XML sitemaps

A sitemap architecture that matches publishing.

Keep index, post, news, image, and related discovery endpoints understandable. Use the generated sitemap as a map—not a guarantee of indexing or Discover placement.

What to expect

  • Sitemap index and posts discovery
  • News sitemap eligibility guidance
  • Canonical URL and exclusion considerations
  • Search Console validation checklist

Read the documentation hub for practical setup guidance and validation notes. PublishRank is a tool for building a stronger foundation; search engines still make their own indexing and presentation decisions.
