Hello,
Thank you for contacting Rank Math today.
Google does not like redirect chains since these tend to affect the user experience and thus this may be a factor affecting your ranking.
You should ensure that only one version of the URLs exist by talking to your host about this.
Looking forward to helping you. Thank you.
I’m afraid we’re going round in circles ?!
I consulted my Webhost Provider ( Sitegorund ) about the issue.
Siteground has confirmed the website is configured to work as https://www.pinecareproperties.com/ & this is how it should be in Google.
I tend to agree with Siteground, as I come from a Programming background.

Your final thoughts ?
Hi,
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 🙂

I would recommend that you keep at it and work on acquiring more links to break into the top SERPs.
Hope that helps and please do not hesitate to let us know if you need our assistance with anything else.
Thanks for the update Todd.
Unfortunately, your response is completely out of context with the issue at hand.
If you read the post carefully, I’m simply asking on how to deal with the Homepage URLs that are showing up in ‘Page with Indirect’ ?
Is it a SEO plugin or is it Webhost issue ?
Hello,
Thank you for contacting Rank Math today.
The SSL redirection issues are controlled at the host level and this is not something that Rank Math can help to configure. I can suggest that you send the search console error log to your host so that they can take a look at what is causing the redirection issue.
Looking forward to helping you. Thank you.
