       IRON PIXEL — OPTIMIZED SITEMAP
       ironpixel.co | Jefferson City, MO
       Last updated: 2026-05-18
       
       SEO/GEO/AEO Optimization Notes:
       - Admin, login, and internal tool pages are excluded
       - Priority reflects page's commercial/conversion value
       - changefreq reflects actual expected update cadence
       - Duplicate near-pages (HVAC/HVACWebsites, etc.) are flagged
         below — canonical tags on-page should resolve them, but
         consolidation is recommended (see audit notes at bottom)
