How to Show the HTML Sitemap on Your Site in SureRank Pro

An HTML Sitemap is a page on your website that lists all your important pages, posts, and categories in a structured way. Unlike an XML Sitemap (made for search engines), an HTML Sitemap is designed for your visitors.

Why Add an HTML Sitemap to Your Site?

• It helps visitors quickly find content on your site.
• Improves user experience by providing a clear structure.
• Ensures no important page is missed when users are browsing.
• It can indirectly help with SEO by improving site navigation.

Steps to Display the HTML Sitemap

SureRank Pro makes it easy to display an HTML Sitemap on your site using a shortcode. Follow the steps below:

Step 1: Copy the Shortcode

Go to the SureRank settings → Sitemap section and click on the Copy button next to the HTML Sitemap shortcode: [ surerank_html_sitemap ]

Step 2: Create a New Page

• From your WordPress Dashboard, go to Pages → Add New.
• Give your page a title, for example, “Sitemap”.

Step 3: Add the Shortcode

• Paste the copied shortcode into the editor.

Step 4: Publish the Page

• Click on Publish.
• Visit the newly created page on your site to see the HTML Sitemap in action.

What the HTML Sitemap Displays

The HTML Sitemap will automatically load:

• All pages
• Blog posts
• Categories
• Other public content available on your site

This ensures visitors and search engines can easily discover all your important content.

Tips & Best Practices

• Add it to your Footer: Place a link to your Sitemap page in the footer menu so it’s easily accessible from any page
• Keep it Simple: Avoid adding unnecessary styling or customizations—users expect a clean list format.
• Combine with XML Sitemap: Use the XML Sitemap for search engines and the HTML Sitemap for visitors to cover both needs.
• Update Regularly: SureRank Pro automatically updates your HTML Sitemap when you add new content—no extra effort needed.
