Hi there,
Thank you for reaching out to Rank Math support. We are sorry to hear that you are facing some issues with your site’s indexing and ranking. We are here to help you understand and resolve them.
First of all, we want to assure you that Google is indexing more than just your homepage. We did a quick check on Google and found that they have indexed about 20 of your pages, which is great! You can see the screenshot of our search in the sensitive data section below.
However, we understand that you may be wondering why Google is showing your homepage for some of the keywords that you are searching. The reason for this is that Google’s algorithm tries to match the best page for the user’s search intent. Sometimes, Google may think that your homepage is more relevant or authoritative than your other pages for a certain query. This depends on many factors, such as the quality and freshness of your content, the number and quality of your backlinks, the user behavior on your site, and so on. You can learn more about how Google ranks pages here: https://developers.google.com/search/docs/beginner/how-search-works
Secondly, we want to explain why Search Console is showing 0 pages discovered for your sitemap. This does not mean that Google is ignoring your sitemap or that your pages are not being indexed. It simply means that Google has already found your pages 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. You can read more about this issue here: https://rankmath.com/kb/zero-discovered-urls-through-sitemap/
Thirdly, we want to address why you are not seeing all of your 16 blog posts in the search results. As we mentioned earlier, Google is indexing your posts, but it may not show them for every keyword that you are targeting. This is because Google has to choose from millions of pages that are relevant for a given query, and it uses its algorithm to rank them based on various factors. You can use the site:example.com operator to see all of your pages that Google has indexed, but this does not guarantee that they will rank well for every query. To improve your ranking, you need to optimize your content and site for SEO best practices, such as using relevant keywords, writing engaging titles and meta descriptions, adding internal and external links, improving your site speed and mobile-friendliness, and so on. You can use Rank Math’s tools and features to help you with these tasks.
Lastly, we want to clarify why you are seeing the message “No referring sitemaps detected” for some of your pages in Search Console. This is similar to the second point above. It means that Google has discovered that page from a different unreported source than your sitemap. 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.
We hope this helps you understand what is going on with your site and how you can improve it. If you have any questions or concerns, please feel free to contact us again. We are always happy to help.
Thank you for choosing Rank Math!
