    Hello, Rank Math Team!

    Thank you for providing this support forum.

    I write an article everyday. But, between 28 April until 2 May or now, my article not listed in the sitemap. Not only this, my article around for 2 weeks not indexed by Google.

    – Sitemap here: https://prnt.sc/s9nm8v
    – Not indexed by Google in past 24 hours: https://prnt.sc/s9nmt0

    What the problem? Thank you.

    Hi Habib,

    Thanks for getting in touch with us.

    Please note that it is completely normal for a newly published post/page to take time before it gets crawled or indexed by Google. It depends on a lot of factors and your posting frequency + the domain authority are just two of them. Google assigns a crawl budget to your website depending on these two factors and that has a direct affect 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:

    https://smallseotools.com/meta-tags-analyzer/

    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 so we request you to kindly wait. Google even says that on their official website:
    https://i.rankmath.com/QB4Dhl

    The above screenshot was taken from this page: https://support.google.com/webmasters/answer/7552505#missing-jobs

    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:

    Hope that helps and please do not hesitate to let us know if you need our assistance with anything else.

    Hello, thank you for awesome reply.

    But, the competitor was indexed normal by Google, not facing an issue like me. Is it normal for my website?

    If this is normal case and there is no problem, I hope this case can be closed.

    Thank you.

    Hello,

    If all that my colleague explained was checked by you and it is fine, there is no issue with your site and all that you should do is to wait some time. If your website isn’t indexed even after a week, you can place a manual indexing request here:

    Looking forward to help you.

    Thank you for the reply.

    I have already done this. This issue may be clear in the next ticket I write: Indexed, But Not Submitted on Sitemap.

    Thank you for support and I will close this ticket. *If there’s any update, I will update the ticket that I attached above* 🙂
