Format: Must be in XML format.
Location: Typically placed in the root directory of your website.
Types of URLs:
- Standard URLs - Regular pages on your site.
- Images - URLs of images hosted on your site.
- Videos - URLs of videos hosted on your site.

Last Modified: Indicates when a page was last changed.

To create a basic sitemap.xml, you can follow this template:

&lt;?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?&gt;
&lt;urlset xmlns="http://www.sitemaps.org/schemas/sitemap-image/1.1"&gt;
    &lt;url&gt;
        &lt;loc&gt;http://www.example.com/&lt;/loc&gt;
        &lt;lastmod&gt;2023-10-01&lt;/lastmod&gt;
        &lt;changefreq&gt;monthly&lt;/changefreq&gt;
        &lt;priority&gt;1.0&lt;/priority&gt;
    &lt;/url&gt;
    &lt;url&gt;
        &lt;loc&gt;http://www.example.com/about&lt;/loc&gt;
        &lt;lastmod&gt;2023-10-01&lt;/lastmod&gt;
        &lt;changefreq&gt;monthly&lt;/changefreq&gt;
        &lt;priority&gt;0.8&lt;/priority&gt;
    &lt;/url&gt;
&lt;/urlset&gt;
