Hello,
We apologize for the issue you are facing with your sitemap and the indexing of your pages. Here are a few things to consider regarding your concerns:
Pages Not Added to Sitemap
- Check for Errors: Ensure there are no errors in the pages that are not being added to the sitemap. Sometimes, issues like duplicate content or low-quality pages can prevent them from being included.
- Sitemap Settings: Review your Rank Math settings to ensure that all desired post types and taxonomies are included in the sitemap. You can find these settings under Rank Math > Sitemap Settings.
- Manual Submission: If certain pages are still not appearing, you might want to manually submit your sitemap to Google Search Console to ensure it is recognized.
Pages Not Indexed by Google
- Discovered – Currently Not Indexed: If some pages are marked as "discovered – currently not indexed," it could be due to several reasons:
- Content Quality: Google prioritizes valuable and informative content. Ensure your pages have unique and high-quality content.
- Crawl Budget Issues: If your site has many low-quality pages, it may affect the crawl budget, causing important pages to be deprioritized. Consider improving your internal linking structure to help Google discover these pages better.
- Canonical Tags: Check if there are any duplicate pages and use canonical tags to point to the original content you want indexed.
- Noindex Tags: Ensure that you haven’t accidentally set any of your important pages to "noindex".
For more detailed guidance, you can refer to our articles on Discovered – Currently Not Indexed and Crawled – Currently Not Indexed.
