Hello,
I’m sorry to hear about the issue you’re facing with the ‘noindex’ tag on your homepage. If you’ve already checked the Gutenberg editor and Rank Math settings, as well as the WordPress Reading settings, and everything is marked as ‘index,’ there might be another place where the ‘noindex’ tag is being set.
One additional place to check is the Search Engine Visibility settings in WordPress. To access this, go to Settings → Reading in your WordPress dashboard. Look for the section called Search Engine Visibility and ensure that the checkbox labeled Discourage search engines from indexing this site is unchecked. If it’s checked, it means your website is set to ‘noindex.’

If everything seems correct in these settings and you’re still facing the issue, please let us know, and we’ll be happy to assist further.
Thank you for bringing this to our attention.

Hi, yes I’ve checked that one as well. That box is unchecked.
