Hello,
I apologize for the issue you are facing with your websites not being indexed in the sitemap. It’s great to hear that you are using Rank Math for your sitemap, and it’s normal for new websites to take some time before all pages are indexed by Google.
Here are some steps you can take to improve the indexing of your pages:
-
Submit Your Sitemap: Ensure that you have submitted your sitemap to Google Search Console. Rank Math automatically generates a Sitemap Index for your website, which can be found at https://yourdomainname/sitemap_index.xml. Submitting this URL helps Google find and crawl all the pages on your site more efficiently.
-
Use Instant Indexing: If you are a Rank Math PRO user, you can utilize the Instant Indexing feature. This allows you to submit URLs directly to IndexNow-enabled search engines, which can help speed up the indexing process for your new content. You can find more information on how to use this feature in our Instant Indexing guide.
-
Regularly Update Content: Since you plan to publish 4-5 blogs weekly, maintaining a consistent posting schedule can help Google recognize your site as active, which may improve your crawl budget and indexing speed.
-
Check for Crawl Budget Issues: If you have many pages, ensure that your internal linking structure is strong. This helps Google discover all your pages. Avoid having orphan pages (pages without internal links) as they may not get crawled effectively.
-
Monitor Google Search Console: Keep an eye on the coverage report in Google Search Console to see if there are any issues with indexing or if any pages are marked as "Discovered – Currently Not Indexed." This can provide insights into what might be affecting your indexing.
If you continue to experience issues or need a more tailored setup, we recommend considering our professional setup service available at Rank Math Services. This service is designed for users who want to ensure their plugin setup is fully correct and adheres to the latest SEO standards.

Hello,
Thank you for your query and we are so sorry about the trouble this must have caused.
It seems that Rank Math’s robots meta isn’t applied in your website and other important meta tags. Can you please confirm if Rank Math is currently uninstalled in your website?
To fix the sitemap, please follow the steps below:
1. Flush the Sitemap cache by following this video screencast:

2. Exclude the Sitemap files of the Rank Math plugin in your caching plugin. The cache could be via a plugin or from the server. For plugins or Cloudflare, please follow this article:

3. Apply the following filter code to your site.
add_filter( 'rank_math/sitemap/enable_caching', '__return_false');
Here’s how you can add filter to your WordPress site:https://rankmath.com/kb/wordpress-hooks-actions-filters/
4. Remove all your sitemaps from your Google Search Console and re-submit only the index sitemap (https://website.com/sitemap_index.xml).
Looking forward to helping you.
