The importance of a sitemap for SEO
An up-to-date sitemap helps search engines discover URLs and identify changes. It does not guarantee that every page will be crawled or indexed, or when it will appear in search results.
How to create and submit a sitemap?
A sitemap can be generated automatically, for example in WordPress, and submitted through Google Search Console. Submission helps communicate URLs to the search engine but does not force indexing.
