Walk through it

Follow the same sequence you see in the tool

Workflow

Generate a sitemap

Use this flow when you have URLs ready for export.

  1. Paste or upload the URL list.
  2. Review crawl hints and any validation warnings.
  3. Copy the XML sitemap once the list looks correct.

What you get

Check the result before you copy it into the next step

XML sitemap

The sitemap text is ready to copy into your site.

Validation hints

Warnings help you catch duplicate or invalid URLs.

Avoid these mistakes

Small input problems create the biggest conversion errors

Duplicate URLs

Remove duplicates before you export the sitemap.

Blocked pages included

Check crawl hints so the sitemap only includes pages you want indexed.

Glossary

Decode the terms before you act on them

This section translates the most technical labels on the page into plain language so you can interpret the output without opening another tab.

XML sitemap

An XML sitemap is a machine-readable file that lists canonical URLs you want search engines to discover and revisit.

Canonical URL

The canonical URL is the preferred version of a page that should represent duplicated or similar URLs.

changefreq

changefreq is a sitemap hint about how often a page may change. Search engines may ignore it, but teams still use it for planning and review.

priority

priority is a sitemap hint that expresses relative importance within the same site. It is not a ranking score.
