Why is my cover page not appearing on DuckDuck Go?

Hello,

We apologize for the issue you are facing with your website not appearing correctly on DuckDuck Go. It can be concerning when your main page is not indexed or displayed in search results.

There are several potential reasons why your website might not be showing up as expected:

1. Blocked from Crawling: Ensure that your website is not accidentally blocking search engines from crawling it. Check your robots.txt file to confirm that there are no directives preventing access to your site. You can use the robots.txt testing tool to verify this.

2. Not Indexed Yet: If your website is new, it may take some time for search engines to index it. You can expedite this process by using our Instant Indexing plugin for Google to submit your URLs directly.

3. Sitemap Submission: Make sure you have submitted a sitemap to search engines. Rank Math automatically creates a Sitemap Index for your website, which can be found at https://yourdomainname/sitemap_index.xml. Submitting this sitemap can help search engines find and index all your pages more efficiently.

4. Quality of Content: Ensure that your website has high-quality, relevant content. Low-quality content can affect how search engines rank your pages. Google’s algorithms prioritize the best content, so it’s essential to maintain high standards.

5. Duplicate Content: If you have multiple pages with similar content, it may lead to indexing issues. Using canonical tags can help indicate which page should be prioritized in search results.

If you continue to experience issues, we recommend replying to this ticket, and a human agent from the Rank Math Support team will assist you further.

Thank you for raising this concern, and we hope to help you resolve it soon!
