Hello,
We apologize for the issues you are facing with setting up Rank Math SEO. Thank you for raising your concerns.
About and Contact Pages Not Found
If you are getting a "not found" error when entering the URLs for your About and Contact pages, please ensure that:
- The URLs you are entering are correct and publicly accessible.
- The pages are published and not set to draft or private.
- You can try accessing those URLs directly in your browser to confirm they are live.
Google Maps API Key
Regarding the Google Maps API key, it is necessary for features like displaying maps on your site. Here’s how to obtain it:
- Go to the Google Cloud Console.
- Create a new project or select an existing one.
- Navigate to the APIs & Services > Library.
- Search for Maps JavaScript API and enable it.
- Go to Credentials and click on Create Credentials > API Key.
- Copy the generated API key and paste it into the Rank Math settings under the Google Maps API Key section.
You may be prompted to enter credit card information for verification, but Google does offer a free tier that should cover basic usage. Just ensure you monitor your usage to avoid unexpected charges.

by submitting ticket it is assumed that I would be communicating to an individual who can actually help me and not FAQ.
So, please answer my question and if not then it’s ok too. I will have to just uninstall the plug in then.
Are you going to reply?
When I go to credentials link you provided I do not see a button to create credentials / API keys, and therefore can not continue the process.
I need an agent (not the BOT) to answer the question. I read all FAQs and that is why. Answer is not there.
Step by Step, how do I add API keys?
How do I actually use Rank Math SEO to optimize my site. How to submit google sitemap index?

Hello,
For the About and Contact page, you’ll just need to enter/type the page title, and it will show under the dropdown option
Also, those dropdown options will only show the default WordPress Pages, so ensure that they are created under that.
Regarding the API key, that step will require your business name, payment method, and card details.
However, rest assured that no charges will be applied unless you choose to upgrade to a paid account. This information is solely needed for verification to ensure you’re not a robot.
Here’s a guide you can follow as well:
