What to Do After Generating Your Sitemap
- Download the file: Click "Download sitemap.xml" button
- Upload to your site: Place in root directory (e.g., example.com/sitemap.xml)
- Update robots.txt: Add line:
Sitemap: https://example.com/sitemap.xml - Submit to Google: Use Google Search Console → Sitemaps
- Submit to Bing: Use Bing Webmaster Tools → Sitemaps
- Verify submission: Check for errors in search console
- Monitor coverage: Track indexed pages over time

Who It's For
New Sites
Get indexed faster when launching
Large Sites
Ensure complete page coverage
E-commerce
Index product pages quickly
Content Sites
Keep fresh content discoverable
Frequency depends on how often your site changes:
- Daily: News sites, frequently updated blogs
- Weekly: E-commerce with regular new products
- Monthly: Corporate sites, portfolios with occasional updates
- After major changes: Redesigns, migrations, large content additions
robots.txt tells search engines what NOT to crawl (blocking access).
sitemap.xml tells search engines what TO crawl (helping discovery).
Both work together: robots.txt blocks unwanted areas, sitemap.xml highlights important pages. Most sites need both.
No, sitemaps don't guarantee indexing, but they significantly improve your chances.
Search engines may still choose not to index pages if:
- Content is duplicate or low quality
- Page is blocked by robots.txt or noindex tag
- Site has technical issues (errors, extremely slow loading)
- Domain is new with low authority
