SEO Issues on Lightstone Homes Site Using Rank Math

Hello,

We apologize for the issues you are facing with Rank Math on your Lightstone Homes website. Thank you for raising these concerns. Here’s how you can address each of the problems:

1. Sitemap Exclusions

If certain essential pages are missing from your sitemap, ensure that:

• The pages are set to Public and not set to Noindex.
• There are no custom canonicals that might be affecting their visibility in the sitemap. If you have custom canonicals, consider removing them to allow Rank Math to generate the canonical URLs correctly.
• Check your robots.txt file to ensure there are no rules blocking these pages. You can do this by going to Rank Math SEO → General Settings → robots.txt.

2. Focus Keyword Reporting

For the focus keyword reporting issues, make sure:

• The keyword “Lightstone Homes” is included in key areas such as the title, headings, and content of the page.
• You can also check for any plugin conflicts that might be affecting the keyword analysis using the Health Check plugin.

3. 404 Errors and Redirects

If some 301 redirects are failing:

• Verify that the redirects are correctly set up in Rank Math under Rank Math → Redirections.
• Ensure that there are no conflicting rules in your .htaccess file or server configuration that might be causing issues with the redirects.

4. Rich Snippet Errors

For rich snippets not displaying properly:

• Use Google’s Rich Results Testing Tool to check for any errors in your structured data.
• Ensure that the structured data is implemented correctly on your pages and that they comply with Google’s structured data guidelines.

If these steps do not resolve your issues, please reply to this ticket, and a human agent from the Rank Math Support team will assist you further. We’re here to help!
