    Hello RankMath Support Team,

    I hope this message finds you well.

    I am experiencing an issue with my sitemap. The URLs within the sitemap are visible when I access the sitemap URL directly; however, they do not appear in Google Search Console. This issue has affected my website’s indexing and visibility in search results.

    I have verified that the sitemap is correctly formatted and accessible, but the URLs are still not showing up in the Search Console.

    Could you please assist me in resolving this issue?

    Thank you for your support.

  • 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.

    Could you please share the screenshot of the sitemaps section of your Google Search Console so we can check?

    Meanwhile, you may try removing all your submitted sitemaps and resubmitting your main sitemap only.

    Here’s a guide you can follow:

    Looking forward to helping you.

    Hello,

    From the screenshots you shared we can see that Google Search Console successfully processed your sitemap and even discovered 1197 pages.

    Please note that a sitemap is only one of many ways Google discovers the URLs of your site. If Google discovers the URLs through other means, it may not cross-reference your sitemap to check if the URL is there. Google actually prioritizes discovering your URLs through internal linking.

    Ranking on Google depends on so much more than just your on-page optimization. You could search for your keyword or post title, or have the perfect article and still struggle to break the top 10 results when searching on Google, especially for highly competitive keywords.

    Here are some of the factors Google considers when ranking your website.

    1. Your website’s authority
    2. Your content’s quality and how better it is than the other article currently ranking.
    3. How competitive the keyword you are using is.
    4. How many backlinks you have and if they are better than what the other websites ranking for that keyword have.
    5. Your website’s crawlability.
    6. Frequency of new content and content updates.
    7. So much more that there is a dedicated blog post on it by Brian Dean 🙂 https://backlinko.com/google-ranking-factors

    We recommend that you keep at it and work on breaking into the top SERPs. Here are a few resources you will find useful while devising an SEO strategy.
