We provide a system generated Sitemap file with our Sitemap Generator Add-on.

Please note that we do not offer an XML file.
However, you can use an online generator, or download one (search for xml sitemap generator), we have used https://www.xml-sitemaps.com/ before with success.
Common Indexing Issues
Alternative page with proper canonical tag
This error is not an issue and can be ignored. The notice is caused by a page being marked as an alternate of another page, however it correctly points to the canonical (original) page, which has been successfully indexed.
A common occurrence that causes this notice is the ‘?filters=’ attribute.

A canonical URL is the URL of a page that Google chose as the most representative from a set of duplicate pages
Crawled - currently not indexed
Google has crawled this page but hasn’t yet indexed. It may be indexed in the future.
There is nothing that can be done about this other than to wait for Google to eventually crawl it.
Discovered - currently not indexed
The page has been found by Google, but hasn’t been crawled yet. The crawl was expected to overload the site and has been rescheduled to a later date.
Duplicate without user-selected canonical
This is not an error and is working as intended, Google does not index duplicate pages and therefore automatically assigning this page as a canonical.

Not Found (404)
This error is returned when Google encounters a deleted/deactivated page.
A 301 Redirect is required to redirect this page to an existing page. Removing 404 pages will vastly raise your SEO ranking.
