    Hello,

    I just saw that my new website was recently indexed. But I was curious because search console is stating:

    1 page is indexed, but not found in the site map.

    Is there anything I need to do on my end to fix this?

    Hello,

    Thank you for contacting us.

    Indexed, Not Submitted in Sitemap, it is not an issue, it only means that Google has already indexed the posts/pages but not through the sitemap.

    It is possible that Google is crawling and indexing the post through the internal links on your website and not through the sitemap, and as a result, the crawl budget for your website is exhausted and Google is not able to discover the URLs through your sitemap.

    As long as the posts/pages are getting crawled and indexed, there’s nothing to be worried about.

    However, you can share the affected URL so that we can see if it is there in the sitemaps or not.

    Looking forward to helping you.

    Thank you.

    So is my rank math set up correctly?

    Do I have to do anything on my end after I create articles in order for the sitemap to be updated?

    Hello,

    For all the post types where the sitemaps are enabled, we automatically update the sitemaps whenever a new post/page/CPT is published, so you do not need to do anything.

    However, you should ensure that the sitemaps are not getting cached. Here’s a guide regarding that: https://rankmath.com/kb/exclude-sitemaps-from-caching/

    You can also share the URL from the message in your Google Search Console account so that we can see if everything is working fine in the sitemaps.

    Looking forward to helping you.

    Thank you.
