pro-seo-sitemap

Validates an existing sitemap or generates one, with quality gates against thin location pages.

Run it

/pro-seo sitemap <url>

When to reach for this

Analyze existing XML sitemaps or generate new ones with industry templates. Validates format, URLs, and structure.

What you get back

• VALIDATION-REPORT.md with issues by severity (analysis mode)
• sitemap.xml, split with an index if large, plus STRUCTURE.md (generation mode)

Reading the result

The most common real finding is a lastmod that lies — every URL sharing one hardcoded date tells Google nothing about what actually changed. Generation applies quality gates that refuse to emit thin location pages, which is the usual way sitemaps get bloated.
