Hello, the issue is that in a post all the images are being detected and set as related by Google even when those images are not part of the content of said post, there are thumbnails of related content (inside the post page) that are being incorrectly set as part of that post. Here is an example of this: Google Image search example
Here are some pictures of this example: https://file.io/1armzItM4Qoo
The images in the search are mainly of the related posts in the sidebar of the post, those are not static and shouldn’t be displayed when searching for the post in the example. Please do check this out.

Hello, we apologize for the issue you are facing with Google incorrectly detecting images from related posts in the sidebar as part of the main post content.
To investigate why Google is detecting these images incorrectly, you can follow these steps:
-
Use Google Search Console to Identify Pages:
- Go to the Pages section of Google Search Console.
- Click on the Not indexed tab.
- Click on the “Duplicate, Google chose different canonical than user” status to see a list of affected pages.
-
Use Rank Math’s Analytics to Identify Pages With the Problem:
- Navigate to Rank Math > Analytics in the WordPress dashboard.
- Click on the Index Status tab to view the real data/status of your pages and their presence on Google.
- Filter the posts’ index status using the drop-down menu to identify pages with the issue.
If you identify the affected pages using these methods, you can then proceed to fix the problem. If you need further assistance or have any questions, please feel free to reply here, and a human agent from our support team will assist you promptly. Thank you for bringing this concern to our attention.
