Hello,
I understand your concern about the drop in your website’s rankings. While using Rank Math can significantly help in promoting your website, it’s important to note that an SEO plugin alone cannot guarantee instant or magical improvements in search engine rankings.
Rank Math, like any other SEO plugin, is simply software, and its effectiveness depends on how well you use it. However, if your website was already doing well on the SERP, Rank Math can be a great tool to further improve your rankings.
If you’re not familiar with SEO, we have a detailed tutorial on how to set up Rank Math properly, which can help you make the most of the plugin: How to Setup Rank Math.
Additionally, if you’re using Rank Math PRO, you can even see if the drop in traffic correlates to a Google algorithm update. Here’s how: Google Algorithm Updates.
It’s also worth noting that there are several factors beyond on-page optimization that Google considers when evaluating websites, such as website performance, local SEO, and other metrics like ads and domain registration. You can find more information about these factors in our knowledge base.
If you need further assistance or have any other questions, feel free to let me know. We’re here to help!
Hope that helps and let me know if you need my assistance with anything at all.

Hello,
Thank you for contacting Rank Math support.
You can use our plugin to manage all aspects of the on-page SEO of your site. However, 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 recommend that you keep at it and acquire more links to break into the top SERPs. Here are a few resources I think you will find helpful while devising an SEO strategy.
