This article explains how Ferndesk automatically generates a `sitemap.xml` file for your help center, and how this improves your help center's visibility on search engines.
Automatic Sitemap Generation
Ferndesk now automatically generates a sitemap.xml file for your help center. This file helps search engines like Google discover and index your articles, making it easier for users to find your content through organic search.
What is a sitemap?
A sitemap is a file that lists all the pages of your website, in this case, all the articles in your help center. It provides search engines with a roadmap of your content, which helps them to crawl and understand your site more effectively.
How it works
The sitemap is generated automatically and updated whenever you publish new articles or make changes to existing ones. You don't need to take any action to enable this feature. The sitemap is available at `your-help-center-url/sitemap.xml`.
By automatically generating and updating your sitemap, Ferndesk helps improve your help center's SEO, leading to better discoverability and more organic traffic.
