    Guys,

    I need help.

    I have been having a lot of difficulty with GSC and it has to do with Rank Math. I have watched several of your vids/guides to try to configure everything properly but i am falling short. (possible user errors on my part?)

    Currently getting lots of indexing errors (Redirect errors) saying “No referring sitemaps detected” and other errors that i can’t seem to fix?

    https://search.google.com/search-console/index?resource_id=sc-domain%3Avirtworx.com

    Can someone please review my settings to see what i am doing wrong? I have provided user credentials for your team to check the back-end of my site.

    Thanks,

    TJ

    Hello,

    We apologize for the inconvenience you’re experiencing with Google Search Console and Rank Math. We understand that dealing with indexing errors can be frustrating, but we’re here to help.

    To address the “Redirect errors” and “Page w/ redirect” issues, we recommend checking your Redirection Manager in Rank Math. You can use this feature to redirect visitors to the correct URL and improve user experience.

    Additionally, you can use the Index Status report in Rank Math’s Analytics to identify the pages with the problem. Navigate to Rank Math SEO → Analytics in your WordPress dashboard and click on the Index Status tab. Under this tab, you’ll get the real data/status of your pages as well as their presence on Google.

    Index tab

    Moreover, you can filter the post’s index status using the drop-down menu. When you select a specific status, say “Page w/ redirect”, you’ll be able to see all posts that share the same index status.

    Once you have the list of pages that are returning this status, you can start to troubleshoot and fix the issue.

    If you’re still facing difficulties after following these steps, please reply to this ticket, and a human agent from the Rank Math Support team will assist you further.

    We appreciate your patience and understanding as we work to resolve this issue for you.

    Kind regards.

    Hello,

    Thank you for contacting Rank Math support, and sorry for the inconvenience this may have caused.

    The “no referring sitemap detected” means the page has been discovered by Google, and Google knows about it but it was not discovered through a sitemap.

    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. This is not a problem or an error, it is just an informational message. It does not affect your indexing or ranking in any way.

    Meanwhile, please share the other errors you have in the GSC so we can check further for you.

    Looking forward to helping you.

    Thank you.

    Hi Adetayo,

    Thanks for your response.

    Were you able to check my RankMath settings in the backend of WP? Did i set it up correctly?

    Also – i am noticing additional errors in GSC such as:

    -Page with redirect
    -Alternate page with proper canonical tag
    -Not found (404)
    -Excluded by “noindex” tag
    -Crawled – currently not indexed
    -Discovered – currently not indexed

    What’s the best way to handle these errors or can i just ignore them?

    All i am trying to do is just produce quality, helpful content daily that gets indexed by google. I just want to make sure i am not missing anything with RankMath to make sure my site has best chance for indexing & visibility.

    Thanks!
