Does the generator host my files?

No. Download the outputs and host them within your deployment pipeline or CDN.

Can I add image or video sitemap entries?

Yes. Use the advanced fields to annotate media resources within each URL entry.

How do I test my robots.txt?

Upload the generated file to Search Console’s robots tester or curl it from staging to confirm HTTP headers.

Overview

Maintaining crawl directives across multiple environments can be tedious. This generator keeps robots.txt and sitemaps in sync so dev and marketing teams stay aligned.

Everything runs locally, meaning staging URLs or pre-launch architecture plans remain private.

Key features

Dual file workflow
Configure robots.txt rules and sitemap entries side-by-side, ensuring directives reference the correct sitemap URL automatically.
Bulk URL import
Paste newline-separated URLs or upload a list to generate sitemap entries instantly.
Metadata controls
Set changefreq, priority, and lastmod values to communicate update cadences to search engines.
Instant validation
Receive inline feedback on malformed URLs or directives so you can ship compliant files the first time.

How it works

1
Add sitemap URLs
Enter canonical URLs, adjust metadata fields, and confirm last modified dates if available.
2
Configure robots directives
Set user-agents, allow/disallow rules, and auto-link the sitemap path within the robots.txt preview.
3
Review output
Inspect the generated XML and text outputs to catch typos or duplication before exporting.
4
Download & deploy
Export robots.txt and sitemap.xml for your deployment pipeline or CDN rules.

Use cases

Site migrations

Generate environment-specific directives to keep staging URLs blocked while production remains crawlable.

Content launches

Add new landing pages to the sitemap and bump changefreq to daily during launch windows.

Technical audits

Document robots directives alongside sitemap coverage for SEO reports.

Examples & tips

Prepare for a product launch

Add the new product URLs, set changefreq to weekly, and allow bots while blocking staging paths.

Lock down beta environments

Disallow all bots except QA user agents while pointing to a staging-only sitemap.

Publish an hreflang sitemap

Use separate sitemap files per locale and reference them from robots.txt for easier maintenance.

Pro tips

Automate sitemap regeneration after each deploy using the Data Converter to transform CSV exports into XML.
Pair with the SEO Meta Preview to ensure new URLs ship with polished snippets.
