Include blog posts in website sitemap.xml

Only web pages are included in the website sitemap. We also need blog posts including so Google can index them faster.

why do I get non canonical links for the blogs/categories in my sitemaps how can I edit the blog content in the xml it's showing 3 different pages for my blogs the original a /blog/b path and a /blog/b/(category) and there all in the sitemap how can I remove them or edit them to make one the canonical one

Yeah this is CRITICAL. Why would we ever publish blogs in GHL if we can't have a basic, updated sitemap. Blogs published in GHL will far underperform blogs in any other platform, SEO-wise.

We need the ability to have a full sitemap!

Pooja S When will we be able to assign canonical links to blog posts? Currently, when I create one blog post, it creates 3 identical pages. This is negatively impacting my SEO, rather than improving it. Can we get an update on this?

Was just about to add this. Definitely upvoting!

We need this now - just found out today after 3 months working on SEO after migrating my site to GHL. Another issue is URL redirects don't work in GHL. Its there but it doesn't work. More open tickets!

And add an option for the sitemap to be updated automatically, either on a schedule or when new content is released. A manual push is cumbersome at scale.

This is critical! Please add this

lets go, please upvote this. I don't know why they didn't do this when they released blogs. Just seems so pointless writing blog posts if we can't add them to the XML sitemap

Paige Battcher

This seems really important for search indexing!
