    For example, I’d like that when you search in Google, the first appears like this (see 1st result, with the name of the site and the categories) : https://www.google.fr/search?q=freiburger+barockorchester&rlz=1C5CHFA_enFR681FR681&oq=freiburger&aqs=chrome.5.69i57j69i60l2j69i61j35i39l2.3644j0j7&sourceid=chrome&ie=UTF-

    Help !

    Use a plugin like Yoast SEO to create an XML sitemap and submit it to Google. The HTML you created is human-readable but not the right format for Google.

    I tried with the Yoast SEO but it’s impossible to create a sitemap like this…

    Your HTML site map is for humans. The XML sitemap is for Google. They are different things for different purposes.

    Hi @revopera,
    the results you see are not generated by the site but by Google. When Google believes it will help users, it adds direct links to categories or actions for a given search result. What you can do to help Google’s bots understand your site better, is add structured data to your site.
    What @sterndata suggested is to add Yoast SEO to create sitemaps that Google bots (and Bing bots) can read and understand. This way the search engines will know all your site’s pages and will add them to a queue to be indexed. After they are created you can submit them to Google Search Console.

    I hope this helped clear some things up.
