Post not being indexed in Google

Hello,

We apologize for the issue you are facing with your website posts not being indexed in Google and the previously indexed posts disappearing. Here are some steps you can take to troubleshoot and resolve this issue:

1. Check if Your URL is Indexed

Make sure that your URL is not indexed by searching for it directly in Google. You can do this by entering the URL in the search bar. If it appears, it is indexed; if not, it may need to be submitted for indexing.

2. Ensure Noindex Attribute is Absent

Check if your posts have a noindex attribute set, which prevents them from being indexed. You can do this in the Rank Math settings or your page settings.

3. Review Robots.txt File

Ensure that your robots.txt file is not blocking Google from crawling your site. You can use the robots.txt testing tool to verify this.

4. Check for Crawling Issues

If your site is new, it may take some time for Google to index it. However, if your site has been around for a while and posts are disappearing, there could be other issues at play, such as security problems or penalties from Google.

5. Use the Instant Indexing Plugin

Consider using our Instant Indexing plugin for Google to submit your URLs directly to Google, which can help speed up the indexing process.

6. Monitor Index Status

Keep an eye on your site’s index status through Google Search Console to see if there are any errors or issues reported.

If you continue to experience issues after trying these steps, please reply to this ticket with your website URL so that a human agent from our support team can assist you further. Thank you for raising this concern!
