XML Sitemaps
Master Sitemap Index
/main_sitemap.xml is the master index pointing to all sub-sitemaps. Submit this single URL to Google Search Console and all your content gets crawled.
Article Sitemaps
Paginated article sitemaps (up to 50,000 URLs each) with last-modified dates and image entries. Automatically updated every time you publish.
Categories Sitemap
Every category page included with its URL and last activity date. Google crawls your category pages — which drive significant long-tail traffic.
Authors Sitemap
Author profile pages included in the sitemap. Builds author authority signals in Google — important for E-E-A-T (Experience, Expertise, Authority, Trust).
Pages Sitemap
Static pages (About, Contact, Terms, etc.) included with proper lastmod dates. Nothing gets left out of Google's index.
Image Sitemaps
Every article URL entry includes an <image:image> element with the featured image URL and alt text. Google Image Search sends real traffic — don't miss it.
