Customizing Google Websitemap Settings
Website Builder allows you to customize a Websitemap of your website. Websitemaps created with Website Builder let Google know how often your Website is updated, and how to look at your Website. There are two Websitemap settings you can customize:
- Change Frequency
- Change Frequency tells Google how often you update a particular page. This is especially helpful if you update your Web page frequently.
- Priority
- Google Websitemaps allow you to prioritize your Web pages. You prioritize pages relative to their importance WITHIN your Website. This does not affect your search engine rankings. It tells search engines that certain pages on your Website are more important than others. For instance, you may want to call more attention to a home page, or a sales page. 0.0 is the lowest priority, 0.5 is the middle priority, and 1.0 is the highest priority. Assigning all of your pages a priority of 1.0 will not help your ranking.
To Customize Your Google Websitemap Settings
- Log in to your Website Builder account.
- If you are working in the Page Designer, click Exit Designer.
- From the Manage menu, select Google Websitemap.
- Select a Change Frequency and Priority for the pages you want to customize.
- Click OK.
