Why it matters
Sitemaps help Google discover new and updated pages, especially on sites where pages aren't well linked, which includes most single-page apps.
How Patch checks
We read Sitemap lines in robots.txt and try /sitemap.xml and /sitemap_index.xml.
How to fix it
- Generate a sitemap.xml listing your public pages (most frameworks have a plugin).
- Publish it at https://your site/sitemap.xml and add a Sitemap line to robots.txt.
- Submit it in Google Search Console.
Your own report goes further: it names the exact pages, services and settings Patch found on your site, and with a full report you get a fix prompt to paste into Lovable, Bolt or Cursor.
Where this applies
Applies to every site that wants search traffic.
