What (summary)
Index our site and present search engines with the resulting sitemap.
Why this is important
Traffic from search engines is our bread and butter. If there are pages that they would index if only they knew about them ... we should let them know. This has a 5% chance of doubling our traffic with 3 days worth of work.
DoneDone
- We have a validated index and sitemap files that include all of our page titles
- We are serving it up from the proper location so that googlebot and other search engines crawlers can find it
Steps to get to DoneDone
