Submit sitemap and request indexing for Google Search Console

Description

After adding next-sitemap to our Next.js project, we need to submit the sitemap to Google Search Console and request indexing for key pages to ensure readmegen-ai.vercel.app appears in Google search results.

Tasks

• Merge google branch into main (or production branch) to deploy changes to Vercel.
• Verify the sitemap is live at: https://readmegen-ai.vercel.app/sitemap.xml
• Open Google Search Console → Sitemaps and submit sitemap.xml.
• In Search Console → URL Inspection, request indexing for:
• Homepage /
• Key pages such as /docs, /features, /generate
• Monitor Coverage and Performance reports to ensure pages are indexed.

Acceptance Criteria

• Sitemap is accessible and submitted successfully to Google Search Console.
• Key pages are requested for indexing and eventually appear in Google search results.
• Coverage reports in Search Console show valid indexed pages.

Notes

• Generated sitemap.xml does not need to be pushed to GitHub; Vercel will regenerate it on each deployment.
• This process helps Google crawl and index our Next.js site faster.
