Sitemap, SEO & Public Documentation
How Gadget Trade organises public pages, documentation, canonical URLs, structured information and machine-readable sitemaps.
Human-readable site map
Gadget Trade provides a public Site Map that groups marketplace, Nova, company, trust, campaign and account/support links. It is intended as a navigational directory for people and search discovery.
Machine-readable sitemaps
- 1Use /sitemap.xml for the primary machine-readable site map.
- 2Use /image-sitemap.xml where image discovery is supported.
- 3Keep canonical public URLs consistent so duplicate domain versions do not compete unnecessarily.
- 4Include important public documentation and policy pages where appropriate.
Documentation information architecture
Documentation is grouped into marketplace, social/community, Nova, safety, privacy, subscriptions, developer and troubleshooting topics. Each guide should have a clear title, introduction, headings, useful steps and FAQs where the topic benefits from them.
Search-friendly public pages
- Use descriptive page titles and descriptions.
- Use one clear primary heading and meaningful subheadings.
- Prefer stable canonical URLs.
- Describe images with useful alternative text.
- Link related guides so users and crawlers can discover the wider knowledge base.
- Do not expose private account or administrative information in public documentation.

Should every private dashboard page be indexed?＋
No. Private account and administrative surfaces should remain protected and should not be treated as public documentation pages.
