How confident are you that your sitemaps are both clean and up-to-date?
This past week, we have spent a fair amount of time auditing sitemaps for our various sites and discovered quite a few issues, including URLs for pages that no longer exist, URLs with canonical tags indicating a different URL was preferred, and missing URLs that were not listed in the sitemap.
