Hello,
We apologize for the issue you are facing with your website not showing up in search results. There are several potential reasons why this might be happening:
1. You Have Blocked Google From Crawling Your Site
If you accidentally block Google from crawling your site, it will not appear in search results. Check your robots.txt file to ensure that there are no directives blocking Googlebot from accessing your site. You can use the robots.txt testing tool to verify this.
2. Google Has Not Indexed Your Site Yet
If your website is new, it may take some time for Google to index it. This process can take a few weeks. You can use our Instant Indexing plugin for Google to submit your URLs to Google and help speed up the indexing process.
3. Ensure Your Post, Page & Website Do Not Have The Noindex Attribute Present
Make sure that none of your pages have a "noindex" attribute that would prevent them from being indexed by search engines.
4. Content Duplication Issues
If there are duplicate contents on your site, Google may not index your pages. Check for any duplication and consider adding a canonical URL pointing to the original content you want indexed.
5. Check If Your Website Is Blocked By Google
If your website has been penalized by Google, it may not show up in search results. You can check this by searching for your website on Google. If you don’t see it, there might be a penalty involved.
For more detailed guidance, you can refer to our articles on why your website might not be showing up in Google search and discovered – currently not indexed.

Hey, try checking a few things: First, make sure the “Discourage search engines” option is unchecked in WordPress settings under Reading. Then, ensure your page is set to “Index” in Rank Math. Also, review your robots.txt file to see if it’s blocking Google’s crawler. If you have a duplicate page, confirm whether it’s a separate page or just a duplicate version, and ensure the canonical URL is correctly set—use a self-canonical URL for separate pages.
Hope this helps 😊😊😊😊😊😊😊😊😊
