In Sprout SEO, up until now, we would assume that the sitemap of any website was located on /sitemap.xml and link to it from the bottom part of the page info tab.
But you know what they say about assumptions...
So we fixed that, what we do right now is:
#1 We check if there is a sitemap on the default location
#2 Check if the sitemap is referenced correctly from the robots.txt
#3 If the sitemap is present and referenced in the robots.txt, all green ✅
#4 If there is no sitemap on the default location and no reference in the robots.txt 🚨
#5 If there is a sitemap on the default location but no reference in the robots.txt ⚠️
Oh, and if multiple sitemaps are found in the robots.txt, we list them all in the extension.
Next to these, we've added two handy extra features in the right-click menu that work in the Google Search Results Page (SERP):
##Remove breadcrumbs from the SERP
The option to remove the 'breadcrumbs', which replace URLs in search results and give you back the full URL of the page you're trying to visit.
This is incredibly useful when performing site:domain.com searches, and you want to see if strange URLs appear in search results.
##Add position numbers in front of search results in the SERP
Getting tired of counting results in the SERP to see at which position you or your competitor ranks?
We've added a little Google SERP Counter that adds the position of a result next to the search results on Google. Like this you can immediately see at what position you are.
