As above, I was wondering if having multiple custom post types will affect my SEO? Right now, I'm trying to rebuild my site before focusing on building content.
However, I'm having a hard time deciding if I should keep my guides, under the guides CPT, while news under posts. Or should I move guides to the regular WordPress post, while moving news to a news or opinion CPT.
Will Google focus on indexing the main sitemap.xml? Or if I use a proper SEO plugin like RankMath Pro / SEOPress Pro, that this doesn't actually matter?
Thanks!
p/s: I tried Googling and asking questions for two weeks... 🙁 Can't find a definite answer
Hello,
Yes, sitemap will help search engine to index your website pages/posts, see WP document:
hidden link
By default, your custom post type posts will present in your WordPress sitemap files, Google will index them without any problem.
And for the post type relationships, that depends on yourself, if you want to setup them in different post types, then use custom post type, otherwise you can also setup them as one "hierarchical" post type, see WP document:
