It’s just the smart thing to do.

3. Set Up Your XML Sitemap File

Everybody publishing a website wants to be seen, and creating a sitemap.xml file will help to ensure that yours is.

This file lists and organizes all the pages and URLs of your website, letting Google read and understand it much more effectively.

Doing this will help Google index your entire site and rank it better.

The best part is, if you’re using WordPress, it is really easy to do.

Simply install the Google XML Sitemaps plugin, and you’ll have that sitemap.xml file ready before you can say “Hey Google, notice me!”
