search engines like Google discover and crawl them efficiently. Without a sitemap, Googlebot may miss pages that have no inbound links. A sitemap is especially important for new websites, large websites, and pages with thin internal linking.
How do I submit a sitemap to Google?
After generating and uploading sitemap.xml to your website root, go to Google Search Console → Sitemaps → enter your sitemap URL (e.g. https://yoursite.com/sitemap.xml) → click Submit. Google will then crawl and schedule indexing of your listed pages.
How many URLs can a sitemap contain?
A single sitemap file can contain a maximum of 50,000 URLs and must be under 50MB uncompressed. For larger sites, create multiple sitemaps and reference them from a sitemap index file.
Does submitting a sitemap guarantee Google will index my pages?
No. A sitemap tells Google which pages exist and requests crawling, but Google decides which pages to index based on quality, canonical signals and content value. A sitemap increases the chance of discovery, not guaranteed indexing.
What should the sitemap priority value be?
Priority (0.1–1.0) tells search engines the relative importance of pages on your site. Set your homepage to 1.0, main service or product pages to 0.8–0.9, category pages to 0.7, blog posts to 0.6, and less important pages to 0.4–0.5. Google has stated it largely ignores priority, but Bing still uses it.
