Rank Math free

hi, I noticed that they search for the name of my site, many links appear that shouldn’t be there.

See this screenshot.
How do I stop it from showing:
Archives: Listings
Travel
Danielro
etc

These are the pages of registered users but I would not like to show them.
I would just like to see the second, third results and the pages /blog/ , /aboutus/

Thank you

Hello,

To prevent certain pages like “Archives: Listings” and user-specific pages from appearing in Google search results, you can use the “Noindex Empty Category and Tag Archives” feature in Rank Math SEO. Here’s how you can do it:
1. Go to your WordPress Dashboard.
2. Navigate to Rank Math SEO > Titles & Meta > Global Meta.
3. Enable the option for Noindex Empty Category and Tag Archives as shown in the screenshot below:
By enabling this option, all the archive pages of empty categories and tag pages will be no-indexed, ensuring they do not appear in Google search results.

Remember to clear the cache and wait for Google to crawl your sitemap again after making this change.

If you have any more questions or need further assistance, feel free to ask!

Hello,

Thank you for your patience.

From your screenshot, it seems that you’re referring to your Sitelinks:
https://rankmath.com/kb/google-sitelinks/

Unfortunately, it is not possible to remove or control which links or titles are shown on the search results under the Sitelinks as Google chooses them automatically.

However, you can refer to Google’s guidelines for Sitelinks:
https://developers.google.com/search/docs/advanced/appearance/sitelinks?hl=en&visit_id=637896202197743542-2185653846&rd=1#sitelinks-best-practices

Hope that helps.

hi,
is written :
“If you need to remove a sitelink, consider removing the page from your site or using noindex. ”

Is it possible in my case?
