    Hello,

    Thank you for contacting us and bringing your concern to our attention.

    If you want to remove your website from Google then you can set your whole website noindex. To do that, you can check the Search engine visibility option in WordPress Dashboard > Settings > Reading:

    Once done, give Google some time to recrawl your site it will automatically remove your website from SERPs.

    For more details, you can check this URL: https://developers.google.com/search/docs/crawling-indexing/remove-information

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

    Ok got it.

    Do I need to open all pages, blog posts, and products to set No Index via Rank Math?

    Hello,

    When you enable the Search engine visibility option, Rank Math will automatically include the noindex tag in all of your pages, posts, and products. So you don’t need to noindex them again one by one.

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

    Hello,

    You can use the site: operator to check your pages on SERPs. If there is no results appear that means your website is removed from SERPs. https://developers.google.com/search/docs/monitor-debug/search-operators/all-search-site

    You can also check the Page Indexing report on your Google Search Console to check the total number of indexed and not indexed pages. https://support.google.com/webmasters/answer/7440203?hl=en

    Please don’t hesitate to let us know if you have any other questions.
     
    Thank you.

    Hello,

    Be aware that implementing a site-wide change, such as activating the ‘Discourage search engines from indexing this site option, can require a certain period before all your pages are de-indexed.

    This process requires Google to recrawl your site and register the changes, which may take a few days, weeks, or even longer, depending on the size of your site.

    It’s crucial to provide Google with ample time to acknowledge these changes.

    Search engines are not instant in recognizing modifications made to a website. Exercise patience, wait for some time, and then verify again.

    If there’s a need to remove a particular page promptly, Google Search Console offers a URL Removal Tool ( https://support.google.com/webmasters/answer/9689846 ) .

    This allows you to conceal a URL for approximately six months temporarily.

    Learn more about removing a page hosted on your site from Google here : https://developers.google.com/search/docs/crawling-indexing/remove-information

    Requests submitted via the Removals tool typically last for about six months. If you wish to permanently obstruct a page from appearing in Google Search results, you could:

    Remove or update the content on your page.

    This approach is the most reliable way to ensure that your information won’t be visible in other search engines that may not respect the no-index tag and also safeguard your page from being accessed by others.

    Protect your page with a password.

    This restricts access to your page, enabling only authorized users to view your content while blocking Googlebot and other web crawlers.
