What is a site map?
It is a list up page of the page that exists on the site.
If you compare it, it's like a table of contents of a travel guidebook.
There is a guidebook in Tokyo, and there are many sightseeing spots, so it is very convenient to find a page where you want to go and where you are interested in! It is like that. Without the table of contents, you don't know what is written when choosing a book, and you don't know the page you want to see after buying. To get rid of what.
Two types of site maps are required
Even if you say a site map, you have to make two kinds of site maps.
That's because there are two types of people on the site.
Site map for users
Users = people who have accessed the site. In other words, you there!
I often use it when I want to understand the entire site. Specifically, take a look at the SEO STYLE site map.

Site map for crawler
You can't say you're a visit to the site, but you need to create a site map for Google's crawler. Creating a site map for crawlers has the advantage of conveying the structure of the site properly and making it easier to index.
This site map is created in XML format instead of a normal HTML file. You can convey more information to the crawler than the site map, such as the update date of the site, the frequency of updates, and the priority of crawls.
That is, when you add a new content or special page, don't forget to update both the site map and XML format!
summary
Site Map → XML format site maps that people see
→ Crawler can
see the search ranking, which should be a site that is easy to use and is excellent when a person sees.
