Why Wouldn't YOU
Submit A Sitemap?
Have you ever tried guessing the direction to a location you dont often visit?
Not the best solution is it? that's exactly what its like when you dont submit an sitemap.xml to search engines. They may find some of your URL's but they might NOT.
When it comes to improving your search engine rankings its never a good idea to leave it to chance.
If Google/Bing has your sitemap they know where all of your links are located and the more they can include in their search results.
What Is A Sitemap?
A Sitemap is an XML file on your web server.
Its Like An Organization Map that structures your website by links and how they interconnect.
Search Engines like Bing, Google and Duckduckgo utilize sitemaps to crawl your site because it makes their job easier for inclusion into their results.
Do You Need A Sitemap? YES... some may argue no, but in my 11 years of online marketing experience it helps.
