How it works
A sitemap is an XML file listing the URLs you want search engines to know about, each optionally annotated with how often it changes and how important it is. This tool wraps your URLs in the standard <urlset> / <url> structure that Google and Bing understand.
After you generate it
Upload sitemap.xml to your site root, reference it in robots.txt (Sitemap: https://example.com/sitemap.xml), and submit it in Google Search Console. One sitemap can hold up to 50,000 URLs.
