    Hello,

    We apologize for the issue you are facing with your website and the manual action due to major spam. It can be quite distressing, especially when your livelihood depends on it.

    Reasons for Manual Action

    Manual actions are typically imposed by Google when they detect spammy content or practices on your site. In your case, it seems that the query pages being generated may be contributing to this issue. These pages can often be indexed by search engines, leading to penalties if they contain low-quality or spammy content.

    Stopping Query Pages

    To prevent these query pages from being indexed, we recommend using the Rank Math plugin to set them to "noindex." Here’s how you can do that:

    1. Go to Rank Math SEO in your WordPress dashboard.
    2. Navigate to Titles & Meta > Misc Pages.
    3. Enable the Noindex Search Results option.

    This setting will help ensure that these query pages are not indexed by search engines, which should help mitigate the spam issue.

    If you would like a more comprehensive analysis and setup of your Rank Math plugin, we offer a professional setup service. This service is designed for users who want to ensure their plugin setup is fully correct and adheres to the latest SEO standards. You can find more information and sign up for this service at Rank Math Services. Please note that this service requires a PRO subscription.

    The internal search link you shared is already set to noindex.

    In this case, we recommend running a security scan on your site and checking if there is malware that is causing the issue.

    You can also get in touch with your web host for assistance.

    Hello,

    While Rank Math can set these query URLs to noindex, the generation of such URLs is typically caused by your theme, a plugin, or even malicious code.

    To stop them from being created, we recommend:

    – Reviewing and updating your theme and plugins.

    – Running a full malware/security scan (tools like Wordfence or Sucuri can help).

    – Checking with your hosting provider for unusual activity.

    Unfortunately, Rank Math does not offer malware cleanup services, but we’re here to guide you with SEO-related issues anytime.

    Don’t hesitate to let us know if you need our assistance with anything else.

    Hello,

    Since you’ve already filed a reconsideration request and submitted the necessary proof, the next step is to patiently wait for Google’s response as it may take some time.

    In the meantime, ensure your site is fully secure and no further spammy or low-quality content is being generated. Cleaning up the cause and preventing future issues is key.

    We can’t directly assist with manual action removal, but we’re here to help with any SEO-related concerns you may have.

    Don’t hesitate to get in touch with us if you have any other questions.

    Hello,

    We checked the website and only a few pages are indexed on Google, though we can see that several of the pages on the website are set to index.

    Please provide a screenshot of your Google Search Console’s Page Indexing Report so we can check.

    To share the screenshot, you can use a tool like https://imgur.com/. This will allow us to better understand the situation and provide the appropriate support.

    You can also request the indexing of your pages by passing it through the URL Inspection Tool and request it there: https://developers.google.com/search/docs/crawling-indexing/ask-google-to-recrawl. The tool will also let you know if there are any issues with the website that prevent the pages from getting indexed.

    Meanwhile, we have provided some guides you can follow to ensure your website keeps showing up on Google search results: https://rankmath.com/kb/google-index/ and https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_YYecHEIwMs

    Don’t hesitate to let us know if you have any other questions.
