Hello,
Thank you for contacting Rank Math and sorry for any inconvenience that might have been caused due to that.
Installing the instant indexing plugin does not guarantee your posts appearing on the first page, the plugin makes it easier to get your posts indexed faster and get added to your Google cache.
Hope that helps and please do not hesitate to let us know if you need our assistance with anything else.
Hello,
Thank you for reaching out,
My website is mominpert.com and it isn’t on 1st page of search engine sometimes that’s why I search specifically for the link https://mominpert.com/ and check for any available websites in the search results.
For some reason I only have 2 pages available on search engines both Bing and Google. But I had submitted all 13 pages to Google and 10 on Bing today using API instant indexing but nothing changed on Google or Bing.
I was thinking there has to be some time until it gets approved or accepted to be available on the search engines but I can’t find any relevant information regarding time after API index until it gets on search engines.
I have sitemap.xml submitted on both Google and Bing including today adding instant indexing API to both.
There are on Google some pages that I have removed from sitemap indexing and deleted them but they still show up in Google unlike Bing showing only homepage and about page.
Thanks in advance.
Hello,
Thank you for your reply.
It looks like your website has about 60 results in the SERPs.
See the screenshot below:

Could you please share the exact URL you are trying to index so that we can look into it for any possible misconfiguration?
Looking forward to helping you. Thank you.
Hello,
Thank you for your help, the problem is most of the pages listed I had deleted them and configured the sitemap settings and api to index only pages (homepage and 13 services pages) but there are still on the search engines old websites which gives error 404 naturally.
Furthermore most of the pages meta info are old and hadn’t been updated to the latest edits I had made a few days ago.
I checked sitemap settings and api to be sure that no pages are listed that I don’t want them listed.
Do you believe the changes will take effect later?
And a small question please, I added local seo information but they didn’t shhowup either, on google at the right showing business information.
Do I need to add local seo for example as a widjet on the website so it can be shown? Or it takes time to get on Google/Bing as well?
Thanks In advance.
Hello,
Thank you for your reply.
If you already deleted old URLs, are they still showing inside SERPs? You may need to wait for few days or a week in order to disappear them from the search engine. However, you can also use this tool to notify Google that you want to remove those URLs.

If the changes are not reflecting on the SERPs, then there is a possibility Google bot hasn’t visited your website recently. You should wait for few days, and you will see the changes gradually.
And the Local SEO will also take time to display on SERPs, and No, That is completely up to you if you want to display your local SEO on a webpage. But I would suggest you display the shortcode on your contact page.
