Dear RankMath Support Team,
I hope this message finds you well.
I’m experiencing a problem with the indexing of two websites: poliambulatorionuovaequipe.it and cgvarese.it. Despite setting up RankMath correctly on both sites and submitting the sitemaps to Google Search Console, the sites are not appearing in Google search results when I search for their names directly.
According to Google Search Console, the pages are marked as indexed, but they are still not visible in the search engine results, which is unusual. I suspect there might have been an issue when initially connecting the RankMath plugin.
In particular, I realized that poliambulatorionuovaequipe.it was mistakenly connected to the same RankMath account as cgvarese.it. I have since corrected this and connected each site to its respective account. However, I’m unsure whether this previous configuration caused any indexing or visibility issues.
Interestingly, all other websites I’ve connected to RankMath are properly indexed and show up on Google without issues, so this problem seems isolated to the two mentioned sites.
Could you please check if there is any misconfiguration on the RankMath side or suggest any steps I can take to resolve this problem?
Thank you in advance for your support.
Best regards,
Matteo

Hello,
We apologize for the issue you are facing with the indexing of your websites, poliambulatorionuovaequipe.it and cgvarese.it. Thank you for providing detailed information about the situation.
Since you mentioned that both sites are marked as indexed in Google Search Console but are not appearing in search results, there are a few things we can check:
-
Check for Penalties: Ensure that neither of your websites has been penalized by Google. You can do this by searching for your website on Google. If you don’t see it in the results, it may be penalized.
-
Crawl Budget Issues: If your sites have a lot of low-quality pages, it might affect how often Google crawls your valuable pages. Make sure to have a good internal linking structure to enhance crawlability.
-
Content Duplication: Check if there are any duplicate content issues on your sites. If so, consider adding canonical URLs to point to the original content you want indexed.
-
Search Engine Visibility: Ensure that the Search engine visibility option is unchecked in your WordPress settings. You can find this under Settings → Reading in your WordPress admin dashboard. If this option is checked, it may prevent search engines from indexing your site.
-
Monitor Indexation Status: Use the Index Status report in Rank Math’s Analytics to identify any issues with your pages. Navigate to Rank Math SEO → Analytics and click on the Index Status tab to see the real data/status of your pages.
-
Instant Indexing: If you are a Rank Math PRO user, consider using the Instant Indexing feature to submit your URLs directly to search engines, which can help speed up the indexing process.
If after checking these points you still face issues, please reply to this ticket with any specific error messages or additional details, and a human agent from our support team will assist you further.
Thank you for raising this concern, and we look forward to helping you resolve it!

How to Fix Submitted URL Marked ‘NoIndex’ Error » Rank MathHello,
Thank you for your query and we are so sorry about the trouble this must have caused.
We’ve checked both websites, and we can confirm that they are indexed on Google. So this isn’t an issue with the Rank Math connection.
See screenshots:
If your sites aren’t appearing when searching for their names, it’s likely due to content not being well-optimized for those specific queries. We recommend reviewing your homepage titles, meta descriptions, and on-page content to ensure they clearly reflect your brand name and are optimized accordingly.
Please note that ranking on Google depends on so much more than just your on-page optimization. You could have the perfect article and still struggle to break the top 10 in SERPs. Here are some of the factors Google considers when ranking you:
1. Your website’s authority
2. Your content’s quality and how better it is than the other article currently ranking.
3. How competitive the keyword is.
4. How many backlinks you have and if they are better than what the other guys ranking for that keyword have.
5. Your website’s crawlability.
6. Frequency of new content and content updates.
7. So much more that there is a dedicated blog post on it by Brian Dean 🙂 https://backlinko.com/google-ranking-factorsLastly, Google brings a new algorithmic update several times a month and the chances are great that your website got hit by that.
We have a full guide on that: https://rankmath.com/blog/google-algorithm-update-recovery/
And if you are using Rank Math PRO, you can even see if the drop in traffic co-relates to an algorithm update. Here’s how:
