By creating an XML sitemap, tells Google what content on your website is important. You also need an XML sitemap to help Google crawl all your important web pages and index them. If you used a content management website, like WordPress, to build your site there are a variety of plugins and tools you can download or install that will automatically generate an XML sitemap for you. Some content management systems automatically build an XML sitemap without any additional tools needed. If you did not create a website with a content management system, there are also tools you can use to help you build your sitemap. If you used a plugin, you will have something that looks like an URL. If built the sitemap on your own, you’ll have a file. Once you’re ready, you will then submit your sitemap to Google Search Console.
