Sitemap Analysis & Generation

Mode 1: Analyze Existing Sitemap

Validation Checks

  • Valid XML format
  • URL count <50,000 per file (protocol limit)
  • All URLs return HTTP 200
  • <lastmod> dates are accurate (not all identical)
  • No deprecated tags: <priority> and <changefreq> are ignored by Google
  • Sitemap referenced in robots.txt
  • Compare crawled pages vs sitemap; flag missing pages

Quality Signals

  • Sitemap index file if >50k URLs
  • Split by content type (pages, posts, images, videos)
  • No non-canonical URLs in sitemap
  • No noindexed URLs in sitemap
  • No redirected URLs in sitemap
  • HTTPS URLs only (no HTTP)

Common Issues

IssueSeverityFix
>50k URLs in single fileCriticalSplit with sitemap index
Non-200 URLsHighRemove or fix broken URLs
Noindexed URLs includedHighRemove from sitemap
Redirected URLs includedMediumUpdate to final URLs
All identical lastmodLowUse actual modification dates
Priority/changefreq usedInfoCan remove (ignored by Google)

Mode 2: Generate New Sitemap

Process

  1. Ask for business type (or auto-detect from existing site)
  2. Load industry template from ../seo-plan/assets/ directory
  3. Interactive structure planning with user
  4. Apply quality gates:
    • ⚠️ WARNING at 30+ location pages (require 60%+ unique content)
    • 🛑 HARD STOP at 50+ location pages (require justification)
  5. Generate valid XML output
  6. Split at 50k URLs with sitemap index
  7. Generate STRUCTURE.md documentation

Safe Programmatic Pages (OK at scale)

✅ Integration pages (with real setup docs) ✅ Template/tool pages (with downloadable content) ✅ Glossary pages (200+ word definitions) ✅ Product pages (unique specs, reviews) ✅ User profile pages (user-generated content)

Penalty Risk (avoid at scale)

❌ Location pages with only city name swapped ❌ "Best [tool] for [industry]" without industry-specific value ❌ "[Competitor] alternative" without real comparison data ❌ AI-generated pages without human review and unique value

Sitemap Format

Standard Sitemap

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<urlset xmlns="http://www.sitemaps.org/schemas/sitemap/0.9">
  <url>
    <loc>https://example.com/page</loc>
    <lastmod>2026-02-07</lastmod>
  </url>
</urlset>

Sitemap Index (for >50k URLs)

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<sitemapindex xmlns="http://www.sitemaps.org/schemas/sitemap/0.9">
  <sitemap>
    <loc>https://example.com/sitemap-pages.xml</loc>
    <lastmod>2026-02-07</lastmod>
  </sitemap>
  <sitemap>
    <loc>https://example.com/sitemap-posts.xml</loc>
    <lastmod>2026-02-07</lastmod>
  </sitemap>
</sitemapindex>

Error Handling

  • URL unreachable: Report the HTTP status code and suggest checking if the site is live
  • No sitemap found: Check common locations (/sitemap.xml, /sitemap_index.xml, robots.txt reference) before reporting "not found"
  • Invalid XML format: Report specific parsing errors with line numbers
  • Rate limiting detected: Back off and report partial results with a note about retry timing

Output

For Analysis

  • VALIDATION-REPORT.md: analysis results
