Hello,

Thanks for contacting us, and sorry for any inconvenience that might have been caused due to that.

While searching your domain name on Google, I was unable to replicate the category name with the text “category” on SERPs.

For the issues reported on GSC, can you please share the affected URLs with us? So that we can investigate the issue further for you.

Since your site URLs are already indexed and you want to rank it better, you can follow this guide to see if there are any notable SEO factors you’ve missed out on somehow and needs to improve them:

Also, please note that there are many factors besides on-page optimization that have an impact on your Google ranking. Here are some of the factors Google considers when ranking your website:
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 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

All of our category urls showing with the name “category” on SERP, one of the effects URLs is. https://techinfact.com/category/gaming/. and all other URls are added to the main header menu on the site.

Hello,

To remove the word “category” from your category URLs, head over to Rank Math > General Settings > Links and enable the Strip Category Base option.

Here’s a link for more information:

Hope that helps.

Thank you.

Hi,
I have updated the recommended settings on the days you told me to do the above settings. But still, it has not been updated in the search console. Is there still any error?

Hello,

I’ve checked your category URLs, and they still contain the word “category” from your category pages.

If you have enabled the option, the link https://techinfact.com/category/gaming/ should become https://techinfact.com/gaming/.

Could you please confirm if you have another plugin for modifying your URLs/permalinks which could hinder the strip category base settings? You can follow our troubleshooting guide here to determine that:
https://rankmath.com/kb/check-plugin-conflicts/

Meanwhile, the category is not appearing on your links on the search results page upon checking

Let us know how this goes.

Thank you.
