Having an issue with No index.

Hello,

We apologize for the issue you are facing with the No Index setting for your Google Web Stories. It sounds like you have set your global settings to Index and Follow, which is correct for your overall site, but you want to ensure that specific stories are set to No Index and Follow.

Here are a few things to check:

1. Check Individual Story Settings: Make sure that for each individual story, you have correctly set the Robots Meta to No Index and Follow. Sometimes, changes may not reflect if they were not saved properly.

2. Global Settings Override: Ensure that there are no conflicting settings in your global settings that might override the individual story settings. The global settings should allow for individual adjustments, but it’s good to double-check.

3. Caching Issues: If you are using any caching plugins, clear the cache after making changes to ensure that the latest settings are being applied.

4. Robots.txt File: Ensure that your robots.txt file does not have any rules that might be affecting the indexing of your stories. You can check this in the Rank Math settings under General Settings > Edit Robots.txt.

5. Testing: After making these adjustments, you can use Google’s AMP Test to verify if your stories are being recognized correctly.

If you’ve checked all of these and the issue persists, please reply to this ticket with the specific URLs of the stories that are not reflecting the No Index setting, and a human agent from our support team will assist you further.
