How we publish and share new guides

Every guide is written and checked by the PixNova team before it goes live. When we publish or update an article it is added automatically to our public sitemap and RSS feed, and we notify search engines that support the open IndexNow standard (such as Bing). This only helps search engines find new pages sooner — it doesn't pay for or influence rankings. You can follow the RSS feed in any feed reader to get new guides as they're released.
