  • Hello,

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

    The “no referring sitemap detected” means the page has been discovered by Google, and Google knows about it.

    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.

    Regarding the indexing issue, can you please share some of your posts’ URLs so that we can check the issue further for you?

    Looking forward to helping you.

    Thank you.

    Hello,

    Upon checking the website’s robots.txt and the sitemap URL we were able to conclude that thay are accurate and working as expected.

    Please refer to the screenshot from the XML Sitemap Validator Tool

    We checked your website URL and we were able to see that the pages are getting indexed by Google as intended.

    Hello,

    Thank you providing additional information.

    google search console says “URL is not on Google”.but on the other hand my urls are indexing and ranking in google search results….how it is happening ?

    According to the sitemap, there’s a total of 7 pages, and, in Google it’s listed around 10 pages as shown by my colleague above. Regarding, why “URL in not on Google” error, would you try URL inspection to see what error it gives. If any error shows, please share the screenshot with us. You can use tools like https://imgur.com/ to share screenshot with us.

    google analytics says….my urls are getting clicks…but google search console says….no clicks…

    In GSC are you monitoring the right prefix? i.e. if your site resides at say https:// is that the property you are looking at?

    Looking forward to helping you.

    Thank you

    Hello,

    In this case, this could be just a delayed indexing. It’s possible that the GSC has not yet updated its data to reflect the latest indexing status of the URL. Google indexes web pages continuously, but there can be delays in updating the information in GSC. You may want to wait for some time and check again to see if the GSC data gets updated.

    The same goes for Google Search Console and Analytics data. Please check your Google Analytics if you are able to see a data stream of the GA tracker you have added to the website.

    Lastly, we would like to check on how you have added your property to your Google Search Console. Please ensure that you’re using a URL prefix. Also, double-check that the correct and final version of your website is configured on Google Search Console (i.e http/https and www/non-www).

    Having the right URL in the Google Search Console can give you more accurate data so I suggest you check on that first.

    You may share some screenshots of what you see from your end, this will help us address your issue further.

    Looking forward to helping you.

    Hello,

    From your screenshot and the URLs you have previously shared, you are inspecting the URL with hashtag #.

    Please note that Search Engines ignore the text after the hashtag in the URLs. Here’s an article you can check as well:
    https://www.infidigit.com/news/does-google-crawl-urls-with-hashtags/

    You’ll also notice that the page is already indexed upon using the site: operator

    site

    So, you’ll just need to inspect the actual URLs in your sitemap as that will always return an error upon inspecting them with hashtags.

    Hope that clears the confusion.

    Thank you.
