SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve? Website owners and SEO practitioners struggle to verify that their XML sitemaps follow protocol rules, contain only valid indexable URLs, and scale correctly, or they need to generate a well-structured sitemap from scratch without creating thin programmatic pages that risk search penalties. ## Core Features & Use Cases - Sitemap Validation: Checks XML format, the 50,000 URL per-file limit, HTTP 200 status of listed URLs, accurate lastmod dates, robots.txt references, and flags non-canonical, noindexed, or redirected URLs. - Sitemap Generation: Builds new sitemaps from industry templates with interactive structure planning, quality gates on programmatic location pages, and automatic splitting with a sitemap index at scale. - Issue Reporting: Produces a VALIDATION-REPORT.md with severity-ranked issues and fixes, plus STRUCTURE.md documentation for generated sites. - Use Case: An SEO specialist auditing a client's site can validate the existing sitemap, find broken or noindexed URLs included by mistake, and receive a prioritized fix list. ## Quick Start Analyze the sitemap at https://example.com/sitemap.xml and report any validation issues with recommended fixes.

Frequently Asked Questions about seo-sitemap

High-intent search queries and answers about installing and using this skill.

FAQPage Schema
How do I validate an XML sitemap for SEO issues?▼

Sitemap validation checks XML format correctness, confirms all URLs return HTTP 200, verifies lastmod dates are accurate, and ensures the sitemap is referenced in robots.txt. It also flags non-canonical, noindexed, or redirected URLs that should be removed.

How to generate a sitemap for a new website?▼

Sitemap generation starts by identifying the business type, loading an industry template, and planning the site structure interactively. The output is valid XML split into multiple files with a sitemap index when exceeding 50,000 URLs, plus STRUCTURE.md documentation.

What is the maximum number of URLs allowed in one sitemap file?▼

A single sitemap file is limited to 50,000 URLs by protocol. Sites exceeding this limit must split URLs across multiple sitemap files and reference them through a sitemap index file.

Should I include priority and changefreq tags in my sitemap?▼

Priority and changefreq tags are ignored by Google and can be safely removed from sitemaps. They are flagged as informational issues during validation rather than errors.

Why are noindexed or redirected URLs a problem in sitemaps?▼

Noindexed URLs in a sitemap send conflicting signals to search engines, and redirected URLs waste crawl budget. Both should be removed so the sitemap lists only final, indexable, canonical HTTPS URLs.

When do programmatic location pages create SEO penalty risk?▼

Location pages with only the city name swapped create thin duplicate content that risks penalties. The generation workflow warns at 30+ location pages requiring 60% unique content and hard-stops at 50+ pages without justification.
