the page does not index

Hello, we apologize for the issue you are facing with your page not being indexed. The message you are seeing indicates that there is a noindex directive in the meta tags of your page, which instructs search engines not to index it.

Here are a few steps you can take to resolve this issue:

1. Check Rank Math Settings: Ensure that the Rank Math plugin is configured correctly. Go to Rank Math SEO → Titles & Meta and check the settings for your posts, pages, and custom post types to ensure that they are set to index.

2. Check Page Settings: In the page editor, open the Rank Math Metabox and navigate to the Advanced tab. Make sure that the Robots Meta tag is set to Index instead of No Index.
   

3. Global WordPress Settings: Also, check your global WordPress settings by going to Settings → Reading and ensure that the option to discourage search engines from indexing your site is unchecked.
   

4. Conflicts with Other Plugins: Since you mentioned using another SEO plugin, there might be a conflict between Rank Math and that plugin. If possible, try deactivating the other SEO plugin temporarily to see if that resolves the issue.

If you have checked all these settings and the problem persists, please reply to this ticket with your site URL so we can assist you further. A human agent from our support team will take over and help you resolve this issue. Thank you for raising this concern!

Hello,

Thank you for contacting Rank Math and sorry for any inconvenience that might have been caused due to that.

Can you please share the URL of the pages you are having this issue with so we can further assist you?

Several settings in WordPress and Rank Math control the indexing of posts and pages. You need to make sure that these settings are configured correctly.

To address this issue, we recommend checking the WordPress settings directly to ensure that the “Discourage search engines from indexing this site” option is unchecked. You can access this setting by navigating to Settings → Reading in your WordPress dashboard and ensuring that the checkbox is unchecked, as shown in the image below:

Let us know how it goes. Looking forward to helping you.

Thank you.

Hello,

If Google can crawl your site, then other search engines should be able to as well.

In this case, ensure that you’re not blocking their bots in your robots.txt:

Also, ranking on Google with your desired keywords/keyphrases 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:

Looking forward to helping you.

Hello,

Rank Math doesn’t block indexing on its own. If switching plugins made an immediate difference, it’s likely due to how each plugin handles meta tags or conflicts with your theme or other plugins.

We’d love to investigate further, if you can share the URL and allow us temporary access, we can pinpoint the cause. Also, with Rank Math active, please clear your website caches and submit the affected URL to the URL inspection tool. See if there’s any error that hinders the indexing.

Looking forward to helping you.

Hello,

We modified the snippet to remove the metarobot line on your site to the following:

add_action( 'wp_head', function() {
    ob_start(function($buffer) {
        // Replace the meta robots tag with "index, follow"
        $buffer = preg_replace('/<meta name="robots" content="[^"]*" ?\/?>/i', '<meta name="robots" content="index, follow" />', $buffer);
        return $buffer;
    });
}, 0);

Your homepage is now set to index, other pages have been set to inde all this while.

To enable us dig deeper into why this issue might have been happening we will need access to your FTP.

To do so please edit the first post on this ticket and share the FTP login details in the sensitive data section.

Thank you.
