Hello,
Thank you for contacting Rank Math support, and sorry for any inconvenience that might have been caused due to that.
The first thing you should do is to take action and report the website that copied your content. I would suggest contacting them to bring down the copied content. If that isn’t addressed, you can reach out to search engines to address this further.
Please note that crawling and indexing of the website depend on the authority and crawl budget of the website.
Our instant indexing API only submits the URL to Google and it is completely up to Google if they want to index or not index your URLs. So, if you haven’t willingly or accidentally made your page noindex and Google still isn’t indexing your pages – it means that either Google doesn’t want to index or hasn’t crawled your posts yet because it hasn’t allocated that much crawl budget to your website.
We look forward to helping you.
Hello, Thanks for replying. Actually, Google does index my articles but the problem is that it is ranking copied sites higher than my original content. And those are low authority sites. Reporting and complaining didn’t help. My question is what are the benefits of having Rank Math and its modules when a 0-level site can outrank my optimized and original content? Is there anything wrong with my rank math settings?
Hello,
Ranking on search engines like Google depends on so much more than just on-page optimization. You could have the “perfect” content, and still, struggle to make it to the top 10 results in SERPs (search engine results pages).
Here’s a link for more information:

I would recommend that you keep at it and work on acquiring more links to break into the top SERPs.
Here are a few resources I think you will find useful while devising an SEO strategy.
