    Hi,
    Yes, if you have mobile website on different URL then you should tell to the Google about all url in form of different XML sitemap.

    There is no need to have a separate sitemap for mobile website. It will only create confusions!

    Here is the link: https://www.seroundtable.com/google-mobile-sitemaps-20137.html Explaining more about that topic!

    I also agree about having one sitemap for mobile and pc, make it simple, multiple sitemaps multiple work.

    First off, you shouldn't have or need a separate mobile subdomain. That is incredibly annoying, and breaks stuff more often than not, because it is not set up correctly (for instance, sharing links on FB - if you have it set up wrong, you end up sharing the mobile site's url, with the m-subdomain prefix, and when opening that on a computer, you end up with a completely broken site - because redirects aren't handled properly). What you should do is create a site that works as it should regardless of screen size, based on proper, reponsive design - that way you only have on site to mess up, and only one sitemap to control.

    Hi, Why you need the separate domain for your website to mobile website, why you didn't use the bootstrap classes to make the website mobile friendly? Choose the responsive themes and designs.
    And sitemap, there is no need to do this, not even to the main website if you have the small website and quality content in your website

    Only if the there are two different sites (i.e. m. domain.com & www. domain.com). Otherwise G will only index the domain version of the sitemaps. However, I always generate both and submit both out of habit. It doesn't hurt anything.

    No .. It doesn't make any sense using multiple sitemaps for mobile and web..
