For websites and digital marketers, algorithms refer to the many programs designed to analyze and assess either a website, individual digital elements, or user behavior on a site.

Sitemap
A structured file that catalogs and organizes a website, for easy, readable access by search engines.
A sitemap should be submitted to major search engines when you create a site, and also any time you have large-scale restructuring of the site. New sitemaps do not need to be generated every time a new page goes live. These will usually be crawled by search engines and added to the number of indexed pages on a site.
