Excluded by ‘noindex’ tag

    Hi everyone, hope you are well today.

    We have a lot of pages that have the “Excluded by ‘noindex’ tag” and other with “Submitted URL marked ‘noindex’”

    I have been through the ideas posted on your help page but have had no luck.
    https://rankmath.com/kb/error-submitted-url-marked-noindex/

    I have requested indexing for some of the pages and when I “Test Live Url” everything seems fine and the pages are now being validated.

    Just wondering what has caused this problem and how we can prevent it in the future. Is it some problem with Rankmath or a separate issue.

    Thank you for any help you can give with this, it’s appreciated.

    Regards
    Ian

    I should add that nowhere on the various pages is there a meta tag with noindex and the Rankmath settings are to index for each page.

    Thanks

    Hello,

    Thanks for contacting us and sorry for any inconvenience that might have been caused due to that.

    If all the settings are fine then you just need to wait for Google to crawl and index those pages. Google must have found a noindex meta tag the last time they crawled the affected pages.

    If the issue persists then you can share the affected URLs in the sensitive data section.

    We really look forward to helping you.

    Hi,

    Googlw has yet to come back with recent pages that have been resubmitted but I have had a look at some other pages. If you could take a look that would be great.

    Some of out posts are being thrown as errors and not indexed by Google. They are showing “noindex” tags.
    For example:

    but in the Rank Math settings for the post the Advanced -> Robots meta setting is “Index”

    For example this page:
    https://joinbubble.com/our-brilliant-sitters/meet-the-sitter-episode-2_746.html

    Could you help out with this please?
    Regards
    Ian

    Hello,

    I checked the post you shared and it is set to Index and listed in the sitemaps:

    Also, the post is already indexed on Google:

    Please follow the below steps and see if that fixes the issue:
    1. Flush the Sitemap cache by following this video screencast:
    https://i.rankmath.com/pipRDp

    2. Exclude the Sitemap files of the Rank Math plugin in your caching plugin. The cache could be via a plugin or from the server. For plugins or Cloudflare, please follow this article:
    https://rankmath.com/kb/exclude-sitemaps-from-caching/

    3. Clear your website’s cache and remove all the sitemaps from your Google Search Console account, and then submit only the main sitemap: your-domain.com/sitemap_index.xml.

    Further, give Google some time to crawl your website again and see if the issue gets fixed.

    Hope this helps.

    Thank you.
