I recently set up a 301 redirect using RankMath SEO from one URL (https://m-zahid.com/top-10-best-seo-experts-in-pakistan-2024-updated/) to another (https://m-zahid.com/10-best-seo-experts-in-pakistan/). It’s been over a week, but the old URL still appears in search results, and the new URL is not indexed yet. I’ve double-checked the RankMath settings, and the redirect seems to be properly configured, but I’m still facing this issue. Is there something in RankMath I might have missed, like cache settings or a conflict with another plugin? Any insights on how to resolve this redirect issue with RankMath would be really helpful!

Hello,
Thank you for contacting Rank Math support.
The URL is redirecting correctly. However, it can take some time for Google to recrawl the old URL, detect the redirection, and remove it from the SERPs. This isn’t something that you can control using SEO plugins, and you must wait for Google to recrawl the URL.
Also, the new URL is already indexed in the SERPs:
Hope that helps and please do not hesitate to let us know if you need our assistance with anything else.
Hello,
The URL will just end up in redirected status if you submit it to your GSC account.
In this case, you can utilize the page removal tool in your Google Search Console account to remove the old URL from the search results page
Here’s a link for more information:

Looking forward to helping you.
