  Last updated: 2026-05-11

  Each <url> entry lists every language variant via <xhtml:link rel="alternate" hreflang="..">.
  This mirrors the hreflang <link> tags in each page's <head> and is the strongest signal
  to Google that EN and ES pages are language alternates of the same content.

  Conventions:
    - English canonical:  https://herohousepediatrics.com/<slug>
    - Spanish canonical:  https://herohousepediatrics.com/es/<slug>
    - x-default points to the English version (default for unspecified locales).
