    Hello Rank Math Team,

    We are using the “Instant Indexing” tool on BroGamers.de and consistently encounter a 404 error message whenever we attempt to check the status—even when we have already reported the page through the tool beforehand. We noticed this tip in your FAQ section, but unfortunately, it hasn’t resolved the issue for us.

    When submitting content or issuing a deletion command through the plugin, we do not receive any error messages. It always states that the action was successful. It seems that the instant indexing works well, as the content appears on Google immediately.

    We also have a related question: Is it potentially harmful to use this plugin? Could there be any negative consequences, such as a penalty, for instantly indexing content on Google?

    Additionally, we are considering switching from Yoast to Rank Math. Are there any specific steps or precautions we should take before migrating to avoid ranking issues?

    We would greatly appreciate your feedback.

    Thank you in advance.
    Best regards,

    Hello,

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

    If you are getting the 404 error it means that the URLs are not in the Indexing API. Since the API is only for two types of websites (job posting and live streams) and goes through rigorous spam detection due to recent changes in Google, it’s much more difficult to get URLs into the API.

    So, unless you have one of the website types we mentioned and the content is unique, you won’t be able to use this feature consistently and you shouldn’t as the API was never intended for it as mentioned in our own documentation.

    The bottom line is that our submissions to the API are working fine, but if the pages are not accepted into it because of guidelines issues, there’s nothing we can do.

    The Instant Indexing plugin was put through rigorous testing and we can see the submissions are working, but we cannot force Google to accept them as mentioned multiple times before.

    Regarding the migration from Yoast to Rank Math, here’s how you can properly migrate without losing any data: https://rankmath.com/kb/yoast-seo-migration/

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