What it means
An XML sitemap lists your important URLs, often with the date they were last updated. It is usually at /sitemap.xml and submitted in Google Search Console and Bing Webmaster Tools.
Why it matters for your business
It helps search engines find pages, especially new ones, but does not guarantee indexing. Include only pages you want indexed and keep it updated automatically.
