Why my blog post is showing on Google

Hello, we apologize for the issue you are facing with your blog post not showing on Google.

If your blog post is not appearing in Google search results, it could be due to several reasons:

1. Not Indexed: Your post may not have been indexed by Google yet. Newly published content can take time to be indexed, sometimes days or even weeks. You can check if your URL has been indexed by searching for it directly in Google.

2. Noindex Attribute: Ensure that your post does not have a noindex attribute set, which would prevent it from being indexed by search engines.

3. Robots.txt Rules: Check your robots.txt file to ensure that it allows Google to crawl your site.

4. Crawled but Not Indexed: Sometimes, pages are crawled but not indexed due to various factors like low-quality content or duplicate content issues.

5. Index Status Monitoring: You can monitor your site’s indexation status using Google Search Console or the Index Status report in Rank Math’s Analytics. This will help you identify any issues that may be preventing your pages from being indexed.

For more detailed information, you can refer to our article on Why Google Hasn’t Indexed Your Post, Page, and/or Website.

If you are seeing a "neutral index" status, it typically means that the page is neither fully indexed nor completely excluded from indexing. This could indicate that Google has crawled the page but has not yet decided to include it in its index.

If you continue to experience issues, please reply to this ticket with your site URL so that a human agent can assist you further. Thank you for raising this concern!

Hello,

Thank you for contacting us and sorry for any inconvenience that might have been caused due to that.

Can you please share some affected page URLs with us so that we can check the issue further for you?

However, please note that the index status ‘neutral’ is equivalent to ‘excluded’ which means the URL was crawled but not indexed for some reason. You can test some of your affected URLs with the URL Inspection Tool in your GSC: https://support.google.com/webmasters/answer/9012289?hl=en

If you see a different result than your Index Status tab that means the data on Index Status is not up to date. In this case, you can follow the steps below to delete old analytics data and start a fresh import:

1. At first please head over to WordPress Dashboard > Rank Math > Status & Tools > Database Tools and click the Rebuild Index button.

2. After that, Head over to WordPress Dashboard > Rank Math > General Settings > Analytics tab, click the Delete Data button, and then click the Update Data Manually

It will start the new data fetch from Google. You can reload the page to see the notice related to the import process.

Once the process is complete. Please check the page again.

Let us know how it goes. Looking forward to helping you.
