Google does not index correctly

Hello,

Did you add the sitemap to the Google Search Console?

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.

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,

It just means your homepage holds more authority to rank for that keyword than the individual post/page.

I would recommend building some internal links and external backlinks to that post to make it rank above your homepage.
