    Hello,

    First of all, I just wanted to say that you all have an absolutely amazing plugin 🙂

    One question that I had. I currently have the RankMath Instant Indexing setup on one of my sites and am seeing something kind of weird.

    All of the new posts that I publish on this site are supposedly indexed by Google via your Indexing Plugin and Google’s API.

    My question is this, when the posts are auto indexed with your plugin, the posts do not show up or get a Google Rank immediately. In fact, sometimes I have not seen them show up at all. If I however, go inside of the Google Search Console and manually submit the same exact posts via their manual indexing tool, the post appears in Google’s Search Index and gets a rank almost immediately. Shouldn’t this exact thing happen with your plugin and Google’s indexing API?

    Please let me know your thoughts.

    One thing I wanted to also suggest for the RankMath Plugin (the general plugin, not the indexing plugin), is a new feature or two.

    Feature 1: Is there any way that RankMath can automatically pull in a Search Keyword from the title itself? You know how your plugin is able to automatically do certain things like the image tags, etc.. Is there a way to have the title of the post become the keyword that I am trying to rank for and for it to automatically insert itself into the Post’s RankMath interface?

    Feature 2: Is there a way that I can edit the keyword / search term via the bulk posts interface? For example, select 10 different posts, and to be able to change the keywords for each one side by side (one under the other).

    It would be really awesome if the plugin had more automated features to help get rid of some of these tedious tasks.

    Thanks ahead for any assistance and for consideration.

    Hello,

    Thank you for getting in touch with us.

    We appreciate your feedback a lot!

    The Google indexing API works differently from the option to manually request indexing on GSC. The indexing API is recommended and guarantees indexing for livestreaming and job sites. For other sites, this makes crawling of the site faster not indexing.

    Feature 1: We currently don’t have this feature and recommend adding it manually. If you are a programmer or have one, you can use a filter to achieve this. Here is a sample implementation: https://support.rankmath.com/ticket/autofill-term-name-product-category-as-focus-keywords/?view=all

    Feature 2: We do have an option to bulk edit the SEO details from the all posts page. Please refer to this article: https://rankmath.com/kb/bulk-editing-in-rank-math/

    Hope that helps and please do not hesitate to let us know if you need our assistance with anything else.

    Hello,

    For your first feature request, we created this custom code that will help you set the post title as the focus keyword if you put it in your theme’s functions.php file:

    function update_focus_keywords() {
	$posts = get_posts(array(
	'posts_per_page'	=> -1,
	'post_type'		=> 'post' //replace post with the name of your post type
    ));
	foreach($posts as $p){
		update_post_meta($p->ID,'rank_math_focus_keyword',strtolower(get_the_title($p->ID)));
		
	}
}
add_action( 'init', 'update_focus_keywords' );

    Hope that helps.

    Hello and thank you both for your assistance with this all.

    @Michael Davis, understood on Google’s API vs Indexing. I was hoping they were one and the same. Now, you don’t happen to know of any method where I could bulk-index none-livestreaming and job site pages?

    Regarding the 2nd feature, I went ahead and purchased the PRO version so that I can utilize the bulk keyword edit, thanks :).

    @Uzair, for the custom code, I do have some questions.

      Question 1. If I was to add this to my functions.php file, it will auto-add the keyword for every single new post moving forward, is this correct? And if so; if I was to change the keyword manually within the post after your code has done what it needs to, the newly changed keyword will stick, right?
      Question 2. The Code will only apply to newly created posts, right? I mean, it won’t go back and auto-change all of my old post keywords, correct?

    Thanks again for the assistance.

    Hello,

    Thank you for the follow up.

    For other sites, indexing of sites is done through sitemaps. To index your posts, you will need to submit your sitemap, the main sitemap only with Rank math sitemaps[/sitemap_index.xml]. You will then give it sometime for Google to crawl and update your site.

    As for the code shared, this will add the keyword automatically for all posts on your site. It will need to be customized to affect posts with no keyword or new posts.

    Hope that helps and please do not hesitate to let us know if you need our assistance with anything else.
