A sitemap is a structured list or visual representation of a website’s structure and page hierarchy. It outlines all pages and their relationships, showing how content is organised and connected.
Sitemaps come in two types: visual sitemaps for planning and XML sitemaps for search engines. Visual sitemaps help designers and clients understand website architecture, while XML sitemaps guide search engines through a site’s content. This helps web crawlers index pages and rank them on search engines.
