Posts(URL) are indexed but not showing in search resultS

Hello,

Thank you for contacting us and sorry for any inconvenience that might have been caused due to that.

We’ve checked your website on Google with the site: operator and we can see that about 188 results are coming from your website. Please check the screenshot in the sensitive data section for your reference.

However, if your posts are not ranking on Google then please note that ranking for keywords on Google depends on so much more than just 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:

1. Your website’s authority
2. Your content’s quality and how better it is than the other article currently ranking.
3. How competitive the keyword is.
4. How many backlinks you have and if they are better than what the other guys ranking for that keyword have.
5. Your website’s crawlability.
6. Frequency of new content and content updates.
7. So much more that there is a dedicated blog post on it by Brian Dean 🙂 https://backlinko.com/google-ranking-factors

I would recommend that you keep at it and work on acquiring more links to break into the top SERPs. Here are a few resources I think you will find useful while devising an SEO strategy.

Regarding the “no referring sitemap detected”, it means the pages have been discovered, and Google knows about them.

Please note that a sitemap is only one of many ways Google discovers the URLs of your site. If Google discovers the URL through other means, it may not cross-reference your sitemap to check if the URL is there. Hence the “No referring sitemaps” message.

Please don’t hesitate to let us know if you have any other questions.

Thank you.
