# SEO & sitemaps

> How Time2Bike pages appear to search engines.

Time2Bike auto-generates SEO metadata for every public page and exposes a sitemap.

## Page metadata

Each public page sets:

* **Title** — `<Event name> · <Org name> | Time2Bike`.
* **Description** — short summary from your event description / org blurb.
* **Open Graph** — `og:title`, `og:description`, `og:image` (banner or logo).
* **Twitter card** — `summary_large_image` with the banner.
* **Canonical URL** — points back to the time2.bike page.

You don't have to author these by hand — they come from the fields you fill in on your dashboards.

## Sitemap

`time2.bike/sitemap.xml` lists:

* Every published org public page.
* Every published event landing page and its sub-pages (register, results, live).
* Every published series page.
* Every public rider profile (privacy-permitting).

Google, Bing, and DuckDuckGo crawl it automatically.

## Robots

`time2.bike/robots.txt` allows all crawlers and points at the sitemap. Draft and hidden content (private dashboards, draft events) is gated behind authentication and never indexed.

## Attribution parameters

Time2Bike preserves `utm_source`, `utm_medium`, `utm_campaign`, and `referrer` on the rider's registration. These show up in your [event analytics](/organizers/events/event-analytics) under **Attribution** so you can see which channel produced which signups.

## Tips for ranking

* Put your event name, discipline, city, and state in the description.
* Upload a good banner image — it's the OG image.
* Encourage social shares early; backlinks help.
* Use your org's custom slug consistently across your own marketing.
