Struggling with Laravel sitemap generation: Any beginner tips?

Hey everyone, I'm a complete newbie to Laravel SEO and honestly, I'm feeling a bit lost trying to get my sitemap generation working properly. I've been trying a few things for a while now, hoping to improve my site's indexing, but I'm still stuck and would really appreciate some guidance from those more experienced. My main issue is that my sitemap isn't updating dynamically as I expect it to, or at least it doesn't seem to be showing up correctly in Google Search Console. I’m building a content-heavy site where new articles are added regularly, and the whole point of a dynamic sitemap for me was to ensure these new pages get discovered and indexed quickly. Despite using what seems to be a popular Laravel sitemap package (the one by Spatie, which everyone recommends), and diligently running the `php artisan sitemap:generate` command, my sitemap.xml file either remains unchanged for new content or, when it does update, Google Search Console still reports issues or shows an outdated version. It's really frustrating because I want to make sure my content is easily discoverable for search engines. So far, I've tried a few things to troubleshoot. I've made sure to clear my application cache (`php artisan cache:clear` and `config:clear`) after making changes, thinking it might be a caching issue. I've double-checked my routes to ensure they are correctly defined and accessible. I even attempted to manually generate a sitemap by hardcoding a few URLs to see if the file itself was the problem, but it seems fine when static. I’ve gone through the package documentation multiple times, checked my database queries for pulling dynamic content, and even tried to tweak the frequency and priority settings within the sitemap configuration, but nothing seems to yield reliable, dynamic indexing. I've also looked into the Search Console's sitemap report, and it often just says 'Couldn't fetch' or shows 'Discovered URLs: 0' even after a successful submission. I’m really looking for best practices for reliable dynamic sitemap generation in Laravel, especially for a beginner like me. Are there common pitfalls I should be aware of that aren't immediately obvious? Or perhaps alternative methods that are easier to implement for ensuring consistent indexing of new content? Any advice on how to properly set up Laravel sitemap generation for a site with frequently updated content would be a lifesaver. Anyone faced this before or have general advice for a beginner trying to get their content indexed properly?
