SEO sitemap

Hello,

Thank you for reaching out to us. The “No referring sitemaps detected” message in Google Search Console does not indicate an error and is nothing to worry about. This message simply means that Google discovered your URL through means other than the sitemap, such as backlinks.

To ensure that Google has indexed your URL, you can type in site: followed by the post or page URL into your address bar and press Enter on your keyboard. If the content displays in search results, it means it has already been crawled and indexed by Google.

If the content does not display in search results, you should return to Google Search Console and click REQUEST INDEXING.

If you have any further questions, feel free to contact our dedicated support team. We’re available 24/7, 365 days a year.

Hello,

Thank you for contacting Rank Math support and we apologize for the inconvenience.

When you see this error on a page, it usually means that Google has already found your page from another source, such as a link from another site or a social media post. Your sitemap is just one of the ways that Google can discover your pages, but it is not the only one. As long as your pages are being indexed, you don’t need to worry about how they are discovered. Your sitemap is still useful because it helps Google find your new or updated content faster.

Thank you for choosing Rank Math.
