    Rank Math free

    Hello, I have checked all the index options in rankmath according to the tutorial, but my website is still detected by Google noindex.

    Code:
    As Pillar Content<li role=’group’ id=’wp-admin-bar-rank-math-no-index’ class=”mark-page-as”>As NoIndex<li role=’group’ id=’wp-admin-bar-rank-math-no-follow’ class=”mark-page-as”>As NoFollow

    How do I fix this?

    Hello,

    We apologize for the issue you are facing with your website being detected as noindex by Google. It sounds like you’ve already checked the Rank Math settings, but there are a few additional steps you can take to ensure everything is set correctly.

    1. Check the Rank Math Metabox: Open the specific post or page in the WordPress Editor and ensure that the Rank Math Metabox is set to index. In the Gutenberg Editor, click the Rank Math SEO icon in the top-right corner. For Classic Editor, scroll down to find the Metabox. Make sure the Robots Meta is set to Index.

    2. Search Engine Visibility: Go to Settings → Reading in your WordPress dashboard and ensure that the Discourage search engines from indexing this site checkbox is unchecked. If this option is checked, it will apply noindex to your entire site.

    3. Titles & Meta Settings: Navigate to Rank Math SEO → Titles & Meta and check each tab to confirm that noindex is not set as a default value for your posts or taxonomies.

    4. Validate Fix in Google Search Console: After making these changes, ensure your sitemap is updated and use the Validate Fix option in Google Search Console to inform Google about the changes.

    Hello,

    Can you please share the affected URL with us so that we can check this further for you?

    However, it is a pretty common mistake to open the page source and search for a Noindex tag to see if the page is marked as Noindex or not.

    Rank Math offers a No Index and No Follow option in the admin menu bar, which could show up in the page’s source code when logged in.

    The actual Noindex tag will be added like this: <meta robots="noindex">

    Looking forward to helping you.

    Thank you.
