Why my blog post is showing on Google

Hello,

I apologize for the issue you are facing with your blog post not showing up on Google. There can be several reasons why your blog post is not indexed or published. Here are some steps you can take to troubleshoot the issue:

1. Check if Your URL is Indexed: Make sure that your URL has not been indexed by Google. You can do this by searching for your URL directly in Google Search. If it appears, it is indexed; if not, it may need more time or adjustments.

2. Noindex Attribute: Ensure that your post does not have a noindex attribute set, which would prevent it from being indexed by search engines. You can check this in the Rank Math settings for that specific post.

3. WordPress Global Settings: Verify your WordPress global settings to ensure that search engines are allowed to index your site. This can be found in the Reading settings of your WordPress dashboard.

4. Robots.txt File: Check your robots.txt file to ensure that it allows Google to crawl your site. If there are restrictions, Google may not index your pages.

5. Crawl Budget: Sometimes, Google assigns a crawl budget based on your site’s authority and posting frequency. If you have a new site or infrequent posts, it may take longer for Google to crawl and index your content.

6. Manual Indexing Request: If you believe everything is set correctly, you can request indexing through Google Search Console. This can sometimes expedite the process.

7. Patience: Lastly, it’s important to remember that it can take time for Google to index new content, sometimes up to a few weeks.
