BitGo is hiring a Labs marketer to grow new products through SEO and AI-built landing pages, and a product marketer to own launches. But bitgo.com/robots.txt tells every crawler the sitemap is at "http://localhost:8080/sitemap-index.xml", and lists llms.txt at the same development address. Search engines and AI assistants that discover pages through robots.txt are pointed at a machine they cannot reach, so the 5,829 URLs in the real sitemap, including every new launch page, depend on other discovery routes.

Why it works
Change both lines to https://www.bitgo.com/sitemap-index.xml and https://www.bitgo.com/llms.txt, make the build fail if robots.txt contains "localhost", submit the sitemap in Google Search Console and Bing Webmaster Tools, and check indexing of the newest product pages a week later. Make this check part of every Labs launch.
It is a one-line fix with outsized reach: every page Labs and product marketing publish gets found faster by search engines and AI assistants.
