User Story

As a VFS team member, I need to know what guidelines to follow for VA.gov’s XML sitemap, so that the tools and products I am building rank well in search results.

As a Veteran or other VA.gov user, I want the modernized VA.gov page I’m looking for to rank well in organic search, so that I can find what I’m looking for and trust that it is the single source of truth.
