Hello,
We apologize for the issue you are facing with your website. It sounds like there may have been some complications during the transition from Yoast to Rank Math, especially regarding your sitemap and indexing status.
To resolve the issue with your sitemap and ensure that your important pages are indexed correctly, please follow these steps:
-
Check Your Sitemap: Ensure that your sitemap is generated correctly by Rank Math. You can find your sitemap at `https://rankmath.com/kb/redirect-all-amp-pages-to-non-amp-pages/. Make sure that all important pages are listed there.
-
Submit Your Sitemap to Google: If your sitemap is correct, submit it to Google Search Console. This will help Google crawl and index your pages more effectively. You can do this by going to the Sitemaps section in Google Search Console and entering your sitemap URL.
-
Check for Noindex Tags: Ensure that none of your important pages have a "noindex" tag set. You can check this in the Rank Math settings for each page.
-
Recalculate SEO Scores: After switching to Rank Math, it might be helpful to recalculate the SEO scores for your posts. You can do this in the Rank Math dashboard under the Status & Tools section.
-
Use the 404 Monitor: Check if any of your important pages are showing up as 404 errors in the Rank Math 404 Monitor. If they are, you may need to set up redirects or fix any broken links.
If you continue to experience issues or if you would like a more comprehensive setup, we recommend considering our professional setup service, which ensures that your plugin is configured correctly according to the latest SEO standards. You can find more information about this service here.
