        If you Care about the Search Console Error ONLY

        It just means Google has decided to index some URLs which do not appear in here: http://www.servicesarab.com/sitemap_index.xml

        so add them or don't, it really doesn't matter that much and it is extremely unlikely to change your SEO performance much at all

        If you are Really Concerned about SEO Performance

        personally I think that this is quite telling:

        https://analytics.moz.com/pro/link-explorer/spam-score?site=servicesarab.com&target=domain

        According to Moz, 45% of the domains in their index which share similar features to yours, have apparently been banned or penalised by Google (not really good)

        You site has (according to Ahrefs):

        https://ahrefs.com/site-explorer/overview/v2/subdomains/recent?target=servicesarab.com

        18,840 backlinks from 242 referring domains. That's a pretty crazy balance, not very diverse at all

        https://d.pr/i/0ROVCA.png (screenshot)

        It seems like end of 2017 / beginning of 2018, tons of links for the site were produced in a very artificial and obvious way

        In the end, old SEO tactics that try and trick Google into thinking your site is great, are not very useful in 2018/2019

        It's doubtful that there is a strong technical-SEO reason for the site's problems. It is more likely that Google is just restoring your site to 'where it should be' in the rankings

        It seems as if the usage of older SEO techniques tricked Google for a little while:

        https://d.pr/i/tsiXrh.png - but in the end, the unsustainable approach was not good enough

        • Our urls for adwords are slightly different from current urls presented on site (weused htaccess to help create shorter urls). How important is it that the adwords url match the sitemap url for keywords on those pages?
