What do you think of using XML sitemaps?

An XML sitemap:
- Ensures better visibility by search engines
- Enables you to rely less on external links that will bring search engines to your site.
- Helps with broken internal links or orphaned pages that cannot be reached in other way
- Alerts search engines to any changes/additions to your site
- Helps you choose pages that you don’t want to index
What do you think about it?

XML sitemaps are important because they explain all the pages of our site to Google. By submitting your site's XML sitemap you can make sure that all the pages of your site are indexed with Google.

I agree, using a sitemap is critical in ensuring your website to be navigational and user friendly
