In its simplest form;
Sitemap

URL (when
was last updated, how often it usually changes, and how important itis, relative t0 other URLS in the site}

associated metadata. Using the Sitemap prOtOcol does not guarantee that web pages are included in search engines
but provides hints ior web crawlers t0 do
better job of crawling your site
