Sitemaps are extremely important when search ranking and results are the factor. Googlebot is one of the larger programs used to index every website online today. A sitemap.xml allows Google’s bot to see what important pages are on your website. This is why its important to have a correct sitemap.xml created. There are free sitemap.xml makers out there that may work to a certain degree. But if you are trying to get the edge on your competitors, I guarantee they did not depend on the free sitemap.xml maker to get them in the top rankings.
Here is another secret for you. Have you seen websites that have links under them?
Sitelinks are additional links Google sometimes generates from site contents in order to help users navigate your site. Google generates these sitelinks periodically from your site's contents.
