Hello,
Thank you for contacting Rank Math, and sorry for any inconvenience caused.
Sitemaps help Google to crawl and index pages efficiently.
If you have included the images in the sitemap, you just need to wait for Google to crawl your website.
Also, add relevant ALT tags to images.
However, it is completely up to Google to index the images and URLs.
I will suggest you remove the sitemaps from Google and add the sitemap_index.xml again and let Google re-crawl the sitemap.
I hope this helps. Looking forward to helping you.
I have two website same issue. other site url www.24southmovie.in . Include Featured Images is disable for sitemap.
Include Featured Images is disable for sitemap. is this problem coming because of this?
Hello,
Thank you for the follow-up.
The Include Featured Image option in Sitemap settings helps your featured images to be indexed and show on the search results pages. Here’s a link for your reference:

Please also note that long as the images appear in your blog posts, Google is free to index them.
For some, it might take longer than others but there is no setting in Rank Math or any other SEO plugin you can use to make the process faster. You just need to give Google some time to show your images.
I hope that helps.
Thank you, and please don’t hesitate to contact us anytime if you need further assistance with anything else.
