About SitemapFixer — Technical SEO & Indexing Fix Tool
The problem we kept seeing
Technical SEO tooling splits into two unhelpful camps. On one side: Screaming Frog, Sitebulb, DeepCrawl — powerful crawlers, but a flat wall of checkboxes if you don't already know what you're looking for. On the other: the "Site Audit" tab inside Ahrefs or Semrush, which flags a missing H1 on your 404 page and calls it actionable.
Meanwhile the sitemap — the single document Google uses to decide what to crawl on your site — gets almost no dedicated attention. Production sites shipping sitemaps with staging URLs in them. Sites where every URL in the sitemap returns a 301. Sites where the sitemap was generated once years ago and never touched again. None of the generic audits surface it as the actual blocker.
So teams spend months rewriting meta descriptions while the real reason Google won't index them is a five-line XML problem.
Why we built SitemapFixer
The same mental checklist kept getting rebuilt from scratch on every project: pull the sitemap, check status codes, verify canonicals, cross-check robots.txt, look for noindex conflicts. It became obvious the checklist should be a tool.
The goal was simple: do one thing well. Pull your sitemap, find what is wrong with it, and explain in plain English what to change. Not a 40-page PDF. Not a dashboard with 18 metrics. Just "these 47 URLs in your sitemap return 404 — here they are, go fix them."
The AI layer is there because every site breaks differently. A Webflow sitemap fails in different ways than a Next.js one, which fails differently than a WordPress site on a custom theme. Hardcoded rules catch the obvious problems. Pattern detection catches the rest.
What we believe about SEO
Technical SEO is underrated. The industry focuses on content and backlinks because they are the visible parts. But you can publish 500 excellent articles and rank for nothing if your crawl budget is being burned on faceted-search URLs, or if half your canonicals point to the wrong version of the page. Technical infrastructure is the foundation. Content built on broken infrastructure is wasted effort.
Most "AI SEO tools" produce longer output, not better decisions. A good tool makes the next action obvious, not your report longer. If you need to read 30 pages to find out what to do, the tool failed. SitemapFixer uses AI to narrow what matters — not to generate filler.
Sitemap.xml is the most-ignored high-leverage asset in SEO. It is the one file you hand directly to Google that says "index these pages." If it is wrong, everything downstream is wrong. Almost no one audits it properly.
How it is funded
The free tier is real. One analysis per month, no credit card required. Paid tiers fund continued development — that is the entire business model.
No ads. No email list resale. No dark patterns on checkout. No selling your site data to third parties. If the business model ever changes in a meaningful way, it will be stated clearly on this page before it happens.
