Website content is not getting cited by AI Overviews

Hello,

We apologize for the issues you are facing with the AI Overviews and the sitemap on your website. Thank you for bringing this to our attention.

For AI Overviews Not Citing Content:

1. Check Configuration: Ensure that the LLMS (Learning Management System) is correctly configured in the Rank Math plugin. You can revisit the settings to confirm everything is set up properly.
2. Content Indexing: Make sure that your posts are set to index. You can do this by going to Rank Math SEO → Titles & Meta and ensuring that the Index checkbox is enabled for your posts.
   
3. Refresh Content AI Credits: If you haven’t already, try refreshing your Content AI credits by navigating to WordPress Dashboard → Rank Math → General Settings → Content AI and clicking on refresh.
   

For Sitemap Issues:

1. Validate Your Sitemap: Use the Validate XML Sitemap tool to check if your sitemap is correctly configured. Enter your sitemap URL and click VALIDATE SITEMAP.
   
2. Ensure Sitemap Location: Make sure your sitemap is located in the root folder of your WordPress installation. The URL should look like this: `https://i.rankmath.com/eCONSp+.
3. Check Google Search Console: If you are still encountering a "couldn’t fetch" error, ensure that you have added the correct sitemap URL in Google Search Console under Indexing → Sitemaps. If necessary, add a forward slash before the sitemap URL and click SUBMIT.
   

If these steps do not resolve your issues, please reply to this ticket with any additional details, and a human agent from our support team will assist you further.

We hope this helps! Please let us know if you have any other questions or need further assistance.

Hello,

Thank you for contacting Rank Math support.

Your site’s llms.txt file is returning a 404 error. We might need to take a closer look at the settings. Please edit the first post on this ticket and include your WordPress & FTP logins in the designated Sensitive Data section.

Please do take a complete backup of your website before sharing the information with us.

It is completely secure and only our support staff has access to that section. If you want, you can use the below plugin to generate a temporary login URL to your website and share that with us instead:
