Hello,
Thank you for contacting Rank Math and bringing your concern to our attention. I’m sorry for any inconvenience this issue may have caused you.
Rank Math’s paginated archive pages’ default meta title and description contain the %page% variable to avoid duplicate meta tag issues.
Here’s a link for more information on where you can set them:

Hope that helps.
Thank you.
I refered that, but our title, keywords and description are generated by ACF but not Rankmath, I think we must disavow all the page/2, page/3… (like in the sensitive data) , could you please advise what’s disavow code I need to put in robots.txt?
Hello,
You can do that by heading over to your WordPress Dashboard > Rank Math > Titles & Meta > Misc Pages and enable both options:
Noindex Subpages and Noindex Paginated Single Pages.
Paginated pages will then be removed from indexing.
However, if you wish to do it via robots.txt you may follow this directive below instead:
User-Agent: *
Disallow: *page/*
Here’s how you edit your robots.txt in Rank Math plugin: https://rankmath.com/kb/how-to-edit-robots-txt-with-rank-math/
Hope that helps and please do not hesitate to let us know if you need my assistance with anything else.
Hello,
I have updated the sensitive data as requested. Can you please check further?
Thank you.
I already use Rank Math to let our page seo have different title, keywords and description. Please see the sensitive data, compare to Disallow: *page/*, do you think which is better for google SEO?
Hello,
We don’t see any robots meta for that particular page. However, only the title is shown as unique while the description shows exactly the same on each pages.
If you wish for these pages to be visible on Google, then you shouldn’t add the disallow directive in your robots.txt.
Please note that the decision to make the paginated pages visible depends entirely on you. If you believe the content of these pages benefits the entire SEO performance of your website, then it is advisable to keep it, otherwise, you can block Google from crawling them.
Hope that helps and please do not hesitate to let us know if you need my assistance with anything else.
