Inserting code for Google Sitemaps
Sitemaps are a way to tell Google about pages on your site they might not otherwise discover. In its simplest terms, a XML Sitemap—usually called Sitemap, is a list of the pages on your website. Creating and submitting a Sitemap helps make sure that Google knows about all the pages on your site, including URLs that may not be discoverable by Google's normal crawling process.
Sitemaps is particularly helpful if your website is new with no or very few links pointing to it.
You will in no way be penalised for inserting Sitemaps code into your site.
You will need to speak to your web developer about inserting Sitemaps within your websites coding if they haven't already done so. Many web development companies will insert the code as a matter of course. If you are unsure whether or not Sitemaps has been added to your site give your development company a call. It really is a must and should be one of the first things you do.
