Hi there,
Thank you for reaching out to Rank Math and sorry for any confusion that might have been caused due to that.
Your question is about the index and noindex options in Rank Math. These options let you control whether you want a page on your website to be indexed by search engines or not.
Indexing means that search engines will crawl and store your page in their database, and show it in the search results when someone searches for a relevant query. Noindexing means that search engines will ignore your page and not show it in the search results.
The answer to your question will depend on your goal. If you want your page to be visible on Google and other search engines, you should use the index option. This will tell search engines that your page is important and relevant, and that you want it to be ranked for your target keywords.
If you don’t want your page to be visible on Google and other search engines, you should use the noindex option. This will tell search engines that your page is not important or relevant, and that you don’t want it to be ranked for any keywords. You might use this option for pages that are private, duplicate, or low-quality.
To change the index or noindex option for a page, you need to follow these steps:
- Go to the WordPress dashboard and edit the page that you want to change the option for.
- Scroll down to the Rank Math meta box and click on the Advanced tab.
- Under the Robots Meta section, you can see a drop-down menu with different options. Choose either Index or Noindex depending on your goal.
- Save your changes and update the page.
We hope this helps and thank you for choosing Rank Math!
I meant what is “add focus keyword” I already entered title and meta description for my website so why do I need to add focus keywords? See the image I sent you in my first post.
Hello,
Thank you for your follow-up question. The focus keyword is the search term that you want your post or page to rank for in the search engines. It helps you optimize your content for that keyword and get feedback from Rank Math on how to improve your SEO score. You can add up to 5 focus keywords per post with Rank Math.
To add a focus keyword in Rank Math, you need to go to the General tab of the Rank Math SEO meta box and enter your keyword in the Focus Keyword field. You can also use the Google Autocomplete feature to get suggestions for relevant keywords.
The focus keyword is different from the title and meta description, which are the elements that appear in the search results and entice users to click on your link. The focus keyword is not visible to users, but it helps Rank Math analyze your content and give you recommendations.
