Why Google Cannot Fetch Sitemaps?

Site Map Cannot Fetch Google

In Google Search Console or google webmaster there is a menu to add the sitemap you want. This sitemap can be added so that the google robot or bot can crawl (crawl) your web or blog easily and quickly.

As a result, the content that you just created will be indexed by Google. By having clearer coverage of the content of your website or blog if you have this sitemap.

How do sitemaps work on a blog?

The sitemap that is added to the console is in the .xml format where there is information about a web page that appears in the form of a URL in the title that was just added to the web or blog, the time (time (time, date, year) the content was published and when you last made changes to the content. When it has been added to the console, any changes that occur to the blog will be read by Google as a report that is displayed on the console.

How to Add a Sitemap on Blogger

There are three types of standard sitemaps that are usually added to the console, namely Atom, RSS, and the sitemap itself. Apart from those mentioned earlier, it is only SEO experts who do it and must be careful in choosing good references instead of falling into tutorial steps that have not been further understood. Here are the steps for adding a query behind the main URL of your site.

https://xxx/sitemap.xml
https://xxx/rss.xml
https://xxx/atom.xml

Replace xxx with your site's address, it needs to be underlined, and remember the writing of HTTPS or non-HTTPS, slashes (/), capital, and small letters must match above so that the address can be read by Google. Do a test or check on the search bar in the browser whether the information appears or not. If not then there are other factors the Google search engine cannot pick up on. Here are the causes and factors that influence when adding a sitemap.

The factors that caused the sitemap cannot be retrieved

1. Not yet verified site ownership

Verifying site ownership is intended for service access rights on the google search console. If access to the web or blog has not been approved or done correctly, some console features will not work and will always result in an error (invalid). Log in to the account that is directly connected between your blog and your email then register and verify site ownership. Install the verification code from the google console into the template structure just below the <head> tag. And if you frequently change templates, chances are that the verification is lost and needs to be redone.

2. Sitemap is not recognized by Bot

Actually, there are many references provided by SEO experts to add them according to them. However, some of them may not comply with the applicable rules and regulations so that they do not work. The mixture seems like it can't be justified for its correctness, so don't choose the wrong tutorial. And always check whether the sitemap writing can be added to your blog address

3. Website address changed

Website addresses, especially when switching from domain to subdomain, need to change the writing of the sitemap that has been added to the console. Usually, this is done when you rent a domain with a certain level, for example, .com, .net, .id, and so on, causing the address settings to switch to a new domain. Likewise with the www extension setting. and without www will cause the URL to change. It is necessary to write an appropriate address that can be crawled (crawled) at that time.

4. The site you just added

If the sitemap has just been added before, it will take Google a few days to check until the status changes valid (successful), usually between 2-3 days, then wait until the Google bot finishes crawling. But if it's not valid, then do a manual check on the browser address bar whether it can appear or not in search.
