FAQ
Common questions about sitemaps, feeds, llms.txt, and OpenSearch
#What is the difference between XML sitemap and HTML sitemap?
An XML sitemap is mainly for search engines and lists URLs, lastmod, and hreflang alternates. An HTML sitemap is readable by users, editors, and AI tools, and explains the site structure in page context.
Can llms.txt replace sitemap or robots.txt?
No. llms.txt is an auxiliary reading guide for AI tools. It does not replace XML sitemaps, robots.txt, canonical tags, hreflang, indexable HTML, or useful body content.
When should I use RSS Feed versus JSON Feed?
RSS Feed works well for feed readers and broad discovery tools. JSON Feed is easier for automation scripts, internal monitors, and structured update workflows. Both can help new pages enter discovery flows.
Why does a GEO site need OpenSearch?
OpenSearch gives browsers, knowledge bases, and automation tools a query template for site search, making it easier to locate guides, tools, FAQ, and discovery resources.
