Way back in the “good old days” of SEO, many “SEO firms” made a pretty good living “submitting your website to thousands of search engines.” While that has never been a sound tactic/method of achieving SEO nirvana, today’s SEO provides us with opportunities to ensure that we get our content – in all shapes, sizes, and forms – indexed in the search engines, to the best of our ability.

When it comes to the crawling phase of SEO and bot visibility, we often first check what we hold from search engines via robots.txt and meta robots tag usage. But equally important is the content/URLs that we feed search engines.

Long ago, the best practice was to create an HTML sitemap of at least all your higher-level pages and link this HTML sitemap from the footer of all site pages. This allowed search engines the ability to have a buffet of site URLs from any one page on your site.

Then along came XML sitemaps. Extensible Markup Language is the preferred means of data digestion by search engines.

With this tool at our disposal, a site administrator has the ability to tell/feed search engines data on the pages of a site they want crawled as well as the priority or hierarchy of site content alongside information on when the page was last updated.

Let’s walk through the initial first steps of how to create sitemaps for varied content types.

A site map is a model of a website's content designed to help both users and search engines navigate the site. A site map can be a hierarchical list of pages (with links) organized by topic, an organization chart, or an XML document that provides instructions to search engine crawl bots.

[sweetsdailyupda]

There are two types of sitemap. Sitemap.html & Sitemap.xml

An HTML sitemap has essentially two purposes, on the one hand to let us know about the structure of your website, and on the other hand to let users find other parts on your website.

An XML sitemap is a little bit different because it is solely for search engines about your pages.

[Bluesky94]

A site map (or sitemap) is a list of pages of a web site accessible to crawlers or users. It can be either a document in any form used as a planning tool for Web design, or a Web page that lists the pages on a website, typically organized in hierarchical fashion.

Sitemaps make relationships between pages and other content components. It shows shape of information space in overview. Sitemaps can demonstrate organization, navigation, and labeling system.

[ShreyaKoushik]

Sitemap - In its simplest form, a sitemap is a document that lists all URLs of your website (that you want crawled). The document details additional information such as the date a page was last modified, how frequently a page may change and whether the page should be given priority over others.
