Find URLs in my sitemap with zero impressions in 90 days (orphans)
URLs in your sitemap that haven't earned a single impression in 90 days are likely orphaned, thin, or duplicate.
The prompt
Copy this and paste it into Claude, Cursor, or any AI client connected to your GenieSeo MCP URL.
For my main Search Console property:
1. List every sitemap submitted to this property. For each, fetch the URL list.
2. Cross-reference the union of all sitemap URLs with Search Console performance data (impressions over the last 90 days). Flag every URL with exactly 0 impressions.
3. Batch-inspect the flagged URLs (up to 50 representative samples if the list is large). Note their indexed state.
4. For each flagged URL recommend ONE action: KEEP_AND_FIX (orphan that should rank), NOINDEX (low-value but useful for users), 301_TO_BEST (near-duplicate of a stronger page), or DELETE (should never have shipped).
Output as a Markdown table sorted by recommendation.When to use it
Quarterly content audit. Orphans waste crawl budget and dilute site quality signals. Either fix them or remove them.
What you get back
- List of every URL submitted in your sitemap(s) with zero impressions in the last 90 days.
- Indexed status for each (URL Inspection, batched).
- Recommendation per URL: KEEP_AND_FIX / NOINDEX / 301_TO_BEST / DELETE.
How this runs
GenieSeo doesn't execute prompts — your AI client does. Make sure your MCP URL is connected to Claude, Cursor, Codex, or Antigravity. New here? Read the 60-second setup guide.

Frequently asked questions
How do I run the "Find URLs in my sitemap with zero impressions in 90 days (orphans)" prompt?+
Sign up for GenieSeo, connect Google OAuth, paste your MCP URL into Claude or Cursor, then copy the prompt from this page into a new chat. The model will call the relevant Search Console or GA4 tools automatically.
Does this recipe change my Google data?+
No. This recipe only uses read-only Search Console and GA4 scopes. It will not submit sitemaps or modify properties unless you use a separate write-enabled recipe.
What is a GenieSeo recipe?+
A recipe is a copy-paste prompt you run inside Claude, Cursor, or Codex after connecting your GenieSeo MCP URL. It tells the model which Search Console or GA4 tools to call and how to format the answer.
Do I need GenieSeo connected before using a recipe?+
Yes. Sign up at GenieSeo, approve Google OAuth, paste your personal MCP URL into your AI client, then paste the recipe prompt. Without MCP, the model cannot reach live Google data.
