Use Both XML Sitemap & RSS/ATOM Feeds for Optimal Crawl Says Google

When coming to index your site urls in a single page using sitemap and rss feed, we do have an either or question, that which would serve the best for the better search results.

Google clarifies it but saying that, webmasters have to use both XML sitemaps and RSS feeds for optimial crawling for your webpages.

Google Says,

"For optimal crawling, we recommend using both XML sitemaps and RSS/Atom feeds. XML sitemaps will give Google information about all of the pages on your site. RSS/Atom feeds will provide all updates on your site, helping Google to keep your content fresher in its index. Note that submitting sitemaps or feeds does not guarantee the indexing of those URLs."
