Most people have heard of a Sitemap. It is an HTML page that shows the hierarchal nature of all pages to your website. What most people may not know about, are the SEO benefits to using one. When the search engine bots come to your website to scan every page, you definitely want to make sure it’s in an organized fashion and that each main page is listed on the Sitemap. Not only is this great for search bots, but it’s good for visitors who are trying to find a particular page. It’s best to have a Sitemap as a last resort versus losing a visitor.
