  Only routes that render finished, public content belong here. Listing a URL
  before its page exists earns a soft-404 in Search Console.

  Updated 8 August 2026. The four service pages were missing even though they
  render from src/data/services.ts and are the pages most likely to match a
  search like "how to open a home care agency in Virginia". Those are the
  highest-intent queries this business can win, so omitting them was the most
  costly gap in the file.

  Legal pages added at low priority. They should be indexable (a prospect
  checking terms before engaging is a good sign) but they should never outrank
  a service page.

  DELIBERATELY EXCLUDED: /dashboard, /portal, /partner, /field. These are behind
  Cloudflare Access and carry X-Robots-Tag: noindex. Listing them here would
  contradict that header and invite crawl attempts against authenticated
  surfaces.

  Updated 9 August 2026 for the page restructure.

  ADDED: /services, /who-we-help, /how-it-works, /about, /assessment. Until now
  all of that content lived as anchors on the homepage, so the entire public
  site was two rankable URLs plus the service pages. Anchors do not rank
  independently; a query like "how does business licensing consulting work"
  had nothing to match but the homepage, competing against its own hero copy.

  REMOVED: /ventures. It has redirected to /#services since 8 August. A 301 in
  a sitemap wastes crawl budget and Search Console reports it as an error.
