Fantastic video. I have a little doubt. So method number 2 is for automation right? Let's say if I publish, delete, add, or update anything on my website from now on, it will be notified to Google and Bing, right? I never have to do manual things by visiting the plugin or searching the console. If that's true it's awesome. But I hope I am right here. Also, if I delete or uninstall the plugin, will the automation feature disappear and I have to do everything manually again?

[@RankMath]

Hello, thank you for your comment. Yes, method 2 is the automation part. And If you’re using the Analytics feature of Rank Math, Rank Math will automatically submit the sitemap to Google Search Console. You don’t need to manually submit your sitemap as we walked you through in the previous method. rankmath.com/kb/submit-sitemap-to-google/ Regarding your question about uninstalling the plugin, if you delete or uninstall Rank Math, the automation features will indeed disappear. If you reinstall Rank Math later, you may need to set up the automation features again. Hope that helps and please do not hesitate to let us know if you need our assistance with anything else.

Hello, I have a question. At 7:38 on the Instant Indexing settings your screen shows a submit url's section. I have RankMath Pro but I do not see this option on my version, and yes I have updated to the latest version of the plugin. Could you check into this for me? Thanks! 😀

[@RankMath]

Hello, thank you for your comment. Can you submit a support ticket here: rankmath.com/support/ so that our team can look into this closely? Looking forward to helping you.

[@simplymoneymagnet]

thanks for this. I just migrated to rank math. I wanted to know whether it makes sense to us rank math with the index now and site kit?

[@RankMath]

Hello, thank you for your comment, You can keep using both plugins. You just need to make sure that you use only one plugin to add the analytics code to your site to avoid duplicate stats tracking in your GA account. If you are already using Site Kit to add the analytics code to your site, please make sure that the Install Analytics Code option is disabled in WP Dashboard > Rank Math > General Settings > Analytics. Hope that helps. Let us know if you need any other assistance.

[@serafineh.]

Hello, thans for the video Jack. Meditation definitely helps with everything if done right 😊. I have a question how do I stop google search engine from crawling /feed. We have an ecommerce woo site and I see in search console that those feed is not indexed but it keeps crawling it. There was some sort of code snippet to redirect the rss feed to homepage but I thought it was not right so, I just removed it some time ago. Now I see that google keeps crawling /feed and /add-to-cart. I could miss this. I would like google to concentrate on indexing my product pages, which it does, but just not to spend crawl budget on this /feed and other parameters. How to cleanup this crawl and optimize crawl budget? I read that one of the seo plugins has this option but, if rankmath woudl introduce it it would be nice. Or if you could explain how to do it in wordpress 😊

[@RankMath]

Hello, thank you for your comment, To stop Google from crawling specific pages or parameters on your website you can use the robots.txt file. To do this, you'll need to add the following code to your robots.txt file: Disallow: */feed/ Disallow: *?add-to-cart* It is important to monitor your website's performance and see the effect of these changes on your website's search engine rankings. Hope that helps, and please do not hesitate to let us know if you need our assistance with anything else.

[@PMK3187]

Hi is the instant indexing plugin still relevant now as there appears to be the option directly on the rank math pro plugin or is this something else ?

[@RankMath]

Hello, thank you for your comment. The Instant Indexing plugin is a standalone plugin that uses the Google Indexing API to submit new and updated pages to Google for indexing immediately. This can be helpful for websites with time-sensitive content, such as news websites or e-commerce websites with new products. The Instant Indexing option that you see when you install Rank Math is for IndexNow that submits pages to Bing and other search engines. You can learn more about it here: rankmath.com/kb/how-to-use-indexnow/ If you still have any questions, just reply and we will be more than happy to clarify any doubts you might have.

Jack, what "money websites" means when you talk about Google Indexing API? Thank you!

[@RankMath]

Hello, thank you for your comment. A money website is a website that generates revenue through advertising, affiliate marketing, or other means. Looking forward to helping you.

I recently went from being on page 1 for many of the keywords I wanted to on page 4-7 of google search. It's been awful blow, and it's hard to pinpoint the problem due to so many simultaneous issues. 1st I made the switch to rankmath but my SEO specialist forgot to transfer all the meta data and such from Yoast... 2nd the server my site is being hosted on (Siteground believe it or not) had some major issues and three days in a row I was getting 500 code errors 3rd I started doing keyword cannibalization on myself (before knowing about it) in an attempt to get ranked higher. 4th I also used rating schema on my own business before realizing that Google considers that a no no After correcting all these issues, do you think I'll have to re-earn my sites credibility over time or will all that authority we previously had come back? I'm losing sleep because all those changes were done in an attempt to promote my business as I'm opening a new branch and didn't want to bleed rent money without new revenue coming in from fresh visitors.

[@grasshopperweb]

I'm also curious if anyone has had enough experience to know which of these likely hurt us the most

[@RankMath]

Hello, thank you for your comment, It sounds like you've encountered a number of issues that can negatively impact your website's search engine rankings. Changing the SEO plugin, experiencing server errors, keyword cannibalization, and using rating Schema on your own business are all factors that can contribute to a drop in rankings. Correcting these issues is a step in the right direction, but it's important to note that it can take time for your website's rankings to recover. The process of re-earning your site's credibility and authority can take several weeks or even months, depending on the severity of the issues. Google's algorithm is very complex, and it takes time to re-evaluate and re-rank your website. It's important to be patient and to continue to make efforts to improve your website's SEO, such as creating high-quality content, optimizing your website's pages and images, and building backlinks from reputable websites. It's also best practice to monitor your website's performance and use the right analytics tools and keep an eye on your website's search engine rankings to ensure that they are recovering. Hope that helps, and please do not hesitate to let us know if you need our assistance with anything else.

I’ve a few Questions. That I still need to understand from my end.. 1: Does single Schema works in individual post ?, or only post Schame is Available for no pro user.. Eg: I’ve one Article about reviews, the other a normal Article. Can I apply schema to both the individual post, or would I need to pro version of it to do… 2: How do I link my own article to other article I’m talking about?? How’s process done ? 3: As you might be aware, rank math has “Instant Inxdex on each of its published post”by clicking that button; will it get indexed Asp?

[@RankMath]

Hello, thank you for your comment, 1. Yes, having a single Schema works well for posts. Rank Math offers 13 Pre-defined Schema types in the Free version, and we recommend choosing the most relevant Schema type for your articles. We have a complete guide to adding Schema to your posts here: rankmath.com/kb/rich-snippets/ 2. The Link Suggestion feature of Rank Math works based on the Pillar Content feature. With the Pillar Content feature, only posts/pages/CPTs can be marked Pillar Content, and the Link Suggestion box shows the links of those posts/pages/CPTs when certain conditions are met. You can refer to the above guide for more details. rankmath.com/kb/pillar-content-internal-linking/ 3. The plugin just makes sure to submit the URL instantly to the indexing API, but it is still Google’s decision if they want to crawl or index the URL or not. And it is completely up to Google how long they take to index your site. Please don’t hesitate to let us know if you need our assistance with anything else.
