Hello,
Thank you for reaching out to us regarding the discrepancy between the results shown in our plugin and Google search.
To address this issue, it’s important to note that while using the Instant Indexing feature in Rank Math, the indexing process may take some time to reflect accurately in Google search results. The indexing process is not instantaneous and can vary based on various factors such as Google’s indexing speed, website authority, and content relevance.
If you are seeing different results in our plugin and Google search, I recommend waiting for some time to allow Google to index the changes properly. Additionally, you can manually submit the page to Google using the URL Inspection tool in Google Search Console to expedite the indexing process.
If the issue persists or if you have any further questions, please feel free to let us know so we can assist you accordingly.
Thank you for your understanding and patience.

Hello,
Thank you for contacting us and bringing your concern to our attention.
Please note that the site: operator doesn’t always give an accurate test, it often just returns a sample of URLs. In this case, you can use the URL Inspection tool to make sure the URL is indexed or not.
Here’s what Google says about the site operator:
If a URL is indexed in Google, it can show up in search results for site: queries that are related to the URL, however it’s not guaranteed. If a URL doesn’t show in a site: query, use the URL Inspection tool to make sure the URL can be indexed and to submit the URL to indexing.

That’s why the best way is to use the URL inspection tool of the GSC account to check any URL.
Hope that helps and please don’t hesitate to let us know if you have any other questions.
Thank you.
