    After I use RankMath, I cannot find my website’s homepage in google by searching the site name.
    And I have submitted the sitemap multiple times and Google search console shows it’s successful. I check the sitemap myself and I cannot find the link of homepage inside. I dont know if it’s the cause of the issue. How should I do to make my website’s homepage show on Google?

    Hello,

    We apologize for the issue you are facing with your website not appearing in Google search results when searching for your site name. Thank you for raising this concern.

    Here are some steps you can take to help ensure your homepage is indexed and displayed correctly:

    1. Check Your Site Name Configuration: Make sure that your site name is correctly set in the homepage title tag, H1 header tag, Open Graph metadata, and structured data. This helps Google identify your site name accurately. You can refer to our guide on Why Google Displays URL Instead of Site Name in SERP for more details on how to do this.

    2. Request Google to Reindex Your Homepage: You can expedite the indexing process by requesting Google to reindex your homepage. To do this:

    3. Submit Your Sitemap: Ensure that your sitemap is correctly submitted in Google Search Console. You mentioned that you have submitted it multiple times, but if your homepage link is missing from the sitemap, it may not be indexed. Rank Math automatically generates a sitemap for you, which should be accessible at https://rankmath.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/09/Enter-a-site-name-in-Site-Title-field.pngsitemap_index.xml. Check this URL to see if your homepage is included.

      • If it’s not included, you may need to check your settings in Rank Math to ensure that your homepage is set to be included in the sitemap.

    4. Check for Manual Actions: In Google Search Console, check the Manual Actions report to see if there are any penalties affecting your site. If there are any issues, follow Google’s guidelines to resolve them.

    5. Wait for Indexing: Sometimes, it may take a few weeks for Google to index new or updated content. If you’ve made recent changes, give it some time and keep monitoring.

    If you continue to experience issues after following these steps, please reply to this ticket, and a human agent from the Rank Math Support team will assist you further.

    We hope this helps you get your homepage indexed properly!

    Hello,

    Thank you for contacting us and sorry for any inconvenience that might have been caused due to that.

    Can you please confirm if your website is not ranking on Google?

    If so, please note that it depends on so much more than just your on-page optimization. You could have the perfect article and still struggle to break the top 10 in SERPs. Here are some of the factors Google considers when ranking you:

    1. Your website’s authority
    2. Your content’s quality and how better it is than the other article currently ranking.
    3. How competitive the keyword is.
    4. How many backlinks you have and if they are better than what the other guys ranking for that keyword have.
    5. Your website’s crawlability.
    6. Frequency of new content and content updates.
    7. So much more that there is a dedicated blog post on it by Brian Dean 🙂 https://backlinko.com/google-ranking-factors

    We would recommend that you keep at it and work on acquiring more links to break into the top SERPs. Here are a few resources we think you will find useful while devising an SEO strategy.
