      I was using the Yoast plugin and for more than ten years and my keywords were always in the top twenty with many in the top five. I then moved over to rank math plugin and things were fine. Then i saw all my posts and pages go our of serps with not a single page in seps.

      I looked at the plugin and saw that it was still working fine but my subscription ran out two months previous.

      none of my brand news articles appear in serps. All my posts are indexed but not one of them in serps and not one of my keywords are ranked.

      Can anyone please let me know what to do to solve this

        I also think this i due to the latest Google update. Many websites have lost their traffic and many post have disappeared even if they are as you say indexed. I would start as mentioned above by checking Google search console, if there are no errors then i belive this is a sign of bad quality content and would recommend to go throw your articles to se if they really give the user what they searched for.

            If your posts have vanished from SERPs, it can be due to various reasons such as algorithm updates, penalties, or technical issues on your website. Start by checking Google Search Console for any messages or warnings. Ensure your site complies with Google's guidelines, fix any potential issues like broken links or duplicate content, and consider updating and optimizing your content. You might also want to audit your backlinks and remove any low-quality ones.

            For professional help, consider consulting with an experienced SEO company like *Softsolstechnologies**. They can provide a thorough analysis and implement strategies to help recover your rankings.

              Hi there, so there have been some massive Google algorithm updates recently.

              There was one in March, there was one called the *Google helpful content update*. So, these were huge massive Google updates.

              Now it could be that during the ranking flux, after the update rolled out had rolled out, it substantially changed where your business ranks on Google.

              Do contact an SEO company for advice, it might mean posts need improving, to make them rank higher, does this help you?
