Yoast Doesn’t Ping Google

    I’m using Yoast from my site’s early days. However, I have this problem.

    Whenever I post an article, ideally Yoast should ping Google for updated sitemap. It doesn’t. For days Google doesn’t know that my sitemap is updated. As my site is news related site where updating of sitemap on Google quickly is very important, pinging Google is an extremely important feature for me and Yoast doesn’t do that. Whenever I search my article url in Google search console. It shows that Google still doesn’t know about it. I have to always manually ping Google with this link for Google to know about it:

    https://www.google.com/ping?sitemap=https://web-site.com/sitemap_index.xml

    It’s only when I use the above link manually that Google Search console identifies my article and then later indexes it. Ideally Yoast should ping Google by itself but it’s not doing so.

    Hello @elsoar

    Thanks for reaching out; I’ve identified two issues and addressed both below:

    Sitemap Update
    The Yoast-generated XML sitemap is automatically updated as you add, remove, or change your content. Can you share a post you recently wrote that’s not in the sitemap?

    Google Search Results
    When you publish a post and it’s included in the sitemap. If such a post doesn’t show up in search results, there might be other reasons. Can you share an affected URL?

    We look forward to hearing from you.
