Get Thousands of Programmatic Pages Indexed Through Strategic Sitemap Management

When you generate 10,000+ pages, getting them indexed is half the battle. Strategic sitemap architecture tells Google exactly which pages exist, which matter most, and when they changed.

Per-segment tracking of submitted vs indexed URLs with alerts for indexation drops and analysis of non-indexed pages to identify patterns

Our Programmatic Sitemap Optimization Process

1

Sitemap Architecture Design

We design a sitemap structure that segments your programmatic pages by content type: one sitemap for product pages, one for location pages, one for comparison pages. Each segment is sized under 50,000 URLs with a master sitemap index.

2

Dynamic Generation Integration

We integrate sitemap generation into your page publishing pipeline. When pages are created, updated, or removed, the relevant sitemap is regenerated automatically with accurate URL lists and lastmod dates.

3

Submission & Configuration

Sitemaps are referenced in robots.txt and submitted through Google Search Console. We configure ping notifications to alert Google of sitemap updates, accelerating discovery of new pages.

4

Indexation Monitoring & Optimization

We track indexation rates per sitemap segment weekly, identify pages that are submitted but not indexed, and investigate root causes. Insights feed back into content quality validation and template improvements.

Key Benefits

Complete discovery of every generated page

Dynamic sitemap generation ensures every new page is included in a sitemap immediately upon creation. No pages are missed, no orphan URLs are left undiscovered, and new content reaches Google's crawl queue as quickly as possible.

Granular indexation monitoring by page type

Segmented sitemaps let you track indexation rates for each content type independently. If product pages index at 95% but location pages only at 60%, you know exactly where to investigate and fix quality or technical issues.

Faster indexation through accurate lastmod dates

Accurate lastmod dates signal to Google which pages have changed and need re-crawling. Our dynamic sitemaps update lastmod automatically when page content changes, prompting faster re-crawl of updated pages.

Search Volume Context

With 8.5 billion daily searches, Google must efficiently allocate crawl resources -- well-structured sitemaps help Google prioritize your pages amid trillions of URLs on the web

User Behavior Pattern

75% of users never scroll past the first page of results, making indexation the prerequisite for any programmatic page to have a chance at visibility

Frequently Asked Questions

How many sitemaps do I need for a programmatic site?

It depends on your total page count and content types. Each sitemap can hold up to 50,000 URLs. We recommend one sitemap per content type regardless of size, which typically means 3-5 sitemaps plus a sitemap index. For sites with 100,000+ pages, you may need multiple sitemaps per content type.

Does having many sitemaps confuse Google?

No. Google handles sitemap indexes with multiple child sitemaps without issue. In fact, Google prefers segmented sitemaps for large sites because they enable more granular processing and reporting. The sitemap index file serves as the master directory that Google reads first.

How quickly do new pages get indexed after being added to a sitemap?

Google typically discovers new sitemap entries within 1-7 days, with indexation following within 1-4 weeks for quality content. We use ping mechanisms and Search Console submission to accelerate this. The actual indexation speed depends on your site's crawl budget, domain authority, and the quality of the new pages.

What if Google is not indexing pages that are in the sitemap?

Non-indexation despite sitemap inclusion is a quality signal. Google has discovered the page but decided not to index it -- usually due to thin content, duplicate content, or low perceived value. We analyze non-indexed pages for patterns and feed those insights into content quality validation and template improvements.
