XML sitemaps, minus the pages Google rejects.

GenMap crawls your site, writes a sitemap with only the pages that can be indexed, and shows you what kept the rest out.

Free sample of up to 30 pages, no account needed.

A real crawl, replayed

Replay of a real crawl of pablomurad.com: 112 pages found, 112 in the sitemap, 0 kept out, 0 broken links.

Replay of a real crawl of pablomurad.com, Oct 19, 2026. The pages, counts and XML come from that crawl's own output. Kept out and broken stay at 0 because this site has none.

Crawl, diagnose, write

Every crawl runs the same three steps. The numbers here come from the pablomurad.com crawl above.

  1. Crawl

    GenMap starts at your home page and follows every internal link, the way a search engine does. From one address it found 112 pages on pablomurad.com.

    • /about/111 links in
    • /search/111 links in
  2. Diagnose

    Each page goes through the checks Google applies to a sitemap: does it answer 200, is it marked noindex, does its canonical point to another URL. Then the links: which ones are broken, and which pages nothing links to.

    problems found in 7 checks

    • Pages not answering 200 0
    • Pages marked noindex 0
    • Canonical pointing elsewhere 0
    • Broken internal links 0
    • Orphan pages 0
    • Pages without a title 0
    • Pages without a description 0
  3. Write

    Only pages that pass go into sitemap.xml, 112 of 112 here. Images and news articles get their own files, and an index ties them together for Search Console.

What a basic free generator misses

A free generator gives you a list of URLs. GenMap also checks which URLs belong on that list and tells you why the others do not.

  • Sitemap lists only indexable pages (no errors, noindex or canonicalized URLs)

Frequently asked questions

An XML sitemap is a file that lists the pages you want search engines to index. It helps Google and Bing find new pages faster, especially on large sites and on pages with few internal links.

Start with your site's address.

The free sample checks up to 30 pages right here. A free account crawls up to 500 pages and gives you the full sitemap to download.
