Website tagged “noindex” but should be “indexed”

    Hi,

    Google Search Console is detecting noindex tags on my site https://kingofmidtown.io and when I look at the code, I see “nofollow, noindex”. The thing is, I don’t have “noindex” enabled. I enabled “index” everywhere where it is possible, on the individual pages and in the Rank Math Settings.

    Any idea why “noindex” is still showing up?

    Thanks!

  • Hello,

    Thank you for reaching out to Rank Math support. We are sorry to hear that you are having trouble with the indexation of your website.

    The indexation of your homepage is controlled by several settings in WordPress and Rank Math. You need to make sure that these settings are configured correctly to allow search engines to index your homepage.

    To check and adjust these settings, please follow these steps:

    • Go to WordPress Dashboard > Settings > Reading > Search engine visibility and make sure that the Discourage search engines from indexing this site is unticked
    • Go to Rank Math > Titles & Meta > Homepage > Homepage Robots Meta and make sure the Index checkbox is enabled
    • If you are using a static page as your homepage, go to WordPress Dashboard > Pages and edit the page that you have set as your homepage. On the edit screen, scroll down to the Rank Math metabox and click on the Advanced tab. Here, you will see a dropdown menu that says “Robots Meta”. Make sure that this menu is set to “Index”. This will also enable the index option for your homepage.
    • We hope this helps you fix the issue with the indexation of your homepage. Please let us know if this works for you or if you need any further assistance. We are always happy to help.

      Thank you for choosing Rank Math.

    It was the Search Engine Visibility Setting that was checked. Didn’t even know this was an option.
    Thanks for the help!
