Posted by • SEO, Uncategorised • December 8th, 2015

A sitemap is a file where the web pages of a website that tell search engines about the structure of a website’s content. Sitemaps help search engine bots to crawl your website better and more intelligently.

A sitemap will be beneficial if your website is:

  • Really large – it prevents pages from being overlooked, especially recently added or newly edited pages.
  • Have pages that aren’t extensively linked to internally.
  • Your website is very new with very few external links pointing to it.

Google accepts a special computer readable site map to assist in indexing your site. Shopfront provides an automated site map in the correct format for search engines to crawl.
