Search Console: When sitemap index shows 0

说明与用途

作者发现 Google Search Console 的 sitemap 面板中的“已索引”计数可能滞后于实际索引。通过使用 URL 检查工具并同时提交 sitemap.xml 和 rss 提要，确认页面已被索引，并加速新内容的索引。

问题

The Search Console sitemap screen displayed "Submitted: 52" and "Indexed: 0" despite successful sitemap submissions, causing confusion about actual indexing status.

结果

The author learned that the sitemap dashboard’s indexed count is an indirect indicator and can lag behind actual indexing. By using URL Inspection and submitting both sitemap.xml and rss feeds, pages were confirmed indexed and new posts were indexed faster.

工作流

• Submit sitemap.xml and rss feeds in Search Console
• Verify API sitemaps().list() returns 200 OK
• Use URL Inspection tool to check individual URLs
• If needed, use Request Indexing button (max 10 per day)
• Repeat dual sitemap submission for new content

证据

For several weeks, my sitemaps screen displayed "Submitted: 52" and "Indexed: 0".

The results showed 55 items for sitemap.xml and 11 for rss, both returning HTTP 200 status codes.

When I did this for my posts at /8, /18, and /44, the result was clearly "URL is on Google" or "Submitted and indexed."

Google explicitly warns that "submitting multiple times does not change priority," so there is no point in spamming the button.
