    Rank Math free

    Hi there,

    On my sitemap.xml page, I do see that Rankmath has a number for how many images are on the post itself.

    But how exactly does this help Google when there are no links to the images in the sitemap?

    I’d imagine there would be links to the images so Google would have an easier time indexing the images?

    Can you please explain this to me?

    Thank you very much in advance!

    Very best,
    Benjamin

    Hello,

    I’m sorry for the confusion. The number of images on the post in the sitemap.xml page is indeed helpful for Google, even if there are no direct links to the images in the sitemap.

    When Google crawls your sitemap and sees the number of images on a post, it can use that information to understand the media-rich content on your website. This can help Google better understand the context and relevance of your posts, which can indirectly impact your search engine rankings.

    While direct links to the images in the sitemap can be helpful, Google can still use the image count to gain insights into your content. However, if you’d like to include direct links to the images in the sitemap, you can consider enabling the Image Sitemap feature in Rank Math.

    If you have any further questions or need additional assistance, please feel free to ask.

    Best regards.
