  PURPOSE:
    Tells search engines every publicly accessible URL on the site,
    how often each page changes, and their relative importance.
    Submit this file in Google Search Console and Bing Webmaster
    Tools to accelerate indexing.

  MAINTENANCE GUIDE:
    When you ADD a new page:
      1. Copy an existing <url> block below.
      2. Update <loc> to the full canonical URL of the new page.
      3. Set <lastmod> to today's date (YYYY-MM-DD).
      4. Choose a <priority> value (see scale below).
      5. Set <changefreq> to reflect how often the page is updated.

    When you UPDATE an existing page:
      → Change its <lastmod> to today's date.

    When you REMOVE a page:
      → Delete the corresponding <url> block.
      → Also set up a 301 redirect on the server to avoid dead links.

  PRIORITY SCALE (0.0 – 1.0):
    1.0  Homepage — most important entry point
    0.9  Primary service landing pages
    0.8  Supporting / secondary service pages
    0.5  Standard informational pages (default if omitted)
    0.3  Low-traffic utility pages (404, thank-you, etc.)

    always | hourly | daily | weekly | monthly | yearly | never
