    Hi Support,

    I hope you can help, I have a problem with a certain article within my website not being indexed by Google properly, so I hope you can help. I think this is a Rankmath issue. This article is the problem: https://www.housequake.com/2021/09/26/duane-tudahl-interview/

    With Google search console I see this (see screenshot below): Screen 2
    I have tried ‘request indexing’ several times, but that doesn’t work. Do you have any idea how to fix this?

    My sitemap is here: https://www.housequake.com/sitemap_index.xml

    Here are the settings of the article (the same like the rest)
    Screen

    Hope you have an idea what I can do.

    Thanks in advance!

    Aaron

    Hello,

    Thank you for contacting us and we regret the inconvenience caused.

    I checked the post and it is already set to index. The post is also listed in the sitemaps and the robots.txt file also seems fine.

    Discovered, not indexed, simply means that Google is aware of the page’s existence but the pages are yet to be crawled. Typically, Google wanted to crawl the URLs but this was expected to overload the site; therefore Google rescheduled the crawl. This is why the last crawl date is empty on the report.

    Please give Google some time to crawl the website again and see if the post is indexed.

    Hope this helps.

    Thank you.

    Hi Prabhat, thanks for your reply!

    I am a patient man. But the thing is, the article has been posted more than a month ago, and meanwhile, a newer article has already been indexed properly. So I wonder if there’s something wrong with the Rankmath settings perhaps…

    Thanks!

    Hello,

    The page is correctly set to index.

    Please note that it is completely upto Google if they want to index or not index your pages. 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.
