Odoo's website builder auto-publishes almost everything into the /sitemap.xml feed the moment a record goes live — thank-you pages, filtered eCommerce variants, staging drafts, tag archives, internal knowledge pages, duplicate parameterized URLs. For a growing catalog this quietly floods search engines with low-value and near-duplicate URLs, dilutes crawl budget, and buries the pages you actually want ranking. Odoo core only exposes a coarse website_indexed boolean on a page and offers no per-record UI to keep a URL live for humans while excluding it from the sitemap and search index. Teams end up hand-editing ir.ui.view records or bolting on external robots rules that drift out of sync with the catalog — brittle work that breaks on the next upgrade.

ECOSIRE builds a purpose-made module that adds a first-class "SEO visibility" control across every indexable model — website.page, product.template, blog.post, slide.channel, and any custom published model you nominate. We extend the relevant models with computed and stored fields (x_exclude_from_sitemap, x_robots_directive, x_canonical_override) via a clean inheriting mixin, so the flag travels with the record and survives duplication. The controller layer overrides Odoo's sitemap generation (Website._enumerate_pages / the /sitemap.xml route) so excluded records are filtered out of the emitted XML, while the page still renders normally for direct visitors. A companion QWeb hook injects the correct <meta name="robots"> (noindex,follow by default, configurable per record) and an optional rel="canonical" into the page <head>, keeping the sitemap signal and the on-page signal consistent — the single most common cause of "excluded page still indexed" support tickets.

Control is exposed where your team already works: a checkbox and directive selector on the form view of each model, a batch "Exclude from sitemap" server action for list selections, and an optional rule-based ir.actions.server automated action so URLs matching a pattern (draft stages, specific website_ids, product variants, archived tags) are excluded automatically as records are created. Everything is permissioned through ir.model.access.csv plus record rules so only your SEO or marketing role can change visibility, and a lightweight audit log records who changed what and when. Multi-website instances are respected — exclusion is evaluated per website_id, so a page can be indexed on one storefront and hidden on another. The module ships with a technical settings panel for global defaults and a "regenerate sitemap" action, and is delivered against Odoo 17.0, 18.0, or 19.0 on Community or Enterprise (Enterprise's website features are additive — nothing here depends on them).

Because this is built to order, nothing is downloaded from an app marketplace: after a short scoping call we confirm exactly which models, websites, and exclusion rules you need, then build, test on a staging copy of your database, and deliver the installable source with documentation and a training session. Typical delivery is one working week from confirmed scope. Pricing starts from $999 (indicative, single-company base scope); additional websites in a multi-company/multi-website setup, custom published models beyond the standard four, deeper localization, or migration of existing hand-maintained exclusion rules increases the quoted scope.
