      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
