A sitemap is a file that provides information about the structure of your website. It helps search engines like Bing, Google etc. understand how all of your content is organized and what each page is about. The basic purpose behind creating a sitemap is to ensure that your pages are indexed properly for better visibility in search engine results. Creating and submitting a sitemap to Google Search Console (GSC) can help you improve your website’s performance in search results by providing an accurate overview of the pages on your website and how crawlers access them. A sitemap also helps you identify any issues that could be preventing your site from being indexed correctly. You do not necessarily need a sitemap to appear in Google search results. As long as your site is organized correctly and the pages are logically linked to each other Google’s web crawlers will find most of your pages. If you have a very large website with several pages and subpages Blitzen Media would recommend providing a site map as indexing may become a challenge without one.
