    There is no coverage issues reported. I checked that.

    I also deleted and readd the my siteap https://virginsound.com.ng/sitemap_index.xml, all to no better result.

    Hello,

    I searched a recent post on your website, which is also shown on your homepage, and it is already indexed on Google. You can follow the link in the sensitive data section of this ticket to check the search results.

    If by not showing, you mean not ranking, then ranking on Google depends on so much more than your on-page optimization. You could have the perfect article and still struggle to break the top 10 in SERPs. Here are some of the factors Google considers when ranking you: https://backlinko.com/google-ranking-factors

    Along with working on the on-page optimizations, I suggest you also work on the points mentioned in the above article to increase your chances of getting ranked higher.

    Hope this helps.

    Thank you.

    Yes… They are indexed and appear once I search with site:url of my website. But once I search generally I won’t find my post on google search from the first page till the end.

    Hello,

    In that case, you just need to further optimize the post and also work on some Off-page SEO to further increase your chances of getting ranked higher:

    Thank you.

    The issue is that I was having good traffic before it drastically dropped few days back… Attached is the jetpack stat of my website in the sensitive section.

    Hello,

    Since the sitemap was recognized by Google again and there are no issues reported from your GSC, then this could be just due to Google’s searching algorithm updates that affected your site. You may observe after a couple of days or weeks if your traffic goes back to normal.

    Looking forward to helping you on this one.
