Website planning & XML sitemaps
Plan a logical page structure and create an XML sitemap to help search engines discover your public pages. Get help with robots.txt, URL changes and sitemap submission.
How we can help
- Page hierarchy and navigation planning
- XML sitemap and robots.txt setup
- Redirect planning for replacement pages
Plan a structure customers can follow
We organise your services and supporting information into a sensible page hierarchy, with clear navigation and links between related topics. For rebuilds, we can review existing URLs and plan redirects for pages that are being replaced or moved.
Help search engines discover your pages
An XML sitemap lists the canonical pages intended for search, while robots.txt provides the appropriate crawl guidance and sitemap location. We can help submit the sitemap in Google Search Console and explain the resulting reports. Submission supports discovery but does not guarantee that every page will be indexed.
Search results and indexing decisions are controlled by Google. We focus on useful content, sound technical foundations and practical improvements; rankings and inclusion cannot be guaranteed.
