Why do you need an XML Sitemap?
- It helps search engines find and crawl all the website’s pages. In other words, it prevents bots from overlooking relevant pages and ensuring they are all indexed.
- By submitting the XML sitemap to Google, you accelerate the indexing process.
- It indicates the hierarchy of your pages. This way, the bot knows which pages to prioritize when crawling your site and makes better use of the crawl budget.
- You can provide additional information to search engines. For example, you can use the tag to indicate the pages that have been recently modified or the to specify the frequency with which you update the page. This tells them when to crawl particular pages again.
What is a sitemap generator?
A sitemap generator is a tool that crawls the content of a Website to create an XML sitemap. It automatically generates a list of all pages found on the site during the crawl.
How to submit a sitemap
Google does not look at your sitemap every time it crawls your site, but only the first time it finds it. Therefore it is crucial that you alert Google when you update it.
To make Google use your XML sitemap, you can either add it in your robots.txt file or send it to the Search Console.
To specify the path to your sitemap through the robots.txt file, you just need to insert a line like the following.
Example line:
sitemap: https://fandangoseo.com/sitemap_location.xml
