Hello,
I’m sorry to hear about the issue you’re facing with image indexing on Google Search despite your efforts to disable it using the Rank Math SEO plugin. Thank you for providing detailed information about the steps you have already taken.
To address this issue, let’s ensure that the images are correctly set to ‘No index’ in Rank Math. Here’s what you can do:
- Check Rank Math’s Titles & Meta Settings:
- Head over to Rank Math SEO → Titles & Meta tab.
- Double-check each section to ensure that the settings are as per your preference.
- If the images are set as “no index” and you want them indexed, change the Robots Meta tag to “Index” as shown in the screenshot below:
- Verify Robots Meta Tag in Rank Math Metabox:
- Open the post/page where the image is located in the WordPress Editor.
- Ensure that the Rank Math Metabox is available and accessible.
- In the Rank Math Metabox, choose the Advanced Tab.
- If the Robots Meta is set with No Index, select the Index checkbox and update the page.
If after following these steps, the issue persists, please reply to this ticket. A human agent from our support team will further investigate and assist you in resolving this matter.
