Check 8 / 19 LOW impact In the full checklist

Submit sitemap + fix 404s in GSC weekly

What this check is

A sitemap tells search engines where the catalogue is; the crawl errors report tells you what broke since the last look. Both need a weekly habit, not a one-time setup.

How to implement it

Submit the sitemap in Search Console, confirm it lists only canonical indexable URLs, and work through the pages report weekly: 404s from retired products, redirects that chain, and pages excluded for a reason you did not intend.

How to verify it

Open the sitemap report and the page indexing report: the sitemap should show as successfully read with the discovered URL count matching the live catalogue, and no critical URL should sit in a soft-404 state.
