feat(freelancer-directory): go live — indexable, sitemap + llms, og:image, Plausible, homepage inbound link

- /odoo-community-developers/ no longer noindex,nofollow; title/description/H1 target 'hire odoo developer'
- added og:image + og:image:alt (the page's own hero), twitter summary_large_image
- Plausible snippet copied byte-for-byte as the last thing in <head>
- sitemap.xml + llms.txt entries
- one inbound link: a homepage FAQ card (client-facing, the established FAQ->page pattern)
- relay forms untouched: ODOO_EXPERTS_QUOTE_WEBHOOK / ODOO_EXPERTS_INVITE_WEBHOOK stay empty
- admin page (/admin/) stays noindex and unlinked

 - [ODOO Workshops and Classes](https://odoo4projects.com/workshops/): the two live courses side by side — the two-hour ODOO x N8N Masterclass (USD 120.00) and the ten-session ODOO ERP Automation Bootcamp (USD 595.00), both taught by Oliver Arnold — which course fits which business, and a full comparison table.
 - [What can I use Odoo for?](https://odoo4projects.com/what-can-i-use-odoo-for/): plain-English guide to what Odoo is used for — the ten apps and what each is for, what Odoo is used for by business type (manufacturing, retail and trade, services, construction, nonprofits, accounting practices, small business starting out), where it stops (Odoo Online will not take custom code, it will not do your trade's specialist work), what it costs, and how to start. Includes the nine-question FAQ.
 - [Odoo staging environment](https://odoo4projects.com/odoo-staging-environment/): what an Odoo staging environment is, how odoo.sh's staging branches work, why most small businesses do not need one, and the simpler back-up-install-test route we offer instead.
+- [Odoo freelancers](https://odoo4projects.com/odoo-community-developers/): independent Odoo freelancers for our clients looking for one. Each card carries what the freelancer published and their contact details where they published them — no rating and no ranking, and the client writes to the freelancer directly.
 - [Home](https://odoo4projects.com/): plans and pricing, FAQ, server locations.
 - [Support](https://odoo4projects.com/support.html): support and frequently asked questions.
 - [Legal](https://odoo4projects.com/legal.html): company details.
