Sitemap, RSS Feed, and iTunes Podcast
Poster Stack supports a sitemap and RSS feed in XML format.
RSS Feed and iTunes podcast
Poster Stack supports a RSS feed in XML format. Optionally, it is also possible to generate an iTunes compatible podcast RSS feed with adding additional metadata information.
In order to open the RSS feed, add the URL parameter feed=rss to the page URL like:
https://support.instacks.com/poster-stack-2/?feed=rss
Make sure to set up following main settings. A language code reference can be found here: http://www.rssboard.org/rss-language-codes
Select Generate iTunes podcast Feed to generate an iTunes compatible RSS feed.
For each item, add additional metadata like description and author. For iTunes podcast items, add also the media information to the different posts, which represent an own episode. A list of valid podcast categories can be found here: https://help.apple.com/itc/podcasts_connect/#/itc9267a2f12

Sitemap
Poster Stack is able to generate a sitemap, which you are able to use in e.g. Google Search Console. In order to open the sitemap, add the URL parameter feed=sitemap
to the page URL like:
https://support.instacks.com/poster-stack-2/?feed=sitemap
Enter the Sitemap in Google Search Console
Enter this URL into the Google Search Console for better SEO coverage: https://search.google.com/search-console
There, you have to:
- Create an Google Account (or use an existing one)
- Add your website (with the help of a Google verification code, where you have to add a html file into your project, or add a meta tag to your index page)
- Add the link to your Poster sitemap
