Hello @abolfazltofiqi,

Thank you for contacting Rank Math support.

The site is currently returning a “Connection Timed Out” error, so we can check the on-page SEO setup. Please note that ranking on Google and getting traffic 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 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 🙂 https://backlinko.com/google-ranking-factors

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

Hello @prizraki,

The URL you want to exclude is the archive URL of the post type, not the category URL. You will have to use the following filter to exclude it from the sitemap:

add_filter( 'rank_math/sitemap/post_type_archive_link', function( $archive_url, $post_type ) {

	if ( 'yslygi' === $post_type ) {
		return false;
	}

	return $archive_url;

}, 10, 2 );

Here is how to add a filter to your site: https://rankmath.com/kb/wordpress-hooks-actions-filters/

Once done, you will have to save the Permalinks settings to flush the rewrite rules. If you want to set the page to noindex, you can use the following filter:

add_filter( 'rank_math/frontend/robots', function( $robots ) {
	if(is_post_type_archive('yslygi')) {
		$robots['index'] = 'noindex';
	}
	return $robots;
});

Hope that helps and please do not hesitate to let us know if you need our assistance with anything else.

Hello @nealumphred,

The Add Missing ALT Attributes option only adds the ALT text to the images that don’t have an ALT text set. If the image already has an ALT text, our plugin will not overwrite it.

Please do not hesitate to let us know if you need our assistance with anything else.

Hello @ma3ry,

As we mentioned before this could be a processing delay/error on Google’s end and it is shown as “Couldn’t fetch”. Since the sitemap is working fine and Googlebot can crawl it, there is nothing you need to fix on your end. You will have to wait for Google to update the status in your GSC account.

Please do not hesitate to let us know if you need our assistance with anything else.

Hello @enersens,

Thank you for sharing your feedback.

To clarify, the Rank Math PRO pricing page clearly mentions that the plan includes a 15-day trial of Content AI. The trial is disclosed during the purchase process and is not intended to be hidden or activated without notice.

We understand your concern regarding the charge after the trial period, especially if you did not receive the trial expiration email. If the notification email did not reach your inbox, we can certainly understand how the renewal may have been unexpected.

Please contact our Accounts team at [email protected] using the email address associated with your Rank Math account. We’ll review the charge and, if the Content AI subscription was not something you intended to continue, we’ll be happy to assist you with a refund.

Thank you for bringing this to our attention. We appreciate your feedback and the opportunity to make this right.
