Hello,
We apologize for the issue you are facing with your website not ranking. It can be frustrating when you’ve put in the effort and aren’t seeing the results you expect.
Here are a few potential reasons why your website might not be ranking well:
1. Blocked Crawling
Ensure that you haven’t accidentally blocked Google from crawling your site. Check your
robots.txtfile to confirm that there are no directives preventing Googlebot from accessing your pages. You can use the robots.txt testing tool to verify this.2. Indexing Issues
If your website is relatively new or if you’ve made significant changes, it may take time for Google to re-index your site. You can use our Instant Indexing plugin for Google to help submit your URLs to Google and expedite the indexing process.
3. Content Quality
Make sure that your content is high-quality and relevant to your target audience. Google prioritizes content that provides value to users, so ensure that your blogs are informative and engaging.
4. Penalties
Check if your site has been penalized by Google for any reason, such as using black hat SEO tactics or having low-quality content. If you suspect this might be the case, review Google’s guidelines and make necessary adjustments.
5. Security Issues
Ensure that there are no security issues with your site that could affect its visibility in search results. You can check for security issues in the Malware report in Google Search Console.
6. Target Audience Location
Since you’ve moved to Singapore but are targeting an audience in India, consider how this might affect your SEO strategy. Ensure that your content is still relevant to your Indian audience and consider using local SEO strategies to reach them effectively.
If you’ve checked all these aspects and still face issues, we recommend replying to this ticket, and a human agent from the Rank Math Support team will assist you further.
Thank you for raising this concern, and we hope to help you get back on track soon!

Why Did My Website Disappear From Google Search? » Rank MathHello,
Thank you for contacting us and sorry for any inconvenience that might have been caused due to that.
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 🙂 https://backlinko.com/google-ranking-factorsWe would recommend that you keep at it and work on acquiring more links to break into the top SERPs. Here are a few resources we think you will find useful while devising an SEO strategy.
