Hello,
Thank you for contacting Rank Math support today and sorry for the experience you had while using the plugin. I will try my level best to help you get to the bottom of this.
There are a few things you have to keep in mind when using any SEO plugin, not just Rank Math.
1. An SEO plugin alone cannot bring down or bring up the traffic in a day (or even a few days) unless incorrect Meta Tags are used by setting up the plugin improperly. That’s why we have a detailed tutorial on that:
https://rankmath.com/kb/how-to-setup/
2. All the SEO plugins add Meta tags for the search engines which can be checked by viewing the source of a page. For instance, here:
view-source:https://rankmath.com/
Other popular plugins generate similar tags:

And with the Rank Math plugin, additional tags are added to a page so search engines can understand the content on a website better.
3. Google brings a new algorithmic update several times a month and the chances are great that your website got hit by that.
We have a full guide on that: https://rankmath.com/blog/google-algorithm-update-recovery/
And if you are using Rank Math PRO, you can even see if the drop in traffic co-relates to an algorithm update. Here’s how:

FINAL STATEMENT
– If your website is doing good on SERP, Rank Math is your best bet to improve the rankings further.
– If your website is not doing good on search engines, Rank Math is the best option to move into.
– We are pretty open in communication and how we are dealing with things. One can check here:

Hope that helps and let me know if you need my assistance with anything at all.
Yes thanks so much,also most of my posts when I search for them on Google I only see the homepage and keywords in such posts appear on Google and not the post itself. What do I mean?; Assuming I have a post on business ideas to start without money and I search for it on Google I will find my homepage url with the keywords business ideas to start without money instead of the post url itself and checking search console these posts are indexed.
Hello,
If your homepage page is ranking better than your posts, then Google thinks that your homepage is more optimized than the posts for that certain keyword. You need to ensure that the keyword is mentioned in your post while avoiding keyword stuffing.
With that said, even if you have established the keywords in the preferred content, it’s up to Google what they wish to show first on the SERP. You just need to make a new SEO strategy by following the guides we have shared in the previous reply or you may also refer to this: https://backlinko.com/google-ranking-factors
Hope that helps and please do not hesitate to let us know if you need our assistance with anything else.
