Hello,
We apologize for the issue you are facing with your website not being indexed by Google News. It can be quite concerning when articles stop appearing in search results, especially when you rely on them for traffic.
There are several factors that could contribute to this issue:
-
Indexation Delay: Sometimes, it can take time for Google to index new content, especially if your site is new or if there have been changes in your posting frequency. However, since you mentioned that this has been ongoing for 10 days, it may not just be a simple delay.
-
Crawl Errors: You can monitor your site’s indexation status using the Google Search Console or the Index Status report in Rank Math’s Analytics. This will help you identify any errors that Google may have encountered while trying to crawl your site. To check this in Rank Math, navigate to Rank Math SEO → Analytics and click on the Index Status tab.

-
Robots.txt Configuration: Ensure that your robots.txt file is not blocking Google from crawling your site. You can use the robots.txt testing tool to verify this.
-
Content Quality: Make sure that the content you are publishing adheres to Google’s quality guidelines. Low-quality or duplicate content can lead to indexing issues.
-
Security Issues: If there are any security issues detected on your site, it could affect indexing. Check for any malware or vulnerabilities using the Security Issues report in Google Search Console.
If you have checked all these aspects and the problem persists, we recommend replying to this ticket with your website URL so that a human agent from our support team can assist you further. They will be able to provide more specific guidance based on your site’s configuration and current status.
Thank you for raising this concern, and we hope to help you resolve it soon!

Hello,
Thank you for getting in touch and I am extremely sorry about the trouble this might have caused.
There are a few things you must check for in order to see why the posts aren’t getting indexed.
1. Make sure the post is not selected as ‘noindex’ in WP > Posts > Your Post > Advanced Tab in Rank Math.
Screenshot for reference:

2. Ensure that the noindex is not selected for Global or Posts meta:

3. Check the sitemap settings and check if the posts are setup to be included in the sitemaps:

Please note that it is completely upto Google if they want to index or not index your website. So, if you haven’t willingly or accidentally made your posts noindex and Google still isn’t indexing your page – it means that either Google doesn’t want to index or hasn’t crawled your page yet because it hasn’t allocated that much crawl budget to your website.
Please check this website for more details.
Hope that helps and please do not hesitate to let us know if you need our assistance with anything else.
