  sitemap.xml — https://audentiagroup.com/
  40 canonical URLs. The URL form here matches the <link rel="canonical"> on
  every page and every internal link on the site (extensionless, no .html).

  <changefreq> and <priority> are deliberately omitted: Google has confirmed it
  ignores both. <lastmod> is the only hint still used, and it is only trusted
  when it is accurate — update it when a page's content actually changes, not
  on every upload.

  Do NOT add an <?xml-stylesheet?> line to this file, and do not add
  <xhtml:link> hreflang elements. Either one makes the browser stop showing
  its readable document tree and dump the file as one run-on line of text.
  hreflang belongs in each page's <head> as <link rel="alternate">, which is
  where Google reads it from anyway.

  Deliberately NOT listed: Header.html, footer.html (JS fragments),
  404.html, shawmut-reports (client deliverable), and talent-mapping-firm
  (canonicals to /talent-mapping).
