Feature phone sitemaps
You should not create a feature phone sitemap unless you have a specific feature phone version of a page designed for feature phones (non-smartphones).
You can create a mobile sitemap for feature phones using the sitemap protocol along with an additional tag and namespace requirement. You can create a separate sitemap listing your video content, or you can add information about your video content to an existing sitemap—whichever is more convenient for you.
A sample mobile sitemap that contains a single entry is shown below.
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8" ?>
<urlset xmlns="http://www.sitemaps.org/schemas/sitemap/0.9"
xmlns:mobile="http://www.google.com/schemas/sitemap-mobile/1.0">
<url>
<loc>http://mobile.example.com/article100.html</loc>
<mobile:mobile/>
</url>
</urlset>
Please be aware of the following guidelines for making a mobile sitemap:
- If you choose to use a sitemap generation tool, first check that it can create mobile sitemaps.
- Include the
<mobile:mobile/>tag to make sure that your mobile URLs are properly crawled. - URLs serving multiple markup languages can be listed in a single sitemap.
- Search Console automatically detects and supports the following markup languages for mobile content: XHTML mobile profile (WAP 2.0), WML (WAP 1.2), cHTML (iMode)
XML namespace
xmlns:mobile="http://www.google.com/schemas/sitemap-mobile/1.0
