Meta Tag indexing issue.

Hello,

We apologize for the issue you are facing with the indexing error in Google Search Console. The error "Excluded by ‘noindex’ tag" indicates that there is a noindex meta tag present on your page, which instructs Google not to include it in the search index.

Since you’ve already checked the Rank Math SEO settings and confirmed that they are set to index, here are a few steps you can take to resolve this issue:

1. Check the Rank Math Metabox:

   • Open the post/page in the WordPress Editor.
   • For Gutenberg Editor, click the Rank Math SEO icon in the top-right corner.
   • For Classic Editor, scroll down to find the Rank Math Metabox.
   • Ensure that in the Advanced Tab, the Robots Meta is set to Index. If it is set to No Index, change it to Index and update the page.

   

2. Check Titles & Meta Settings:

   • Go to Rank Math SEO → Titles & Meta and review each section to ensure that no default settings are set to noindex for your posts/pages.
   • If you find any settings that are set to noindex and you want those pages indexed, change them to index and save your changes.

   

3. Review Plugins and Themes:

   • Sometimes other plugins or themes may add a noindex tag. Review any active plugins or theme settings that might be affecting this.

4. Clear Cache Again:

   • After making these changes, clear your site cache again and also check if you have any server-side caching that needs to be cleared.

5. Re-crawl in Google Search Console:

   • Once you have made these adjustments, go back to Google Search Console and request a re-crawl of the affected pages.

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. Thank you for raising this concern!
