A site map is a kind of interactive table of contents, in which each listed item links directly to its counterpart sections of the Web site. Sitemap helps in easy crawling of all the pages of a website. Especially when you have a dynamic website or website with thousands of pages, xml sitemap is very helpful. After creating this sitemap, submit it to Google.

XML Sitemaps are important for SEO because they make it easier for Google to find your site's pages—this is important because Google ranks web PAGES not just websites. There is no downside of having an XML Sitemap and having one can improve your SEO, so we highly recommend them.
