Hello,
Thank you for contacting Rank Math and sorry for any inconvenience that might have been caused due to that.
I have just checked your website and everything seems fine in its settings. Could you please try to follow this guide:
There are a few things you must check for in order to see why the posts aren’t getting indexed.
1. Make sure the post is not selected as ‘noindex’ in WP > Posts > Your Post > Advanced Tab in Rank Math.
Screenshot:
2. Ensure that the noindex is not selected for Global or Posts meta:
3. Check the sitemap settings and check if the posts are setup to be included in the sitemaps:
Please note that it is completely upto Google if they want to index or not index your website. So, if you haven’t willingly or accidentally made your posts noindex and Google still isn’t indexing your page – it means that either Google doesn’t want to index or hasn’t crawled your page yet because it hasn’t allocated that much crawl budget to your website.
Please check this website for more details.
Hope that helps and please do not hesitate to let us know if you need our assistance with anything else.
Hello Alberto,
Yes everything is as it should be. my settings are the same for other pages and content. Google indexes new content. However, he did not index a single page in the dictionary.
Your advice is to wait? If so how much?
Thank you
Hello,
Please note that it is completely normal for a newly published post/page to take time before it gets crawled or indexed by Google. It depends on a lot of factors and your posting frequency + the domain authority are just two of them. Google assigns a crawl budget to your website depending on these two factors and that has a direct affect on how soon or how late your content can get indexed.
You can also check for noindex tag here to rule out that your page isn’t getting indexed due to a mistake in plugin settings:

If noindex is not present, then it is just a waiting game before Google decides to include the URL in the index. No SEO plugin can force Google to index something they don’t want to.
With that said, we have found that barring any issues like copied/DMCA/low quality content issues – Google usually indexes posts within a week so we request you to kindly wait. Google even says that on their official website:

The above screenshot was taken from this page: https://support.google.com/webmasters/answer/7552505#missing-jobs
So, you have to be a bit patient and allow it some time. If your website isn’t indexed even after a week, you can place a manual indexing request here:

If you don’t see any issues, all you can do is wait.

Hello Todd,
I know I have to wait. But the website has been published with its current version. So when the website went live (25.04.2020), the dictionary already existed. However, all content was indexed, but the dictionary was not indexed.
I have now made a request on the google side. This maybe solves my problem because everything seems right.
Thanks.
Hello Todd,
I resubmitted sitemaps to google using the search console. yesterday all were scanned and new URL discovered. However, it is still not listed in searches. Is there anything I can do at this point? google upset me 🙁
Thank you

Hello,
I have just checked on Google with the query I added on the Sensitive Data section and your dictionary is indexed in Google.
So now you only need to wait until Google starts ranking in for different keywords, as my colleague explained.
Looking forward to help you.
Hello Todd,
I have now seen a single dictionary title listed. I think the rest will come.
Thank you for suppoort
