π Sitemap Maintenance Checklist
πΉ 1. When You Add a New Microsite (e.g. /cheng-si-tang/)
- β
Create a new sitemap file (
sitemap_chengsitang.xml). - β Add all important URLs for that microsite inside it.
- β
Update
sitemap_index.xmlto include the new sitemap. - β
Upload both files (
sitemap_chengsitang.xml+ updatedsitemap_index.xml) to your server root. - β
Check
https://kohtcm.com/sitemap_index.xmlin browser to confirm it lists the new sitemap.
πΉ 2. When You Add New Pages to an Existing Microsite
- β
Open the correct sitemap file (e.g.
sitemap_clinic.xml). - β
Add the new
<url>entry with<loc>,<lastmod>,<changefreq>,<priority>. - β Re-upload only that sitemap file.
- β
No need to change
sitemap_index.xml.
πΉ 3. After Uploading
- β Test in browser: file should display as XML, not HTML.
- β Ensure the URL matches your Search Console property (https://kohtcm.com/).
- β
Confirm server sends correct header:
Content-Type: application/xml.
πΉ 4. Google & Bing
- β
In Google Search Console β only submit
https://kohtcm.com/sitemap_index.xml(not each sub-sitemap). - β In Bing Webmaster Tools β also submit only the index.
- β Google & Bing will auto-discover all sub-sitemaps.
πΉ 5. Robots.txt (Optional but Helpful)
Add this line (if not already there):
Sitemap: https://kohtcm.com/sitemap_index.xml
β
Thatβs it!
Following this checklist, youβll never have sitemap problems again β just keep the index clean and update the right sub-sitemap when new content goes live.
Do you also want me to make you a ready-to-use XML template (blank sitemap structure) so you can copy-paste whenever you add a new microsite?
