Hello,
Thank you for reaching out to us. We understand your concerns about not being able to find your website on the first page of Google search engine results when searching for the mentioned keywords.
There could be various reasons for this, such as lack of relevant content, low-quality backlinks, poor website design, or strong competition. We suggest conducting a thorough audit of your website to identify any areas that may need improvement.

You can start by analyzing your website’s content and ensuring that it is relevant, high-quality, and optimized with the right keywords. You should also focus on building high-quality backlinks from reputable websites in your niche. Additionally, make sure your website is mobile-friendly and has a fast loading time to improve user experience.
Another important factor is the level of competition for the keywords you are targeting. If there are many established companies in your niche with a strong online presence, it may take longer to rank higher in search engine results.
We hope this information helps. Please let us know if you have any further questions or concerns.
— Inquiry About Keyword Indexing Time for Google Search
I hope this message finds you well.
I recently completed the keyword setup for my website using RankMath SEO. I wanted to inquire about the typical timeframe for my website to start appearing in Google search results for the targeted keywords.
Website URL: https://childrights.skopick.org/
Keywords Targeted: Child Rights Foundation
Date of Keyword Setup Completion: 21-05-2024
Hello,
There is no defined timeframe or guarantee that your site will be ranked in the top position for the keyword. The site you have shared isn’t indexed in the SERPs. Please make sure that you have submitted your sitemap in your GSC account and wait for Google to index it. You should also check the Page Indexing Report of your GSC account to confirm there are no issues preventing your site from indexing.
Once indexed, please note that ranking on Google and getting traffic 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-factors
I would recommend that you keep at it and work on acquiring more links to break into the top SERPs. Here are a few resources I think you will find useful while devising an SEO strategy.

Hello RankMath Support Team,
I am writing to seek assistance with my website’s ranking on Google. Despite optimizing my website and achieving a RankMath score of 85/100 for my targeted keyword, my website is still not appearing at the top of the Google search results. I implemented these changes over a month ago, but I am not seeing any improvement.
Keywords Targeted: Child Rights Foundation
Could you please help me understand what might be going wrong and provide guidance on how to improve my website’s search ranking?
Thank you for your assistance.
Hello,
As we have previously mentioned, the timeframe for seeing changes in Google search rankings can vary based on several factors, including the existing optimization level of your site, the competitiveness of your niche, and the quality of your content.
According to Google, it generally takes between four months to a year to start seeing results with SEO efforts. Established websites like yours may expect to see improvements within four months. However, it’s essential to note that appearing on the first page of Google search results can take longer. A study by Ahrefs suggests that only 5.7% of new web pages reach the first page within their first year, with most taking one to three years to achieve this.
Since you have already reached a high score on the Rank Math content analysis tests, this may take a while to reflect the changes on SERPs. Mostly it depends on how frequently Google crawler is crawling your site. Regarding ranking, this takes a bunch of time, since SEO takes time to show effects and it can’t be done overnight.
So we suggest you wait and keep your patience. You should start noticing changes in a couple of weeks usually.
Looking forward to helping you.
Great discussion on optimizing Google search rankings! I’ve encountered similar challenges with my site, SRD Status Checker. Despite achieving high scores with RankMath, maintaining a top position in search results can be tricky. One strategy that worked for me was focusing on high-quality, user-centric content and improving page load speed. Additionally, engaging in community discussions and building relevant backlinks from reputable sites has significantly boosted my rankings. I’d love to hear more tips and experiences from others on this topic!
Hello,
@siva-2
We can see that you are using two SEO plugins on your website.
It is generally recommended that you use one SEO plugin on your website. This is to prevent any conflicts between the two plugins and ensure smooth SEO optimization on your website.
In this case, we recommend that you disable the Yoast plugin on your site so we can be able to help you further.
We also checked and your website is not indexed on Google Search yet.
You can request the indexing of your pages by passing it through the URL Inspection Tool and request it there: https://developers.google.com/search/docs/crawling-indexing/ask-google-to-recrawl. The tool will also let you know if there are any issues on the URL that prevent them from getting indexed.
You can read more about that here: https://support.google.com/webmasters/answer/9012289?hl=en
Meanwhile, we have provided some guides you can follow to ensure your website keeps showing up on Google search results: https://rankmath.com/kb/google-index/

Please note that, according to Google, crawling and indexing can take anywhere from a few hours to a few days/weeks. Be patient and monitor progress using the URL Inspection tool.
We hope this helps and please let us know if you have any questions or concerns.
Thank you.
