Hi there,
Thank you for contacting Rank Math support. We are sorry to hear that you are facing some issues with our plugin.
To answer your first question, if you do not renew your Rank Math Pro subscription, you will not lose any of the data or settings that you have created with the Pro version. However, you will not be able to use some of the Pro features, such as keyword rank tracking, advanced schema generator, etc. You will also not receive any updates or support for the Pro version.
Regarding your second question, we want to assure you that Rank Math or any other SEO plugin cannot cause a traffic or ranking drop by itself. Rank Math only helps you optimize your site for search engines and social media, but it does not control how Google or other search engines rank your site.
There could be many reasons why your Google impressions and keywords have dropped after updating the plugin. Some of the possible causes are:
- Google algorithm changes or penalties
- Technical issues with your site or server
- Changes in your site structure or content
- Increased competition or seasonality
- Incorrect settings or configuration of Rank Math
To troubleshoot this issue, we suggest that you follow these steps:
- Check your Google Search Console and Analytics reports for any errors, warnings, or notices that might affect your site’s performance.
- Verify that your site is properly indexed and crawled by Google. You can use the URL Inspection tool in Google Search Console to check the status of any URL on your site.
- Make sure that your sitemap is up to date and submitted to Google. You can find your sitemap URL in Rank Math > Sitemap Settings and submit it in Google Search Console > Sitemaps.
- Review your Rank Math settings and make sure that they are optimized for SEO. You can use the Setup Wizard in Rank Math > Dashboard to configure the plugin according to your site’s needs. You can find more information on how how to set up Rank Math properly here: https://rankmath.com/kb/how-to-setup/
We hope this helps you resolve the issue and improve your site’s ranking. If you need any further assistance, please let us know. We are always happy to help.
Thank you for choosing Rank Math!
