Google Search Console says my homepage is Excluded by ‘noindex’ tag

Hello,

I’m sorry to hear about the issue you’re facing with your homepage being excluded by the ‘noindex’ tag in Google Search Console. To fix this, you need to check if the ‘noindex’ tag was added intentionally or accidentally. Here are the steps to resolve this:

1. Check Rank Math Metabox:

   • Open your homepage in the WordPress Editor.
   • Look for the Rank Math SEO icon and check if the Robots Meta is set to ‘No Index’. If it is, select the ‘Index’ checkbox and update the page.

   

2. Check Rank Math’s Titles & Meta Settings:

   • Go to Rank Math SEO → Titles & Meta tab.
   • Ensure that the settings are as per your preference. If needed, change the Robots Meta tag to ‘Index’ for your homepage.

   

3. Search Engine Visibility:

   • Go to Settings → Reading in your WordPress dashboard.
   • Ensure that the checkbox labeled Discourage search engines from indexing this site is unchecked.

   

By following these steps, you can resolve the issue of your homepage being excluded by the ‘noindex’ tag. If you need further assistance, feel free to reach out to our support team.

Thank you for reaching out.

Closing spiel.
