Hello,
Thank you for contacting Rank Math support.
I’m sorry that you’re having trouble with removing some pages from Google search results. Looks like your website is currently down, but I understand that you have set those pages to noindex using Rank Math. However, this may not be enough to remove them from Google’s index quickly.
Setting a page to noindex tells Google not to index the page, but it doesn’t tell Google to remove the page if it’s already indexed. To do that, you need to either delete the page and serve a 404 (not found) or 410 (gone) status code, or use the Remove Outdated Content tool in Google Search Console.
Deleting the page and serving a 404 or 410 status code will tell Google that the page no longer exists and should be removed from the index. However, this may take some time and the page may still show in search results until Google re-crawls your site.
Using the Remove Outdated Content tool will let you request Google to remove the page from its index. You can find more information about these methods here: https://support.google.com/websearch/answer/11080680?hl=en
I hope this helps you to remove those pages from Google search results. If you have any more questions or doubts, please feel free to ask me. I’m here to help you.
Thank you for choosing Rank Math.
