Things have been busy at ThriveSmart HQ the last couple of weeks. Yesterday we unveiled event publication and distribution, and today an update to help Sprout websites rank higher in search results! With today’s upgrade all Sprout! websites receive site map files and updated URLs to improve search engine results.
A site map file informs search engines about URLs on a website that are available for crawling[1]. The site map allows us to not only inform search engines of the existence of pages but also to rank the importance of each page within the site.

Last night we deployed an updated version of sprout with a couple new features. We are also really excited to start posting regarding the latest and greatest version of Sprout! For those not familiar with Sprout! a little background:
ThriveSmart Sprout! is a web based application featuring an intuitive interface for page creation, image uploading and content authoring. Easily customize a website by adding: products and services pages, business hours, contact information, stunning slide shows and more. Sprout! is much more than just another generic website builder: websites are created structured for businesses automatically.
We added support for Real Estate Professionals to the list of custom icons (from the edit menu: Colors & Settings -> Colors & Icons). We now support seven (including the default).
- Dentistry
- Doctors
- Optometry
- Restaurants
- Optometry Associations
- Real Estate Professional
I’ve included a screen grab of what the new navigation icons and titles look like below.
Based on customer feedback we also updated the Sprout! manual.
Until next time!
