To make a quick comparison, some websites have an HTML sitemap on their webpage, which is visible to visitors and serves to provide better user experience and overall easier navigation. An XML sitemap has a similar role, but the key difference is that it helps search engines navigate your website instead of users.[\/vc_column_text][vc_empty_space height=&#8221;28px&#8221;][vc_column_text]This file<strong> lists the content of your website in an XML format, which makes it easy for Google to discover your content and then index it<\/strong>. So, not only does an XML sitemap ensure that Google finds and crawls all these pages, but it helps Google comprehend the structure of your website as well. It also lets search engines determine the links that are more important than others and notifies them about the frequency of your site updates in general.[\/vc_column_text][vc_empty_space height=&#8221;80px&#8221;][vc_widget_sidebar sidebar_id=&#8221;new-seo-banner&#8221;][vc_empty_space height=&#8221;81px&#8221;][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column][vc_column_text]<\/p>\n<h2 class=\"qodef-h4\"><a id=\"why-add-xml-sitemap-to-wordpress-site\"><\/a>Why You Should Add an XML Sitemap to Your WordPress Site<\/h2>\n<p>[\/vc_column_text][vc_column_text]While an XML sitemap is not directly responsible for better search engine ranking of your site, it does let search engines know about the existence of your pages. Therefore,<strong> if you implement an XML sitemap into your site, search engine bots will crawl and index your content more easily<\/strong>, which means that the engines will end up showing these pages in their results. And naturally, if engines become aware of your pages\u2019 existence, some of them will eventually succeed in getting higher ranks as well.[\/vc_column_text][vc_empty_space height=&#8221;28px&#8221;][vc_column_text]Adding an XML sitemap is particularly useful if you\u2019re creating a WordPress website for the first time or <a href=\"https:\/\/qodeinteractive.com\/magazine\/how-to-set-up-a-wordpress-blog\/\">setting up a WordPress blog<\/a> from scratch. The reason for this is simple \u2013 new websites usually don\u2019t have any backlinks when starting out, which makes it trickier for search engines to find their content.[\/vc_column_text][vc_empty_space height=&#8221;28px&#8221;][vc_column_text]Luckily, search engines like Google and Bing allow the submission of a sitemap directly to their webmaster tools, in turn making it easier for engines to discover your pages.<br \/>\n[\/vc_column_text][vc_empty_space height=&#8221;28px&#8221;][vc_column_text]In a nutshell, adding an XML sitemap is extremely important as it plays one of the vital roles when it comes to improving the search engine visibility of your pages. There are various ways in which you can create a WordPress XML sitemap. We are going to show you two of the most universally accepted methods \u2013 the first one is done with the use of a Yoast SEO plugin, while the second can be implemented with a plugin called Google XML Sitemaps.<br \/>\n[\/vc_column_text][vc_empty_space height=&#8221;68px&#8221;][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column][vc_column_text]<\/p>\n<h2 class=\"qodef-h4\"><a id=\"creating-sitemap-with-yoast-seo\"><\/a>How to create a Sitemap With Yoast SEO<\/h2>\n<p>[\/vc_column_text][vc_column_text]<a href=\"https:\/\/wordpress.org\/plugins\/wordpress-seo\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Yoast SEO<\/a> is not only well-known for its ease of use, but it also comes with a wide range of practical SEO features \u2013 most of which are available for free.
