    =============================================

    WHAT A SITEMAP DOES:
    A sitemap gives Google (and other search engines) a complete, structured
    list of every page on your site. Each entry includes the URL, when it
    was last updated, how often it changes, and how important it is relative
    to other pages. Think of it as handing Google the table of contents
    for your website instead of making it flip through every page to find them.

    WHY THE HOMEPAGE HAS PRIORITY 1.0:
    Priority is a hint to Google about which pages matter most on YOUR site
    (scale of 0.0 to 1.0). The homepage is priority 1.0 because it's the
    primary representation of the business — it carries the main JSON-LD
    schema, the brand keywords, and is the page most likely to rank for
    broad searches like "real estate Dexter MO." Every other page is
    relative to this anchor.

    NOTE: the public /listings path is no longer a sitemap entry. Property
    browsing now lives on the live IDX results page (idx.deltarealtyllc.com,
    which carries its own sitemap); /listings 302-redirects there via the
    _redirects file. The legacy static listings template (/listings-static)
    has been removed from the deploy and archived to engineflow-internal for
    future reuse, so it is no longer reachable. There is intentionally no
    /listings <url> below.

    WHY THIS MATTERS:
    Without a sitemap, Google has to DISCOVER pages by following links
    from page to page. This is slow, and it can miss pages that aren't
    well-linked (orphaned pages). With a sitemap, you HAND Google the
    complete map of your site on day one. Combined with the Sitemap
    directive in robots.txt, Google finds this file automatically
    and knows exactly what to crawl.

    FOR HVAC SITES:
    You'd add entries here as you build out the site:
    - Individual service pages (/ac-repair, /furnace-installation)
    - City-specific landing pages (/ac-repair-sikeston-mo)
    - Blog posts (/blog/when-to-replace-your-ac)
    Each new page gets an entry with the appropriate priority and
    changefreq. Blog posts might be "weekly," service pages "monthly."

    <!-- Per-agent detail pages. Each carries its own Person schema and direct
         contact info, so each is an indexable landing page in its own right.
         Priority 0.6 sits below the parent /team (0.7) and contact (0.7) but
         above any future blog/list pages — these convert well for branded
         agent searches like "Dawn Simpson realtor Malden MO". -->
