Sitemaps that stay current without any work
An XML sitemap index, an HTML sitemap and a Google News sitemap, cached and updated whenever your content changes.
Why it helps
Search engines find new pages faster through a sitemap. Rank Bix builds one for each post type, includes your images, leaves out noindexed pages and refreshes itself when you publish.
How to set it up
- Make sure the XML Sitemap module is on in Features.
- Submit /sitemap_index.xml in Google Search Console and Bing Webmaster Tools.
