► About this video
Search engines discover new pages and updated content by following links. That works well, but search engines cannot find all content this way. It’s also not always the fastest way for them to discover new or changed pages. Instead of just following links, it’s much more efficient for search engines to follow a map. An XML sitemap generated by Yoast SEO is a treasure map for search engines. It gives them directions to all of your content and tells them about when your pages were last updated.
Even small sites with few pages can benefit from having an XML sitemap, as it prevents search engines from having to guess where your content is, or when it was last updated. For more significant sites, having an XML sitemap is essential. If your website consists of thousands of pages, if you are in the news business, or if you are just not that good at internal linking, you need to help search engines to discover and prioritize your content.
That’s why Yoast SEO automatically creates rich, robust, and complete XML sitemaps for all of your content types.
