SleekView Feedback for Google XML Sitemaps
Google XML Sitemaps generates per post type sitemaps and stores include and exclude rules in WordPress options. SleekView Feedback turns those entries into a sortable, upvoteable board so editors vote on which URLs to include, flag missing pages, and request schema or redirect work.

From sitemap entries to a feedback board
Google XML Sitemaps generates sitemap files per post type and writes include and exclude rules into the sm_options structure inside wp_options. The settings screen is fine for picking which post types appear, but the team has no shared view of which URLs got skipped, which got added in error, or which canonical pages need schema and redirect work to match the sitemap.
SleekView Feedback reads the sitemap settings and the matching wp_posts rows directly. Point it at the posts table filtered by status and type or by a custom join with the sitemap config, map a numeric meta key to votes, the sitemap section to category, and an inclusion status to the status pill. Each post or term becomes one card.
SEO leads stop diffing sitemap files by hand. They land on a sorted board, upvote the missing canonical pages, flag the legacy posts that should never have appeared, and request schema and redirects to match the new entries. The sitemap roadmap stops being a guess and becomes a votable backlog tied to the posts already in the database.
Workflow
From sitemap entries to a public board
Pick the Google XML source
wp_posts filtered by sitemap rules or a custom join with the Google XML options structure. Filter by post type, include status, or canonical state so the board only shows the URLs the SEO team needs to triage this sprint.

Comparison
Google XML admin vs SleekView Feedback
Google XML settings UI
- Sitemap settings live on one admin page with no shared per URL signal
- No way for editors to upvote which URLs deserve a sitemap entry or removal
- Schema and redirect follow up lives in Slack threads, not next to the URL
- Inclusion status of each post sits in options blob with no shared front view
- No public queue to show clients which sitemap entries shipped this sprint
SleekView Feedback
- One card per sitemap entry with title, section, votes, status pill, and post type
- Upvote writes back to the meta key so future rebuilds can sort by team priority
-
Filter by post type, include status, or section using any column in
wp_posts - Embed on an internal SEO page or behind a login with one shortcode or block
- SEO leads stop diffing sitemap files by hand and start voting in WordPress
Features
What SleekView Feedback gives you for Google XML Sitemaps
Sitemap review built in
Each Google XML entry becomes a votable card. SEO leads see which URLs earn inclusion, which were excluded, and which moved to Pending. The board doubles as a living changelog of sitemap decisions without keeping a separate spreadsheet of allow lists.
Schema and redirect flags
Add Schema, Redirect, or Bug categories and editors flag any entry with one click. The flag lives next to the source row, so the SEO lead can land the JSON-LD, the 301, and the sitemap exclusion in one focused sprint instead of three tickets.
Upvotes feed back into rebuilds
Because votes write to the source column, you can sort the post list by sitemap score, prioritise high voted entries for the next ping, and skip legacy posts nobody opens. Sitemap planning stops being a hunch and becomes a real number in the database.
Audience
How SEO teams use the Google XML board
Editorial sitemap review
Editors vote on which new posts need to land in the sitemap this week. The team rebuilds the file, the entries get included, and the rest stay queued without anyone losing track in a shared spreadsheet.
Crawl budget audit
Agencies use the board as a crawl budget queue. Flagged legacy URLs with high vote counts move to the top, get excluded from sitemap and the next ping, and resolve to a Clean status visible to the client.
Schema and redirect sync
Editors flag sitemap entries that need new schema or 301 redirects. The SEO lead ships JSON-LD, sitemap entry, and redirect together in one sprint without splitting work across three plugin queues.
The bigger picture
Why a Google XML Sitemaps board changes the workflow
Google XML Sitemaps is great at generating per post type sitemap files. It is much worse at telling you which of those URLs actually deserve a spot in the sitemap, which legacy entries waste crawl budget, and which canonical pages still need schema or redirect work to match. Most teams end up with thousands of entries and no honest signal about which ones earn real Google attention.
Editors miss the new pillar page until rankings stagnate, SEO leads ship sitemap rebuilds that still include legacy archives, and clients lose trust because nobody can show them which entries shipped or got excluded last sprint. A feedback board changes that pattern. Sitemap rows stop being silent options entries and start being something the team reacts to in public.
Upvotes give you a cheap, honest signal about which URLs deserve inclusion. Schema, redirect, and bug flags give you a backlog sorted by impact, not by whoever opened the settings panel last. And because everything writes back to the source row, the next rebuild already shows the team score next to the URL.
The result is fewer wasted crawls and a much shorter loop between a sitemap idea today and a clean rebuild tomorrow.
Questions
Common questions about SleekView Feedback for Google XML Sitemaps
No. SleekView Feedback reads directly from wp_posts and the sitemap options structure. You point it at the source, pick the columns for votes, status, category, section, and title, and the board renders. No ETL, no sync, no duplicated data. Anything Google XML Sitemaps generates shows up on the next page load.
Yes. SleekView ships with anonymous voting backed by cookies, so any reviewer can upvote sitemap entries without an account. You can also require login if you want the board restricted to SEO leads or content editors, and the same view handles both modes with a single toggle.
SleekView tracks votes by cookie for anonymous reviewers and by user ID for logged in editors. A second click on the same card removes the vote instead of adding another one, so the count stays honest and the sitemap score reflects unique voters, not raw clicks.
Yes. The data source supports any WHERE clause and any join. You can filter by post type, by section, by inclusion status, or by any meta key, then save that filtered view as a board for a specific audit or client retainer without changing sitemap settings.
No. Votes only write to a score meta column. The sitemap config itself never changes. The SEO lead decides which votes get acted on, so the board acts as a prioritised backlog while Google XML Sitemaps stays the single source of truth for what gets included in each rebuild.
Yes. Add Schema, Redirect, and Sitemap categories so editors flag any entry with the type of follow up needed. The board surfaces all three workstreams together, so the SEO lead can land the JSON-LD fix, the 301, and the sitemap inclusion in one focused sprint.
Yes. The Feedback view is responsive by default. Cards stack to one column on small screens, the vote button stays thumb sized, and category and status pills wrap cleanly. Lazy loaded URL previews keep the page light on a slow connection.
The card stays on the board with the new status because the board reads live data. Votes recorded against the source post stay in meta even after exclusion, so if you ever re-include the URL the score and history come back attached to the same row in the sitemap.
