Resolving "No Referring Sitemaps Detected" Issue in Google Search Console 

If you've ever been stuck with the "No Referring Sitemaps Detected" issue on Google Search Console, you're not alone. Some folks wait it out, hoping it'll fix itself, while others want to tackle it head-on. In this guide, we'll break down why this happens and how to solve it step by step.

Understanding the Problem:
Before we jump into solutions, it's important to know what's causing the problem. Essentially, it boils down to Google not being able to find the URL you're trying to get indexed. This happens when the page isn't being fetched from an internal link or a sitemap. Let's look at why this might be and how to fix it.

Solving the No Referring Sitemaps Detected:

1- URL Mix-Up:
    One big reason for this headache is the URL itself. Sometimes, when creating sitemap files, people forget to check if the URLs end with a slash("/")or not. To sort this out:

•     Solution: Double-check the URLs in your sitemap. Make sure they match the format you want, then ask for index,  like this:

2- Fetching Problems:
    Even if the URL looks right in the sitemap, Google might still miss it because it hasn't been fetched. To get around this:

•     Solution: Try a quick fetch using Google Search Console's Live URL Test. This tells Google to go grab the page so it can see it in the sitemap. Here's how:
         Click on "Test Live URL" to start the fetch.
          Once the page is fetched, ask Google to index it.

once you do the Test Live, you will have to see this report which telling you thepage fetchis successful
