How are people managing sitemaps with dynamic content?
SEO in WeWeb for dynamic content seems to be outside WeWeb’s focus which I find wierd given that all the big websites out there are not static.
I would like to build a 2nd sitemap (keeping the autogenerated one), ideally to tell google of the dynamic product pages. E.g.
(Yup, that’s a dynamic page with uncontrollable structured data in weweb dissapointingly )
Because this page isn’t getting indexed.
However, other dynamic pages are getting indexed which is positive - with title, price, etc are as I set via Rich Snippet Markup. It’s taking a long time however and I need it more consistent, up to date and controlled.
- We have the option to add our own sitemap as a file, per guidelines, but that’s manual and won’t work with dynamic catalog style content
- I don’t think there is a way to control the URL path /sitemap.xml outside of weweb?
- I’ve successfully created a RSS feed on a subdomain using my dynamic content, and was thinking that might be an option if anyone has done it before like that? It has limitations and unsure if it will work:
Can I have a sitemap at sitemap.example.com?
Yes, but with limitations.
Google expects sitemaps to be on the same domain as the URLs they reference.
A sitemap at sitemap.example.com can only reference URLs from sitemap.example.com unless you declare it in robots.txt on example.com.
To make sitemap.example.com/sitemap.xml work for example.com, you must list it in example.com's robots.txt file like this:
Sitemap: https://sitemap.example.com/sitemap.xml
You also need to verify both example.com and sitemap.example.com in Google Search Console (GSC) for it to be indexed properly.
I would love to hear from others on how they’re managing this in a performant way?
