Two blog features work together to make your content easier to find and easier to read: an XML sitemap that helps search engines crawl and index your site, and a Table of Contents that lets readers jump straight to the section they need. This guide covers how to set up both in Aesthetix CRM.
An XML sitemap allows search engines to crawl and index your website thoroughly and can be referenced in your robots.txt file so all search engines are notified of it. In short, a sitemap strengthens your ranking in search results and boosts your overall SEO.
Your blog supports an automatic sitemap, which means every time you publish a post the sitemap updates on its own.
To set it up:
Go to Domains.
Add your domain. If you have not connected a domain yet, set one up first using the domain connect feature.
Once the domain is added, open its three-dot menu and choose the option to visit the XML Sitemap.
In the XML Sitemap screen, complete step one by selecting the pages to include. Choose the Blog Home and Blog Post options.
In step two, click Generate Sitemap.
Note: Because the sitemap regenerates automatically whenever you publish, you only need to generate it once during setup.
You can automatically generate a Table of Contents based on your blog post's headings. It gives your post structure and adds clickable links so readers can navigate long content with ease.
Let readers move through your content easily with clickable links.
Customize and style the Table of Contents to match your blog's theme.
To add one:
Go to Blog and open Edit Blog Site.
In the blog post editor, find the new Table of Contents icon, which offers three layout options.
Based on the indentation you select, the Table of Contents is generated, hyperlinking each entry to its matching heading.
Adjust styling such as bold, italic, underline, strikethrough, and font size using the toolbar settings.
That's it, you're good to go.
Note: A Table of Contents improves the readability of long-form posts, strengthens SEO by structuring your content, and gives your audience a smoother reading experience.
