Hello,
Thank you for reaching out about the issue you are facing with your sitemap not being indexed by Google Search Console. I understand that Google Search Console requires the sitemap URL to include “www” in the domain, but Rank Math only outputs the sitemap URL without “www.”
To address this issue, you can manually add the “www” to your sitemap URL in Google Search Console. Here’s how you can do it:
- Sign in to your Google Search Console account.
- Navigate to the Sitemaps section.
- Enter the full sitemap URL with “www” in the “Add a new sitemap” field. For example, if your sitemap URL is https://rankmath.com/kb/google-site-verification/ you can enter https://rankmath.com/kb/google-site-verification/
- Click on Submit to add the sitemap with the “www” to Google Search Console.
By manually adding the “www” to your sitemap URL in Google Search Console, you should be able to submit and index your sitemap successfully.
If you encounter any further issues or need additional assistance, please feel free to reach out. We are here to help.
Thank you for your understanding and patience.

Method does not work , The problem lies in Rankmath settings. Rankmath attributes a URL to sitemap that does not contain www in URL yet Google requires a www prefix in submitted URLs .
My fault . It was in google search console ,I had opened one of my property’s that was a URL with out the www and google listed it in URL submit without the www in the URL
Thank You anyways
