Google uses the sitemap to: 1) **Discover New Pages:** Identify new or updated pages on your website that it hasn't crawled yet. 2) **Understand URL Structure:** Learn the organization of your website's URLs. 3) **Prioritize Indexing:** Understand which pages are most important and should be indexed first. 4) **Identify Crawl Issues:** Detect any problems during crawling, such as broken links or inaccessible pages.
