    A hierarchical visual model of the pages of a Web site. Site maps help users visual model of the pages of a Web site. Site maps help in SEO a site map can make it easier for a search engine spider to find all a site's pages.
    Not all Web sites will have a site map. The less intricate a site is the less need there is for a site map to guide users.

    Sitemaps not only help search engines but your visitors as well to browse your site easily. As mentioned above, there are two types of sitemaps. HTML & XML.

    HTML sitemap is for both; search engines and for visitors. Search engines uses sitemap to crawl every page (available in sitemap) of your website. And visitors can easily find any desired/specific page they are looking for.

    XML sitemap is specifically for search engines like Google. Both sitemap contains URLS of your website.

    Hope this clears.

    The Site Map must clearly show all the sections of your site, and the information contained in each of those sections

    Sitemap is a list of pages of a web site accessible to crawlers and users. It would help your SEO by making sure that all the pages can be found and thus increase your link popularity, especially for dynamic generating sites.

    Thanks,
