A sitemap speeds up indexing and tells Google about updates. Novi websites have an automatically generated sitemap.
What it means in practice
A sitemap is an XML file listing all important URLs of a website, often with the date of the last change. It’s meant for search engine crawlers – it shows them which pages exist and which have been updated.
Why it matters for your business
With a sitemap Google finds new and changed pages faster. This matters especially for new websites without external links yet, and when you add content regularly.
Examples and good practice
- Submit the sitemap URL in Google Search Console.
- Include only pages that should be in Google (no noindex).
- Update the sitemap automatically with every change.
- Reference the sitemap in robots.txt.
How Novi handles it
Novi websites generate the XML sitemap automatically and update it with every new or changed page. We submit it to Google at launch.
