  • Hello,

    Thank you for contacting Rank Math support today and bringing your concern to our attention.

    There are many reasons why you are getting traffic from the wrong country, one common reason is you are getting bot traffic from an unwanted country. This could due to an attempt to look for a vulnerability in your website.

    Also, kindly check your local SEO settings if you are currently targeting the wrong country.

    With that said, here is a checklist I suggest you should focus on to ensure that you are targeting the right country for your website:

    1. Domain Name Extension.
    2. Google Search console Geo-Targeting.
    3. Web Hosting Server Location.
    4. Backlinks.
    5. Local SEO Using Google my business.
    6. Submit Website To Local Search Engines & Directories.

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

    Thank you for your response.
    Can you give me your suggestion for an attempt at a vulnerability?

    Also, I already worked on all recommendations from you including:

    Setting up Geo-Targeting IN GSC.
    Backlinks.
    Google My Business Listing.
    Local Search Engines & Directories.

    But not getting the exact one that i need. Can i share the website link with you to check?

    Hello,

    Can you give me your suggestion for an attempt at a vulnerability?

    Kindly contact your hosting provider as they are in the best position to help you with regard to this. If they offer a malware scanner, you may go ahead and scan your website.

    You may share your website URL in the Sensitive Data section so we can take a closer look at your site.

    Looking forward to helping you on this one.

    just sharing you link

    Hello,

    I can check that everything else is fine on your site except your sitemap. Your main sitemap only includes us_portfolio-sitemap and that too is empty. Please navigate to WP Dashboard > Rank Math > Sitemap Settings and make sure that the Include in Sitemap option is enabled for all the post types you want to index.

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