What is a Sitemap?
Find out how easy it is to set up an XML Site Map 

It is vital to have a sitemap if you want to get your website onto First Page Google

Alternatively, let us secure your website on First Page Google for you. 

A Sitemap is an easy way for a web designer to inform search engines about pages on your websites that are available for crawling. In it's simplest form, a Sitemap is an XML file that lists URLs (Domain Names/Website addresses) for a website along with additional metadata about each URL (when it was last updated, how often it usually changes, and how important it is, relative to other URLs in your site) so that search engines can more intelligently crawl your website.

"Spiders crawling a website means search engines have what is called spiders, robots, bots, crawlers - to crawl through your website to read and identify relevant information regarding the nature of your type of business through your sitemap. This information is used to rank your website. Ranking a website is the position where your website will appear on a search engine site.
To appear on the First Page of Google is the ultimate position for your website to appear on.

Web crawlers usually discover pages from links within the site and from other sites. Sitemaps supplement this data to allow crawlers that support Sitemaps to pick up all URLs in the Sitemap and learn about those URLs using the associated metadata. Using the Sitemap protocol does not guarantee that web pages are included in search engines, but provides hints for web crawlers to do a better job of crawling your site.

A sitemap is required to have a number of functions

• To make it easy for search engines to crawl through your website
• To inform the spiders which web pages you want searched/scanned and which web pages you choose to be out of sight to the public.
• What order of preference with regards to importance on a scale of 1 - 10 for each page to be searched by the spiders.
• The frequency as to how often you feel you want specific web pages to be searched. Once a week, once a month.....
• Your sitemap will be your way of informing search engines that you are ready to have your web pages searched.
• Every time you create a new web page, or if you change the URL, you need to inform the search engines by submitting a notification to them.
• You need to create a web page specifically dedicated for search engines to recognize/identify your website with a specific URL for them to read.
• Logging whenever your website has been updated
