Visual Sitemap

A visual sitemap is a diagram showing the pages on a website and how they are organized. Instead of listing URLs for search engines, it helps people plan a structure they can see at a glance. A cleaning company might sketch a homepage leading to residential cleaning, commercial cleaning, service areas, and contact pages. That drawing can reveal missing information or confusing paths before anyone starts building. Visual sitemaps are especially useful during a redesign, when several people need to agree on navigation and priorities. They are planning tools, not technical files submitted to Google; an XML sitemap serves a different purpose.
