What is a sitemap and why do I need one?

Sitemaps

A sitemap is an XML file that lists all the important pages on your website. It helps search engines discover and crawl your content more efficiently.

While Google can find pages through links, a sitemap is especially important for:

  • New websites with few external links
  • Large sites with hundreds or thousands of pages
  • Pages with few internal links pointing to them
  • Sites with frequently updated content

How AutoPSEO helps

AutoPSEO lists every sitemap Google knows about for your property, inspects the URLs inside it and shows a Sitemap Performance report that maps clicks and impressions onto each sitemap, so you can see which sections of the site actually earn traffic.
