Use this free XML Sitemap Generator to create XML sitemaps that help search engines discover and crawl your website more efficiently. Enter your site details, configure options, and generate a sitemap file compatible with major search engines.

Instead of hand-writing XML files, let the generator build a valid sitemap structure that you can upload to your site and submit to Google Search Console or other webmaster tools.

What the XML Sitemap Generator Does

The generator helps you:

Create an XML sitemap file listing important URLs on your website.
Specify update frequency and priority (if supported by your workflow).
Ensure the sitemap follows basic XML and sitemap protocol requirements.

You can then make the sitemap available at a standard location, such as https://www.example.com/sitemap.xml, and reference it in your robots.txt file.

Why Use an XML Sitemap?

Improve Crawl Coverage

Sitemaps help search engines find new or hard-to-discover pages, especially on larger or more complex sites.

Highlight Important URLs

By listing key pages in a sitemap, you can guide search engines toward the most valuable content on your site.

Monitor Indexing in Search Console

Submitting a sitemap to search engine webmaster tools gives you visibility into which URLs are indexed and whether any issues were encountered.

Structure of sitemap XML

All of the major search engines support the formalized XML data protocol as defined on Sitemaps.org. A sample of the XML code used in a Sitemap looks like this:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<urlset
  xmlns="http://www.sitemaps.org/schemas/sitemap/0.9">
  <url>
      <loc>http://www.example.com/</loc>
      <lastmod>2012-04-30</lastmod>
      <changefreq>monthly</changefreq>
      <priority>1.0</priority>
  </url>
  <url>
      <loc>http://www.example.com/about-us.html</loc>
      <changefreq>yearly</changefreq>
      <priority>0.4</priority>
  </url>
</urlset>

If you think you are worth what you know, you are very wrong. Your knowledge today does not have much value beyond a couple of years. Your value is what you can learn and how easily you can adapt to the changes this profession brings so often.
