    Hello,

    We apologize for the issue you are facing with the noindex tag in Google Search Console. To fix the "Excluded by ‘noindex’ tag" error, you can follow these steps:

    1. Check Rank Math Metabox

    • Open the post/page in the WordPress Editor. If you are using the Gutenberg Editor, click the Rank Math SEO icon in the top-right corner to open the Rank Math Metabox.

    Rank Math Settings

    • For Classic Editor, scroll down to find the Rank Math Metabox at the bottom of the page.

    2. Enable SEO Controls

    • If the Rank Math Metabox is not visible, ensure that you have enabled Add SEO Controls from Rank Math SEO → Titles & Meta Settings → Pages.

    3. Adjust Robots Meta Settings

    • In the Rank Math Metabox, go to the Advanced Tab. If you cannot find it, please enable advanced mode from Rank Math SEO → Dashboard.

    Rank Math Advanced mode

    • Check if the Robots Meta is set to No Index. If it is, select the Index checkbox and update the page/post.

    Advanced tab

    4. Check Search Engine Visibility Settings

    • Go to Settings → Reading in your WordPress dashboard. Look for the Search Engine Visibility section and ensure that the checkbox labeled Discourage search engines from indexing this site is unchecked.

    Leave Search engine visibility unchecked

    After making these changes, please allow some time for Google to re-crawl your site. If you continue to experience issues, please reply to this ticket, and a human agent from our support team will assist you further.

    Thank you for raising this concern!

    Hello,

    This is for the search result pages and not for indexing on Google. In this case, you can add the following disallow rule in your robots.txt file to prevent Google from crawling these URLs:

    User-Agent: *
Disallow: *{search_term_string}*

    Here’s a guide on how to edit your robots.txt using Rank Math:

    Once done, give Google some time to recrawl your site to reflect the changes.

    Hope that helps and please don’t hesitate to let us know if you have any other questions.

    Thank you.
