## What is Sitemap Generator?

Sitemap Generator is a free SEO tool from Farvixo that lets you build sitemap.xml from a list of URLs. It checks your input against current search-engine documentation and explains what to change and why, rather than only returning a score. Free and unlimited, with no account and no per-report credit system.

## How to use Sitemap Generator

1. **Enter your URL or content** — Give Sitemap Generator the page address or the text you want checked.
2. **Run the analysis** — Sitemap Generator inspects the content against current search-engine guidance and scores what it finds.
3. **Act on the report** — Work through the findings, each with what to change and why it matters. Re-run it afterwards to confirm the fix.

## Use cases

- Auditing a page before publishing it or after a redesign
- Generating valid structured data without hand-writing JSON-LD
- Site owners diagnosing why a page is not appearing in search results
- Agencies producing a quick technical check for a client site

## Tips

- Fix indexing and crawling problems before tuning titles — a page that cannot be crawled cannot rank however good the copy is.
- Validate generated structured data in Google's Rich Results Test before deploying it.
- Re-run the check after deploying so you are measuring what is live, not what you drafted.

## Common problems

- **A page will not fetch** — The site blocks automated requests, or requires a login. Check robots.txt and test the URL in a private browsing window.
- **Structured data validates but shows no rich result** — Valid markup makes a page eligible, not guaranteed. Google decides per query, and new markup can take weeks to be picked up.
- **The report contradicts another SEO tool** — Different tools weight signals differently. Treat the underlying finding as the fact and the score as one opinion.

## FAQ

### Where does sitemap.xml go?

At the root of your domain — example.com/sitemap.xml. Then reference it in robots.txt and submit it in Google Search Console and Bing Webmaster Tools. A sitemap nobody knows about does nothing.

### Does a sitemap guarantee my pages get indexed?

No, and this is worth being clear about. A sitemap helps a search engine discover URLs. Whether each one is indexed is a separate judgement about whether the page is worth including. Discovery and indexing are different problems.

### Do priority and changefreq matter?

Google has said it largely ignores both, because site owners set everything to priority 1.0 and changefreq daily. Lastmod is the field that does get used — provided it is accurate. A lastmod that updates on every build is noise.

### How many URLs can one sitemap hold?

50,000 URLs or 50 MB uncompressed, whichever comes first. Beyond that, split into several sitemaps and list them in a sitemap index file.

### Should I include every URL?

Only canonical, indexable ones. Listing redirects, noindex pages or duplicates sends contradictory signals — a sitemap is a statement about what matters, not an inventory.
