Hi, I’m using Rank Math on my site https://mifonesepportal.com.mx, and although everything seems properly configured (sitemap submitted, meta tags in place, indexing allowed), many important pages are still not getting indexed by Google. In Search Console, they appear as “Discovered – currently not indexed.” The SEO analysis in Rank Math shows no major issues. Is there something specific in Rank Math settings that could be causing this? Any guidance would be helpful.

Hello,
I apologize for the issue you are facing with your pages not getting indexed. The "Discovered – currently not indexed" status in Google Search Console can be caused by several factors, even if your Rank Math setup appears correct. Here are some steps you can take to troubleshoot and potentially resolve this issue:
-
Check Robots.txt File: Ensure that your robots.txt file is not blocking Google from crawling your pages. You can check this in Rank Math by going to WordPress Dashboard → Rank Math SEO → General Settings → Edit robots.txt. Make sure there are no disallow rules that could prevent indexing.
-
Internal Linking: A poor internal link structure can hinder indexing. Ensure that your important pages are linked from other relevant pages on your site. Rank Math can help you identify pages that lack internal links.
-
Content Quality: Google may not index pages with thin or duplicate content. Ensure that your pages provide significant value and are unique.
-
Crawl Budget Issues: If your site has many low-quality pages, it might affect the crawl budget, causing important pages to be overlooked. Focus on improving the quality of your content and internal linking.
-
Patience for New Sites: If your website is relatively new, it may take time for Google to index all pages.
-
Use Instant Indexing: If you have a Rank Math PRO subscription, consider using the Instant Indexing feature to submit URLs directly to search engines, which can help speed up the indexing process.
