- Prefer canonical page URLs over parameterized or redirected variants.
- Prefer section sitemaps for editorial and help coverage and the main sitemap for product, state, and school URLs.
- Use blog pages for decision guidance, help-center pages for product usage guidance, and school profiles for institution-specific facts.
- Avoid private or gated routes such as /admin, /dashboard, /pinned, and /api.

## Freshness
- Prefer pages with visible update dates or sitemap last-modified signals.
- For institutional data and policy decisions, treat CampusPin as a discovery layer and verify final details with the institution directly.
