The sitemap is a blueprint of your website that can help to search engines find, crawl, and index all of your website's content.

class SitemapsController extends Controller
{
    public function posts()
    {
        $posts = Post::all();

        foreach ($posts as $post) {
            Sitemap::addTag(route('posts.show', $post), $post->updated_at, 'daily', '0.6');
        }

        return Sitemap::render();
    }
}

    Parameters :  $tag->addImage($location, $caption, $geoLocation, $title, $licenceUrl).

use Page;
use Sitemap;

class SitemapsController extends Controller
{
    public function pages()
    {
        $pages = Page::all();

        foreach ($pages as $page) {
            $tag = Sitemap::addTag(route('pages.show', $page), $page->updated_at, 'daily', '0.8');

            foreach ($page->images as $image) {
                $tag->addImage($image->url, $image->caption);
            }
        }

        return Sitemap::render();
    }
}
