Frequently Asked Questions
An XML Sitemap is a file that lists all the important URLs on a website. It acts as a roadmap for search engines like Google, helping them find and understand your site structure, which can lead to faster and more efficient indexing of your content.
Discoverability is key. A sitemap ensures that search engines and AI answer engines are aware of all your pages, including new content or pages that are not well-linked internally. This comprehensive awareness helps them crawl and index your content more effectively, making it available to be served as answers to user queries.
• `changefreq` (change frequency) is a hint to crawlers about how often the content of a specific page is likely to change.
• `priority` tells search engines which URLs you deem most important relative to other pages on your site (on a scale of 0.0 to 1.0).
Note: Google has stated that they largely ignore `priority` and `changefreq` now, but it's still good practice to include them as other search engines may still use them.
