What is a Sitemap?
Sitemaps are the directory index for the search engine robots that will guide them how the website pages are structured and organized, what pages to crawl, which pages are important. 

The search engine robots generally look for sitemap.xml as soon as it first enters the domain for crawling. It will follow the sitemap URLs and crawl the web page contents and add them to its search index database. 

Whenever a website gets updated for new page, or existing page updated or old page removed, these changes will be updated in the sitemap and must be submitted to search engine bots, so they can fetch the updated information to updates its search index database.

This will help the businesses to keep update of their website information in the Search Engine index database for any changes happening on the website pages.
