Now that your website is up and running. Do you have that one page that gets forgotten or left out? I am talking about having a sitemap. Every website out there should have one. Why, because….
1) Navigation purposes
A sitemap is a guide of your website. It is a place for your visitors to go to if they become lost browsing your pages. Having a sitemap makes your website user friendly.
2) Instant information
When your visitors sees your sitemap, they will be able to see all of what you have to offer in less amount of time. People love shortcuts and instant information.
3) Site optimization When you create a sitemap, you are creating a page that contains links to every single page on your site. This is an effective method for the search engines robots to crawl and then index your website. TIP: Have your sitemap link on the front page of your website.
4) Organization and relevance
A sitemap allows you to instantly see your structure as well. By using a sitemap you can find out quickly if you need more content in a certain area.
Google provides a lot of website tools, including a resource for a sitemap generator, click here
