1. Define the concern.
Identify the important pages, intended audience and desired contact action. Note recent site changes and the available measurement period.
Process
Make a specific change and verify what it accomplished.
Start with the service, visitor question and evidence available.
2. Review the actual pages.
Inspect content, navigation, technical signals and authorized search evidence. Separate observed problems from areas that simply have not been checked.
3. Agree a useful first scope.
Choose changes supported by the review, with factual content and a way to verify implementation. Avoid producing pages solely to increase a count.
4. Publish and test.
Check the live page, important links, mobile layout and contact behavior. Validate affected sitemap entries after content is stable.
5. Assess the evidence.
Record what was published and tested separately from later search and business outcomes. An accepted sitemap submission does not establish indexing, rankings or inquiries.
