Hello,
Thank you for contacting the support, and sorry for any inconvenience that might have been caused due to that.
Since the posts are already indexed and are present in your sitemap, this might be just an issue with optimizing your posts in relation to your keywords. If the keywords are competitive, then your page will need to be quite competitive to Rank top.
Please note that Ranking on Google depends on so much more than just your on-page optimization. You could have the perfect article and still struggle to break the top 10 in SERPs. Here are some of the factors Google considers when ranking you:
1. Your website’s authority
2. Your content’s quality and how better it is than the other article currently ranking.
3. How competitive the keyword is.
4. How many backlinks you have and if they are better than what the other guys ranking for that keyword have.
5. Your website’s crawlability.
6. Frequency of new content and content updates.
7. So much more that there is a dedicated blog post on it by Brian Dean 🙂

Hi,
thank you for your reply Jeremy.
I think I didnt write the right way. I mean that the pages are not shown at google at all. I should be called “indexed” in english.
After crawling the webpage I saw there are 19 pages that are marked as “non indexed”. How would I fix this problem with Rank Math?
Best,
Tonka
Hello,
Thank you for the follow-up.
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 up to 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.
