Set Priority for Each Sitemap URL
Give each URL a priority value to signal which pages matter most.
Open the Sitemap GeneratorThe priority field lets you mark the relative importance of a URL on your own site, from 1.0 for key pages down to 0.0, with 0.5 as the default.
Choose one value for every URL, let the generator set it by page depth (1.0 for the homepage, 0.8 one level down, 0.6 two levels down and 0.5 deeper), or override it on a line by adding a number after a |, like /pricing | 0.9. Keep expectations realistic: Google ignores priority, and it never affects rankings, though other search engines may read it.

Frequently asked questions
What is priority in an XML sitemap?
A value from 0.0 to 1.0 that marks how important a URL is compared with other pages on the same site. The default is 0.5.
How does automatic priority work?
It uses the number of path segments: the homepage gets 1.0, /about gets 0.8, /blog/post gets 0.6 and anything deeper 0.5. A value you add to a line always wins.
Does priority affect rankings?
No. It is only a crawling hint relative to your own pages, and Google ignores it entirely. Other search engines may still read it.
Can I leave priority out?
Yes. Choose (none) and the tag is omitted; only loc is required in a sitemap.
Is the tool free?
Yes. It is free with no signup, and your URLs stay in your browser.
The All Innovativ XML Sitemap Generator sets the sitemap priority value for each URL as a fixed default, automatically by page depth, or per line. Google ignores priority, but other search engines may use it as a crawling hint. It is free and runs in the browser.
Priority ranges from 0.0 to 1.0 with 0.5 as the protocol default and is relative to other pages on the same site. Automatic mode assigns 1.0 to the homepage, 0.8 to first-level pages, 0.6 to second-level pages and 0.5 below that, and any value added after a | on a line overrides it. Priority never affects rankings and Google ignores it. Everything runs in the browser and nothing is uploaded.
