Hello,
Thank you for contacting Rank Math and bringing your concern to our attention. I’m sorry for any inconvenience this issue may have caused you.
Your homepage is showing on the search results upon searching with that keyword as it displays your latest posts, and they appear on your homepage.
However, if you use the site: operator, you’ll notice that the post is already appearing with the correct URL. You can refer to the screenshot attached in the sensitive data section.
Please note that ranking on Google with your desired keywords/keyphrase depends on so much more than just your on-page optimization. You could have the perfect article and still struggle to break the top 10 in SERPs. Here are some of the factors Google considers when ranking you:
1. Your website’s authority
2. Your content’s quality and how better it is than the other article currently ranking.
3. How competitive the keyword is.
4. How many backlinks do you have and if they are better than what the other guys ranking for that keyword have.
5. Your website’s crawlability.
6. Frequency of new content and content updates.
7. So much more that there is a dedicated blog post on it by Brian Dean:

I would recommend that you keep at it and work on acquiring more links to break into the top SERPs.

Hope that helps.

Hello,
I have updated the sensitive data as requested. Can you please check further?
Thank you.
I am unsatisfied with your previous response, as i am familiar with how posts rank on Google and i am not managing just one website. It seems there is a separate issue that you might be overlooking. Currently, my website only displays the most recent five posts on google search as a title and URL of homepage.Previosuly, these post shows in google search with homepage title and pagination URL.Now these posts change has replaced the pagination pages with the homepage.
Kindly check previous ticket number #598950
My 70 posts ranking and working fine only 5 posts not showing post title and url kindly resolve this.
Ranking can’t chnage the post url kindly check the issue urgently i am facing this issue from the last one month.
Hello,
It seems that Google chooses the homepage because the excerpt is already mentioned there for the desired search phrase and it already does answer the question “who is bella thorne” and so on:
In this case, you would need to make sure that the individual post is much more optimized for that keyword, and if the title on the SERP is not showing the correct information, please note that Google may choose to display a different meta information for your search query result. Google may skip the custom meta data you have set and instead display something from the page’s content that Google thinks better matches the search intent.

Looking forward to helping you.
What the issue you are not answering my above given reply.
Around 18 days ago, I opened a support ticket with Rank Math regarding an issue titled “NoIndex Paginated Pages Not Working” (Ticket Number #598950). When I initially raised the ticket on July 5th, 2023, the problem I encountered was that my latest blog post appeared in the search engine results with the homepage title and the URL of the paginated pages on the post.
In an attempt to resolve the issue, I selected the option “No Paginated Pages in Search Result” and sought clarification from a Rank Math team member named Reinelle. I asked Reinelle why the paginated page URLs were still showing up in the search results for my latest posts, even after enabling the “No index paginated pages” option.
Reinelle responded, explaining that if my paginated pages were already indexed prior to making the changes, it might take some time for them to be removed from the search results.
Currently, my older blog posts, which were published approximately one month ago, are displaying correctly without any issues. I have provided credentials, and I understand the importance of getting this matter resolved.
Hello,
Please check the following term in the Google Search: site:https://www.bbiography.com/who-is-bella-thorne-biography-wiki-bio/
You will see the correct URL, title, and description. However, Google is ranking the homepage instead of the post when you are searching for the search term as the excerpt on the page already satisfies the query of the search term. This is pretty common and there is nothing in the settings of our plugin that can fix that.
The result you are seeing is for your homepage and that’s why you are seeing the title and URL of the homepage.
You will have to change the excerpt of the post that is displayed on the homepage to hide the details so Google can’t find the info related to the search term there and ranks your post instead of the homepage. Please note that it isn’t guaranteed that the post will rank in the same position after making the changes. You can also try optimizing the content of the post to make it more relevant.
Hope this clarifies your doubts. Please don’t hesitate to get in touch in case you need our assistance with anything else.
