site.not-in-sitemap

InfoSEO auditcrawl

Indexable pages discovered by crawling are not listed in the sitemap.

What to change

Add the missing URLs to the sitemap (or generate it from the router so it stays complete).

The documentation on developers.google.com

A finding of this rule on a page carries the exact edits for that page: the markup it quotes, and what to write instead.

When it runs

Runs on a crawl or a build directory. Info is a best practice: worth doing, rarely urgent, and --no-info leaves it out. Each finding takes 1 point off the page's score.

The severity here is the rule's usual one: a finding can be raised or lowered when the page gives a reason.

Run it, or skip it

Check a page for this rule alone, after a fix for instance:

npx @rivi-software/agentic-seo-check crawl https://example.com --rule site.not-in-sitemap

Or from an assistant, with the MCP tool seo_crawl_site:

{
  "url": "https://example.com",
  "rules": [
    "site.not-in-sitemap"
  ]
}

To leave it out of an audit, pass --disable site.not-in-sitemap on the command, or disableRules: ["site.not-in-sitemap"] to a tool.
