    Hi, when I do a URL inspection in the Google Search console, it says there is “No referring sitemaps detected”. I thought Rank Math automatically created the site map. Is that correct? Thank you, Carley

  • Hello,

    Thank you for contacting Rank Math and bringing your concern to our attention. I’m sorry for any inconvenience this issue may have caused you.

    The no referring sitemaps detected message in your Google Search Console means that Google didn’t use your sitemap to discover the page. Sitemaps is only one of the few methods Google uses to discover your URLs.

    Also, please note that each time Google uses a sitemap to find a URL, the count of the Discovered URLs increases by one.

    When the count of the Discovered URLs is zero or does not match your actual sitemap in your Google Search Console, it means Google didn’t use the sitemap to find the URLs.

    It mostly happens when you have good internal linking or use the Instant Indexing plugin.

    Here’s a link for more information:

    Hope that helps.

    Thank you.

    Ok thanks for the info.
