  Sitemap for marketnow.biz.

  Every public route listed once with:
    • <lastmod> — content freshness signal. Search engines deprioritise
      pages whose lastmod hasn't moved in months; bump this when the page
      content actually changes (NOT on every deploy — that's spam).
    • <changefreq> — hint only; crawlers use real change history first.
    • <priority>  — relative weight WITHIN this sitemap (not global).
                    Homepage = 1.0; conversion pages = 0.9; static
                    legal pages = 0.3.
    • <image:image> — image-sitemap extension. Tells Google Image Search
      about the OG banner on each page so it can index the brand banner
      directly.

  Submit once via Google Search Console → Sitemaps → enter
  "sitemap.xml" → Submit. Re-submit only if you add NEW URLs (Google
  re-fetches the file automatically every few days).
