About XML Sitemap Generator

This tool is developed to specially cater for the SEO requirements necessary for good ranking.

Our tool allows you to create a sitemap with as much as 500 pages, several change frequencies, and default priorities.

In the process of generating a sitemap, this tool can also serve as your webpage counter. It helps you calculate the total number of pages as well as the actual number of indexed pages on your website. If in any case, your indexing value appears to be going down, you can then take the necessary action to improve it.

Our Sitemap maker is superbly flexible. It supports major search engines including Google and Bing. It can also work for your site irrespective of whether you are using WordPress or any other site builder.

Most XML creators on the market require you to possess some form of coding skills to use them. But our tool is different. You don't need to have any coding knowledge to generate XML Sitemaps with it.

This makes the tool extremely easy to use and user-friendly.

HOW TO USE THIS XML SITEMAP GENERATOR

XML Sitemap Generator by Small SEO Tools is a powerful tool, but like any powerful tool, a little training and background on how all the bits work goes a long way.

So let's run up on the exact steps you'll need to follow to use the the tool in the most efficient way:

Step #1: On the XML Sitemap Generator section, enter your website URL.

Step #2: Specify the optional custom parameters according to your preferences. The parameters include the number of pages you need to crawl, the change frequency, the default priority, and the dates.

Step #3: Once you've specified the parameters you want, click on the “Generate Sitemap” button.

The tool will take a few moments to analyze your request, crawl your site, and generate a sitemap for you based on the details you provided.

Step #4: Once the tool has completed the process, it will present you with the sitemap details, including the number of pages, list of broken links, XML file content, and the link to the sitemap file.

Step #5: Next, click on “Save As XML File” to download the sitemap file in a .xml format.

Step #6: Next up, proceed to the root directory of your website and put the sitemap.xml file into the domain root folder. In the event that you have multiple sitemaps cooped up in a sitemap.zip file, unzip it and upload all the sitemap files to root directory of your website.

Step #7: As an additional step, go to your Google Search Console (formerly Google Webmaster Tools) account and add your sitemap URL. Like stated earlier, our free online tool also supports other major search engines apart from Google. So if you're a Bing person, you'd just have to go to your Bing Webmaster Tools account to add it.

Submitting your XML file to the search engines (via Google Search Console for Google) is a way to verify it. Just ensure that the Sitemap is in the correct format and has been properly uploaded to your webserver before you attempt to verify it.

If your website is new, submitting your Sitemap to Google pushes the search engine to discover and index your site sooner than they would have discovered it on their own.

We hope the above information has helped you to make the most of our free online XML map creator. We also have other SEO tools which you may find useful, including Page Speed Test, Seo Checker, and Website Broken Link Checker.
