Could you check if some of your settings are set badly?
I don’t want a custom work of the settings from you, but to find out why Google indexes the pages but excludes them from any ranking. Even when the results are very few. I expect at least the last place in some results, but instead they are absolute zero.
I have been using Rank Math and Wpforms for 4 years. I have changed the site at 99.9%, deleted almost 15k games. The site is completely different, except for these 2 plugins. I also had the same problems with the old site and I had these 2 plugins.
it is obvious that the problems come from you and that Search Console refuses to validate the corrections. I have done a lot of SEO, many corrections. it is impossible not to get results in the online gaming sector. The problem is not the difficulty of the keywords, because I have also put games with little traffic and low difficulty of the keywords.
Search Console fails to validate redirects, duplicates, 404 codes. As if Rank Math doesn’t do a good job. But I have other problems too.
I recently disabled Instant Indexing entirely to see if that was it, but I doubt it was that.

Hello,
We apologize for the issues you are facing with your website’s indexing and ranking. It sounds frustrating, especially after all the changes you’ve made.
There are several factors that could contribute to Google indexing your pages but not ranking them:
-
Meta Tags and SEO Settings: Ensure that your meta tags are set up correctly. Incorrect settings can lead to poor indexing. You can refer to our detailed tutorial on how to set up Rank Math properly: How to Setup Rank Math.
-
Duplicate Content: If there is duplicate content on your site, it may be penalized by Google. Make sure all content is original and relevant. You can use canonical tags to indicate the original content if necessary. More information on this can be found here: Change Canonical URL.
-
Sitemap Submission: Ensure that you have submitted your sitemap correctly to Google Search Console. Rank Math automatically creates a Sitemap Index for your website, which can be found at
https://yourdomainname/sitemap_index.xml. Submitting this can help Google crawl your pages more effectively. -
Manual Actions: Check your Google Search Console for any manual actions that may have been taken against your site. If there are any penalties, you will need to address those issues.
-
Algorithm Updates: Keep in mind that Google frequently updates its algorithms, which can affect rankings. You can check if your traffic drop correlates with any updates using Rank Math PRO features.
If you’ve already tried these steps and are still facing issues, we recommend replying to this ticket so a human agent from the Rank Math Support team can assist you further.
Thank you for bringing this concern to our attention, and we hope to help you resolve it soon!
