Where should I place sitemap.xml on my web server?

Upload your sitemap.xml to the root directory of your website (e.g. https://yourdomain.com/sitemap.xml) and reference it in your robots.txt file using: Sitemap: https://yourdomain.com/sitemap.xml.

How do I submit my sitemap to Google?

Log into Google Search Console, navigate to the 'Sitemaps' section in the left sidebar, enter 'sitemap.xml' in the 'Add a new sitemap' field, and click Submit.

What is the meaning of the and tags?

(0.0 to 1.0) signals the relative importance of a page compared to other pages on your site. (e.g. daily, weekly, monthly) hints how frequently the content is expected to change. Google ignores both tags, so they are off by default in this tool.
