Hello,

Thank you for your query and we are so sorry about the trouble this must have caused.

We checked your website and the robots meta is already set to index as you can see from this screenshot:

In this case, please submit your website to your Google Search Console’s URL inspection tool and validate the fix.

Let us know how that goes. Looking forward to helping you.

Hello,

We understand your concern about the sitemap being set as ‘noindex’, but we assure you that this is how it should be.

The reason is that we don’t want Google to index the sitemap itself, we only want them to index the pages and posts that are listed on the sitemap. The sitemap is just a way to tell Google what pages and posts you have on your website, not a page that you want to show up in search results.

The important thing is that your pages and posts are set to ‘index’, which means that they are eligible to appear in Google search results.

You can check this by looking at the Rank Math settings on each page or post, or by using the Google URL Inspection tool.

To make sure that Google knows about your sitemap and can crawl your pages and posts, you need to submit your sitemap to Google Search Console.

This is a simple process that you can follow by using our tutorial: https://rankmath.com/kb/submit-sitemap-to-google/

Hope that helps, and please do not hesitate to let us know if you need our assistance with anything else.

Hello,

Rank Math will submit your sitemap index automatically to Google if you have connected Rank Math with your Google Search Console account using the URL-prefix property.

When you connect Rank Math with Search Console, please ensure that you are not connecting via a domain property but rather a URL prefix and that you have verified the correct version of your website on the Google Search Console (HTTP or HTTPS, www or non-www).

The URL-prefix property helps keep your sitemap in sync with Google Search Console as we submit it automatically for you.

Here is a guide you can follow to connect Rank Math to Google Search Console: https://rankmath.com/kb/connect-your-google-account/

Hope this helps and please don’t hesitate to let us know if you have any other questions.

Thank you.
