If you're looking to optimize your website's search engine visibility, submitting an XML sitemap and setting up a robots.txt file are essential steps.
An XML sitemap is a file that lists all the pages of your website that you want search engines to index. It helps search engines crawl and understand the structure of your website, which can improve your website's ranking in search results.
On the other hand, HTML sitemaps are primarily intended for users to navigate the website. They display the links to all the pages on your website in a single page, making it easier for visitors to find the information they need.
Submitting an XML sitemap to search engines such as Google and Bing is a simple process. First, generate an XML sitemap using a tool or plugin, and then upload it to the root directory of your website. Next, submit the sitemap URL to Google Search Console or Bing Webmaster Tools. The search engine will then use the sitemap to crawl and index your site more efficiently.
