Most freelancers send clients a PDF sitemap or a rough list in an email. The problem? It gets lost, it doesn't update, and the client forgets what they agreed to.
A Google Sheet fixes all of this.
In your master sheet — the one you're already sharing with the client — dedicate a tab to the sitemap. Map out every page, group them by section, and keep it live throughout the project.
The benefits are real:
- The client can see the structure evolving in context alongside briefs, content and feedback
- You have a single source of truth for scope (no "I thought we were getting a blog" conversations)
- It's easy to add columns for status, copy owner, and go-live date
