    Hello,

    I’ve got an issue with pages on my website.
    I’ve created a sitemap for filtered pages on my website because I wrote SEO content on them but the sitemap isn’t recognized by Google on the Search Console. Here is the sitemap : https://www.grim-occasion.com/brand-sitemap.xml
    Those pages doesn’t seem indexed on Google and I want to know why. It’s very problematic for my SEO.
    Thanks for your response,
    Best regards,
    Caroline

  • Hello,

    Thank you for contacting Rank Math. We appreciate your patience and we’re sorry for any trouble you may have faced with your sitemap.

    To help us troubleshoot this issue, can you please check if the sitemap is not showing in Google Search Console or if it is showing an error? You can do this by going to Google Search Console and logging in to your account. Then, select your website from the property list and go to Sitemaps on the left menu. You should see a list of your submitted sitemaps and their status.

    • If the sitemap is not showing, we’d suggest you add it manually. To do this, go to your sitemaps page and click on Add/Test Sitemap at the top right corner. Then, enter https://www.grim-occasion.com/brand-sitemap.xml in the text box and click on Submit. This will tell Google to crawl and index your sitemap.
    • If the sitemap is showing an error, please share the error with us. You can do this by clicking on the sitemap in the list and taking a screenshot of the error message. You can attach the screenshot to your reply or use a service like https://imgur.com/upload to share it with us.

    You can find more information about how to submit your sitemap to Google Search Console here: https://rankmath.com/kb/submit-sitemap-to-google/

    We hope these instructions are clear and easy to follow. If you have any difficulty or questions, please let us know. We’re here to help you.

    Thank you for using Rank Math as your SEO solution.

    Hello,

    Your sitemap at the moment contains only relative links to the brand pages on your website and the guidelines state that the sitemaps should include full URLs, much like you see from the sitemaps our plugin generated.

    If you go to the automatically-generated page sitemap you’ll see that all URLs are fully qualified and include the domain name as well as the slug of the pages. The same needs to be followed for the brands’ sitemap.

    After making the necessary changes you can submit the sitemap once again to Google and wait for it to crawl it and see the updated results.

    Don’t hesitate to get in touch if you have any other questions.
