  • Hello,

    Thank you for contacting Rank Math and sorry for any inconvenience that might have been caused due to that.

    You seem to have edited your robots.txt to disallow pages from being indexed

    Disallow: /tag/*
    Disallow: /page/*

    and also added some sitemap URLs. I’d recommend to only have you main sitemap( domain/sitemap_index.xml)added and remove the rest.

    Looking forward to helping you. Thank you.

    Hello,

    Were you able to do the changes my colleague suggested in the previous post? Or did you have any issues or questions about them?

    Looking forward to help you.

    I don’t think so it causes the issue because the Website is crawling every day however, I changed Robots.txt as per you said.

    Hello,

    We are afraid there isn’t much we can do about this.

    As you can see from the screenshots and links we have shared previously – the sitemap is appearing just fine and all the URLs are included.

    We use Google’s API and that can get wonky sometimes.

    However, there is nothing to be worried about as everything’s crawled correctly and this is just a minor false positive that you can ignore.

    Hello,

    We are closing the ticket as per your request.

    Please note that it is completely normal for a newly published post/page/website to take time before it gets crawled or indexed by Google. It depends on a lot of factors. Your posting frequency + the domain authority are just two of the many factors Google considers when indexing some new URL. Google assigns a crawl budget to your website depending on these factors (especiall these two) and that has a direct effect on how soon or how late your content can get indexed.

    You can also check for noindex tag here to rule out that your page isn’t getting indexed due to a mistake in plugin settings:

    If noindex is not present, then it is just a waiting game before Google decides to include the URL in the index. No SEO plugin can force Google to index something they don’t want to.

    With that said, we have found that barring any issues like copied/DMCA/low quality content issues – Google usually indexes posts within a week or two. So, we request you to kindly wait.

    Google even says that on their official website:

    The above screenshot was taken from this page:

    So, you have to be a bit patient and allow it some time. If your website isn’t indexed even after a week, you can place a manual indexing request here:
    https://support.google.com/webmasters/answer/9012289

    Finally, it all boils down to the quality of the content and if your content improves Google’s overall search index.

    Please check this article where one of the Google employees mentioned:

    “If your site relies on manual index submission for normal content, you need to significantly improve your site. Search console does not fix your site, you need to do that yourself.” – JohnMu

    With that said, here’s a good article on how to ensure that your website gets indexed regularly:
