Hello,
We apologize for the issue you are facing with indexing your posts. It seems like you are encountering an error when trying to submit your posts to the IndexNow API using Rank Math.
To resolve this issue, please ensure that you are using the latest version of Rank Math. If you are using a version prior to 1.0.81, you may want to check our guide on fixing the Failed to submit post to the Bing URL Submission API error, which can be found here.
If your version is 1.0.81 or above, please refer to our article on How to Use IndexNow with Rank Math for detailed instructions on how to properly set up and use the IndexNow feature.
Additionally, make sure that your website’s Search engine visibility option is unchecked in WordPress settings, as this can prevent indexing. You can check this by navigating to Settings → Reading in your WordPress admin dashboard.
If the problem persists 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, and we look forward to helping you resolve it!

Hello,
Can you please share what specific error code you are encountering while submitting URLs on Instant Indexing?
You may try looking for the error code at WordPress Dashboard > Rank Math > Instant Indexing > History > Response.
However, please note that the IndexNow feature is only for Bing and Yandex. If you want to use the Instant Indexing API for Google, you’ll have to use our external plugin: https://rankmath.com/blog/google-indexing-api/
Regarding the indexing issue, Instant Indexing only submits the URLs to Google so they can be crawled faster and potentially indexed but still, it solely depends on Google if they want to index a URL or not.
You can check your Google Search Console Page Indexing report to determine any issues reported on your site: https://support.google.com/webmasters/answer/7440203?hl=en
You can share the error message or take a screenshot using this tool and add the link here so we can check as well.
Looking forward to helping you.
Thank you.
