Sitemap Priority and Recency

[ReunionMarketing]

Perhaps more of a discussion here than a definite answer, but we are looking at making periodic changes to the priority and recency of our sitemap pages, but would have to repopulate that information each time our plugin updates for our WordPress site. Is this something that is even worth doing or are these updates not impactful enough to merit adding it to our process?

Thanks all!

Hello,

I would be happy to put in my 2 cents for this conversation. In general, what you are considering is only a worthwhile investment of time and resources if your website is consistently building content or currently has an enormous load of it. In other words, if this is a huge website with 1000's of pieces of content (I'm thinking something along the lines of a PR company, media hub or entertainment daily), then this is definitely advisable.

If not, you can probably get a bigger bang for your buck in other sectors of SEO.

If you want to discuss or bounce some ideas off of me, feel free to reach out!

Best regards and good luck with moving forward,

Rob
