Sitemap (XML Sitemap)

An XML sitemap is a file listing all important pages on a website, helping search engines discover and crawl content efficiently. It provides metadata about each URL including last modification date, change frequency, and priority. Sitemaps are especially important for larger sites.

How This Applies to Home Care Marketing

A properly configured XML sitemap ensures search engines find all your important pages—service pages, location pages, and blog content. Submit your sitemap to Google Search Console and monitor for indexing issues.

Keep sitemaps updated as you add content. Most CMS platforms and SEO plugins generate sitemaps automatically. Ensure your sitemap excludes pages you don’t want indexed (thank you pages, utility pages) while including all valuable content.

Key Takeaway

Maintain an accurate XML sitemap submitted to Google Search Console. Monitor Search Console for indexing issues that might indicate sitemap or crawling problems affecting your visibility.
