Problem: The client is experiencing issues with their website's indexing on Google. Their website's pages are only being shown in English, and they have lost all indexing in their default language, which is Italian. The client suspects that WPML is negatively affecting their website's indexing.
Solution: If you're experiencing similar indexing issues, we recommend checking your sitemap, which is generated by Rank Math SEO, to ensure that your website's content is properly indexed in all languages. You should also upload your sitemap to Google Search Console. We have verified that the content on the client's website appears to be properly indexed. It's important to note that search results can vary due to Google's ranking algorithm, which takes into account factors such as browser language, location, and internet behavior. WPML SEO allows other plugins, like Rank Math SEO, to understand the language structure of your website and index the content correctly on your sitemap. Therefore, checking the sitemap is a good way to determine if WPML SEO is functioning as intended.
