i mean in google mobile search result, the image was always there when I use yoast, thanks
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.
I’ve checked your site using Google’s Rich Results test, and your featured image is already included in your schema. The featured image is inserted in the primaryImageOfPage property.
However, just adding the schema doesn’t mean Google is going to pick it up to show beside your SERPs. Your website has to “earn” that by gaining more authority. You can do that by posting regularly and getting consistent backlinks to your domain and to your content.
Google takes the featured image from the featured image you set in your posts/pages, and unfortunately, it is automatic. I mean, we have no control over it. It is Google’s decision to show it or not.
I hope that helps.
Thank you, and please don’t hesitate to contact us anytime if you need further assistance with anything else.
but why the image is used to show when I using Yoast?
Hello,
Thank you for getting back to us.
I have just checked your site on the rich results tool here: https://search.google.com/test/rich-results and your images seem to be included on the page.
Since the image in the schema is correct but Google is not picking the image, then that is because Google thinks that image is more relevant for the search term and it is not much you can do to force Google to use the image you are providing.
Unfortunately, we don’t have any control over how SERP results are displayed and Google displays them as per their will.
Looking forward to helping you. Thank you.
