Hello,
Thank you for contacting Rank Math today.
Google assigns a custom crawl budget to each site and this might be between a few hours to a few days. Please login to your search console and check if there are any coverage errors such as noindex pages or a robots.txt misconfig.
Looking forward to helping you. Thank you.
Thanks for the update.
The Coverage is showing ZERO No Issues – Screenshot below
Google Search Console :Coverage
I have uploaded the Coverage Report – link below:
Do you see anything suspicious ?
Coverage Report – Export
How do I check for any misconfigs in the robots.txt file ?
Hi there,
Thanks for the reply.
I can see that there are 22 pages that are excluded from indexing which could suggest that these are set to noindex on your site.
Could you please check if the affected page is amongst the 22 noindex pages by clicking on the “Excluded 22” on the search console?
I hope this info helps. Thank you.
Thanks again for the update.
Google has done a Crawl y’day – Mar 31, 2020, 5:09:51 PM ( screenshot below )
Coverage Screenshot ( after Google Crawl)
The Excluded Pages # is 189 ( instead of 22 )
I have uploaded Export Report for each of the Excluded Categories below:
1. Crawled – currently not indexed
2. Duplicate, Google chose different canonical than user
3. Duplicate, submitted URL not selected as canonical
4. Page with redirect
5. Excluded by ‘noindex’ tag
6. Soft 404
7. Discovered – currently not indexed

Can you pls re-assess the issue for each of the Excluded Categories ?
Which of the Excluded Categories can be fixed, which ones are out of my control ?
Thanks in Advance.
Hello,
Thank you for contacting Rank Math today.
I can suggest that you head over to Rank Math > Titles & Meta page and review the settings that you have enabled for your categories and the rest of your settings. If you want the categories not to be indexed then you don’t have to worry about this.
Most of the pages excluded by noindex are paginated pages and thus you don’t need to worry about these since indexing them will dilute your rank.
For the links affected by 404s, I can suggest that you enable the 404 monitor module in Rank Math and check the number of hits for each link and if they are high, you might need to redirect these pages.
Looking forward to helping you. Thank you.
Hello,

<< I can suggest that you head over to Rank Math > Titles & Meta page and review the settings that you have enabled for your categories and the rest of your settings. If you want the categories not to be indexed then you don’t have to worry about this. >>
I am using the Default settings for Rank Math > Titles & Meta page.
Kindly review the settings from Admin Panel for the same.

My main concern is, why after the new Google Crawl, the focus keywords 'luxury villas in kenya' as defined on the Homepage is still not returning my site on Google Search ?
There are 2 Homepage URL’s showing in the Coverage > Excluded > Crawled – currently not indexed:
https://www.pinecareproperties.com/homepage/feed/
https://www.pinecareproperties.com/feed/
Is this the reason why Homepage SEO settings is not reflecting on Google Search ?
** My main dilemma is why my site is not showing on Google search with focus keywords ‘luxury villas in kenya’ & despite a SEO Score of 73/100 ? **
<< For the links affected by 404s, I can suggest that you enable the 404 monitor module in Rank Math and check the number of hits for each link and if they are high, you might need to redirect these pages. >>
I have enabled the 404 Monitor settings to Simple.
Kindly review the settings from Admin Panel for the same.
The good news, I’m seeing (+) results on Google Search with following keywords:
hacker german kitchen nairobi
smart homes kenya
living room italian marble Kenya
Thanks in Advance.
Hello,
Thank you for contacting Rank Math today.
It looks like you removed the temporary access and thus I cannot check the settings that you mentioned.
My main concern is, why after the new Google Crawl, the focus keywords ‘luxury villas in kenya’ as defined on the Homepage is still not returning my site on Google Search ?
Please allow some time for Google to rank your site for this keyword and also ensure that there are enough backlinks to your site.
Looking forward to helping you. Thank you.
