A sitemap is a file that is created to list your pages and inform Google about the structure and information found on your website .

These files can provide search engines with valuable information that can then be crawled based on the relevance of the website, such as:

When was the last time a page was updated.
The frequency of change.
The importance of that page (URL to Google) compared to other URLs.
Sitemaps are created based on XML tags and one of the facilities that Google gives you is that you can create them for videos and images independently from the rest of the content.

This is important because with the regular tracking mechanism it would be impossible to decipher whether that content is audiovisual or image content.

What this does is add a thumbnail image to suggest to the user that the content offers a video or images.

Google gives you the opportunity to create a sitemap to include video or image content , or if you prefer, you can include the information in one already created.

You may be wondering, what value does it add to my website? Sitemaps are essential to allow Google to crawl your site easily and, above all, quickly.

It is believed that the way content is indexed in Google is in a tree-like manner, i.e. branch by branch. With sitemaps, you have the ease of seeing all the pages at once.

A Sitemap is simply a list of the pages on your website. Here's what Google has to say about them:

 

“Sitemaps are a way to tell Google about pages on your site that we might not otherwise discover. In its simplest terms, an XML Sitemap (usually referred to as a Sitemap, with a capital S) is a list of the pages on your website. Creating and submitting a Sitemap helps ensure that Google knows about all the pages on your site, including URLs that can’t be discovered by Google’s normal crawling process.”
