Frequently Asked Questions
Where do I put the sitemap.xml file?
The sitemap should be placed in the root directory of your website (e.g.,
yoursite.com/sitemap.xml). This allows crawlers to find it easily.What is the priority attribute?
Priority (0.0 to 1.0) tells search engines which pages are most important to you. It does not affect how you rank against other websites, only which of your own pages are prioritized.
Does Google still use XML sitemaps?
Yes. While Google can find pages through links, an XML sitemap is highly recommended for large sites, new sites with few backlinks, or sites with rich media content.
