Sitemap & robots.txt

Your site map, always up to date

Vivlab generates and updates your sitemap and robots.txt automatically every time your catalog, pages, or blog change. There's nothing for you to maintain.

  • 📋
    Copy the URL in one click

    Grab a file's link and paste it into Google Search Console or your webmaster tool.

  • 🗺️
    The General sitemap is enough

    It bundles pages, categories, products, and blog. The individual sitemaps are there to track one content type on its own.

🗺️ Sitemap

A file XML that lists your important URLs: the map robots follow to discover your content.

🤖 robots.txt

A file that points robots toward the pages to crawl or skip. The very first one they check on arrival.

Temporary domain

Seeing a warning that your links come from a development address? Search engines can't index them. Set up a domain name before you submit your sitemap.

SEO descriptions

The text under your Google link

Two descriptions, 200 characters each: one for your store, one as the default for your products. Clear and catchy, they push your click-through rate up.

Main page SEO

The general description of your store, shown under your homepage link and in social previews.

Handmade ceramics and linen, in limited editions. Everyday objects made to last, shipped with care all across France.

Product SEO

The default SEO description for every listing that doesn't have its own, for consistent ranking without filling them in one by one.

One-of-a-kind pieces from the Atelier: thrown ceramics and hand-dyed textiles, made in small batches in our Lyon workshop.

Tip

For a specific product, you can always swap this text for a dedicated description right from its product page.

Never another error page

Automatically send one URL to another: your visitors no longer land on a 404 when a page has been deleted, renamed, or you've reorganized your site.

  • ↪️
    Source address

    The URL to redirect, always relative and starting with /, e.g. /home.

  • 🎯
    Destination address

    The URL to land on, relative as well, e.g. /blogs.

  • 🗑️
    Delete a rule

    No longer needed? The icon on the right removes it. With no rule, a No redirect rule message invites you to create one.

Great too for migrating from an old site with different URLs, or temporarily redirecting a page during a campaign.

301 or 302? A choice that matters for SEO

301

Permanent redirect

The page has been permanently moved to a new URL.

SEO impactSearch engines carry the ranking over from the old URL to the new one.
302

Temporary redirect

The page is moved temporarily; you plan to restore the original URL.

SEO impactNo ranking is carried over: the old URL stays indexed.

Social preview

A polished thumbnail with every share

Vivlab generates a 1200 × 630 image for each page shared on Facebook, X, LinkedIn, WhatsApp, and iMessage, using the font and logo from your brand theme. Pick the template per page type.

Depends on your plan

Social previews depend on your subscription. If they're not included in your plan, a message lets you know at the top of the page.
