Hello,
I’m sorry to hear about the issues you are facing with your sitemap not being read and the fluctuations in your Google impressions. I understand how important it is to have your posts indexed promptly and maintain consistent traffic levels.
To address the sitemap not being read, it’s crucial to ensure that Google has crawled and updated your sitemap recently. If the last crawl date is not after you published the post, Google might not have seen the updated sitemap yet. In this case, it’s recommended to be patient and wait for Google to crawl the sitemap. However, if you prefer not to wait, you can try removing the sitemap from the Google Search Console and then re-adding it.
Here are the steps you can follow:
- Go to Google Search Console.
- Click on your sitemap (e.g.,
post-sitemap1.xml
).
- Check the last crawl date.
- If needed, remove the sitemap by clicking on the three dots in the top-right corner and selecting Remove sitemap.
- Re-add the sitemap by entering the sitemap URL and clicking SUBMIT.
If you continue to experience issues with your sitemap, you can also check for any unsupported file format errors or other issues that may prevent Google from reading your sitemap properly.
Regarding the fluctuations in your Google impressions and indexing delays, it’s essential to consider various factors such as algorithm updates, content quality, and website performance. Changes in Google’s algorithms can impact search rankings and traffic levels.
