      Hi,

      some more general question here:

      How important would you rate it to have a sitemap? Would you rate it fundamentally important or just something you can add as bonus?

      Thanks in advance

        Hi,

        For me it's a very important part of SEO. An XML sitemap creates a hierarchy of your site for bots and search engines to follow. It ensures that the spiders can easily reach all parts of your website and indexes your pages quickly.

        Hope this helps.

        Thanks

        • Client wants to remove mobile URLs from their sitemap to avoid indexing issues. However this will require SEVERAL billing hours. Is having both mobile/desktop URLs in a sitemap really that detrimental to search indexing?
