Sitemap priority
A relative importance hint (0.0–1.0) inside a sitemap.
Definition
Use higher priorities for hubs and money pages; keep legal pages lower. It is a hint, not a ranking guarantee.
In practice
- Use precise language on public pages so assistants and crawlers share the same meaning
- Pair definitions with crawlable HTML, metadata, and intentional robots policy
- Measure outcomes (mentions, citations, pillar scores) after you change signals
