Hello,
We apologize for the issue you are facing with your website rankings despite using Rank Math SEO. There could be several factors affecting your site’s performance in search engines. Here are some troubleshooting steps and tips to consider:
-
Check for Google Penalties: Ensure that your site hasn’t been penalized by Google for any reason, such as using black hat SEO tactics or having low-quality content. You can review Google’s quality guidelines to ensure compliance.
-
Content Quality: Make sure your content is high-quality, relevant, and provides value to users. Google prioritizes content that is helpful and informative. If your content is thin or poorly written, it may not rank well.
-
Keyword Optimization: While you mentioned using the right keywords, it’s essential to ensure they are strategically placed in titles, headings, and throughout the content without keyword stuffing.
-
Technical SEO Issues: Check for any technical issues on your site that might hinder its performance. This includes ensuring that your site is mobile-friendly, has a fast loading speed, and does not have broken links.
-
Backlinks: Evaluate your backlink profile. Low-quality or spammy backlinks can negatively impact your rankings. Focus on building high-quality inbound links from reputable sources.
-
Indexing Issues: Use Google Search Console to check if your pages are indexed correctly. If they are not indexed, they won’t appear in search results.
-
Schema Markup: Ensure that your Schema Markup is correctly implemented. You can test it using Google’s Rich Results Testing Tool to identify any issues.
-
Patience: Lastly, remember that SEO takes time. Even after making improvements, it may take weeks or months to see significant changes in rankings.

Hello,
Thank you for contacting us and sorry for any inconvenience that might have been caused due to that.
Please note that ranking on Google 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:
1. Your website’s authority
2. Your content’s quality and how better it is than the other article currently ranking.
3. How competitive the keyword is.
4. How many backlinks you have and if they are better than what the other guys ranking for that keyword have.
5. Your website’s crawlability.
6. Frequency of new content and content updates.
7. So much more that there is a dedicated blog post on it by Brian Dean 🙂 https://backlinko.com/google-ranking-factors
