snippet problem

Hello, I’m sorry to hear that you’re experiencing issues with your snippets. It’s great that you’re looking to improve the visibility of your articles on Google.

To get your news articles to appear in snippets at the top of Google, you can use Rank Math’s News Sitemap feature. This feature is available in the Rank Math plugin and does not require purchasing the plugin again.

To set it up, you can follow these steps:

1. Install and activate the Rank Math plugin if you haven’t already.
2. Navigate to WordPress Dashboard → Rank Math SEO → Dashboard → News Sitemap from the WordPress menu.
3. Enable the News Sitemap option.
4. Ensure that the Sitemap module is also enabled.

For a detailed guide on creating a Google News sitemap using Rank Math, you can refer to our article How to create a Google News sitemap using Rank Math.

By following these steps, you should be able to improve the visibility of your articles in Google snippets. If you have any further questions or need assistance with the setup, please feel free to ask.

Hello,

Thank you for your patience.

Please note that ranking on Google with your desired keywords/keyphrase depends on so much more than just your on-page optimization. You could have the perfect article and still struggle to break the top 10 in SERPs. Here are some of the factors Google considers when ranking you:

1. Your website’s authority
2. Your content’s quality and how better it is than the other article currently ranking.
3. How competitive the keyword is.
4. How many backlinks do you have and if they are better than what the other guys ranking for that keyword have.
5. Your website’s crawlability.
6. Frequency of new content and content updates.
7. So much more that there is a dedicated blog post on it by Brian Dean:

I would recommend that you keep at it and work on acquiring more links to break into the top SERPs.

Also, you should check your Google Search Console coverage section to determine any issues reported on your URLs:

Hope that helps.

Hello,

Assuming that you have followed this guide to setup your News Sitemap, please share some of the news article here that currently isn’t indexing on Google.

We are looking forward to helping you.

Hello,

We’re sorry for any trouble you’re having.

We get what you’re saying, you want your posts to show up at the top of Google. But the thing is, so does everyone else. And Google can only put one URL on top, and it picks the best one based on a lot of different factors and calculations, like how good your on-page SEO is, how many backlinks you have, how trustworthy your site is, and so on.

Rank Math (and other SEO plugins like Yoast) can help you with the on-page SEO part. That means making sure your posts have the right keywords, titles, descriptions, images, etc. But you still need to work on getting more backlinks, building your reputation, and other stuff to boost your rankings and get to the top of the search results. You can learn more about this here.

If we’re still not getting your question right, then please give us more details so we can help you better. You can also send us some screenshots by uploading them to a site like Imgur, and then sharing the link with us here.

Thanks for your understanding and cooperation. We hope to hear from you soon.

Hello,

Please share a screenshot of the snippets you are referring to with us.

You can share images with us by uploading them to an image hosting site like Imgur, and then sharing the generated URL with us here.

Looking forward to hearing back from you.

Hello,

We think you’re talking about the Google Quick Answer snippets. These are the boxes that show up at the top of the search results, sometimes with a short answer or a summary of a web page.

We understand that you want your content to appear in these snippets because they can get you more traffic and exposure. But it’s not that easy, because Google has to pick one website out of millions that match the user’s query. And Google has a lot of factors to consider, such as how relevant, accurate, and trustworthy your content is, how well your website is structured and optimized, and so on.

Rank Math can help you with some of these factors, such as making sure your content has the right keywords, titles, descriptions, and schema markup. But you still need to work on other things, such as getting more backlinks, improving your reputation, and creating high-quality content that answers the user’s questions.

We hope this makes sense to you. If you have any more questions or concerns, please don’t hesitate to contact us again. We’re always happy to help you.

Hello,

Google automatically generates those snippets from the content on the page. Your site should have enough authority and quality content for that. There is no specific Schema type for that. If you check the Schema of your competitor, they are not using the Article Schema for the page: https://search.google.com/test/rich-results/result?id=wJyEZd9J9_bKFaaJz4h7VQ

You will have to publish quality content, improve your domain authority, and build quality backlinks to make your site eligible for such snippets.

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