Indexing & Discovery

Every URL Google Should See. In One File.

Generate XML sitemaps for posts, pages, custom post types, news, and image content. Submit them directly to Google Search Console from the dashboard — no copy-paste, no "where did I put that XML file" hunt. Re-submit after every batch of new content with one click.

Different Content Needs Different Sitemaps

Google has separate sitemap schemas for content types. News content needs a news: namespace with publication date and language. Image content has its own image: namespace for alt text and titles. Standard pages just need <loc> and <lastmod>. SEObolt generates the right schema for whatever content type you're indexing.

📝

Standard Sitemap

Default XML sitemap covering every page in your site. Includes loc, lastmod, changefreq, and priority per URL. Available on every plan.

📰

News Sitemap Business+

Google News namespace with publication name, language, genres, and publication date. Required for Google News inclusion.

📷

Image Sitemap Business+

image: namespace with image URL, title, and caption per page. Boosts visibility in Google Images.

🎬

Video Sitemap Business+

video: namespace with thumbnail, duration, and description per video. Helps Google understand and surface video content.

📂

Sitemap Index Business+

Parent sitemap that points to all your child sitemaps. The single URL you submit to GSC so it discovers the rest.

Skip the Manual GSC Trip on Every Content Drop

Most SEO tools generate the sitemap and leave you to open Google Search Console, paste the URL, hit submit. SEObolt is connected to GSC via the same OAuth your Rank Tracking uses — click Submit Sitemap and we hit the GSC API directly. The submission status, last-fetched date, and any errors come back into the dashboard.

  • One-click submit: sitemap URL pushed to GSC via the Webmaster Tools API
  • Submission status: see whether Google has fetched and processed it
  • Error reporting: if GSC rejects the sitemap, the actual error message comes back in the UI — not a generic "submission failed"
  • Re-submit on every regen: after adding 50 new pages, one click re-submits the updated sitemap
  • Bing IndexNow: paired with our Instant Indexing feature, individual URLs hit Bing + Yandex via the IndexNow API
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?> <urlset xmlns="http://www.sitemaps.org/schemas/sitemap/0.9"> <url> <loc>https://example.com/blog/post-1</loc> <lastmod>2026-06-01</lastmod> <changefreq>weekly</changefreq> <priority>0.8</priority> </url> ... </urlset>

Spec-compliant XML with optional lastmod, changefreq, and priority per URL. Image and news extensions are added automatically when present.

Stop Wasting Crawl Budget on Pages That Don't Matter

Google has a per-site crawl budget. Sites with thousands of low-value pages (tag archives, paginated lists, expired event pages) waste that budget on content that doesn't drive search traffic. SEObolt lets you exclude content types, set per-section priorities, and configure change-frequency hints so Google's crawler focuses on the URLs that matter.

  • Per-section toggles: exclude posts / pages / specific CPTs / tags / categories
  • Priority levels: tell Google which sections deserve more frequent recrawls (0.0 to 1.0 per URL)
  • Change-frequency hints: always / hourly / daily / weekly / monthly / yearly / never
  • Max URLs per sitemap: auto-splits into multiple files when over 50,000 URLs (Google's hard limit)
  • Exclude URL patterns: regex-based exclusions for staging URLs, test pages, admin sections

Yes, Google Can Crawl Without a Sitemap. But It Doesn't Crawl Well.

A common misconception is that Google's crawler can find everything via internal links so sitemaps are optional. In practice, sitemaps tell Google three things internal linking can't: which URLs you consider canonical, how recently each one was updated, and how often it changes. For sites larger than ~100 pages, that's the difference between "Google finds your new content in a day" and "Google finds your new content in two weeks." For news sites, the difference is whether you land in Google News at all.
