Hello,
Thanks for contacting us, and sorry for any inconvenience that might have been caused due to that.
Since those pages are already deleted, you can apply a 410 redirect to those pages to tell Google that those pages have been deleted.
Please follow the guide below to learn more:

Thanks for your response. It is helpful. But since I am not a pro with Rank math or Wp, do you mind guiding me on how to apply 410 please? I followed the link you sent me but it is not a “how to” instructions.
Thanks for your help!

Once you have entered the deleted URLs in the Source URLs, then you should choose the 410 content deleted in the Maintenance Code section
Hope that helps.
Thank you.
I appreciate your help with everything. Thanks!!!
one more question please:
Is there a way to set my website “keyword” with Rank Math at all?
When some types my website keyword: “church today” in google search, it does not show up. Please help!

Hello,
Glad that helped.
Regarding the keywords, please note that ranking on Google 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:

I would recommend that you keep at it and work on acquiring more links to break into the top SERPs. Here are a few resources I think you will find useful while devising an SEO strategy.
