    Hello,

    For several months google search console has shown an error indexing one of my category pages. It says – Submitted URL marked ‘noindex’. However, I have had it marked as ‘index’ within Rank Math.

    Is there anything I can do to resolve this?

    Hello,

    Thank you for getting in touch and I am extremely sorry about the trouble this might have caused.

    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:

    Noindex Settings

    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 a page from 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.
