    Hi! Thanks for the good component; it’s very useful.

    I have a few questions.

    It looks like in the Block editor Rank Math doesn’t correctly count the keyword entry and in addition in the preview it does not display the link that I entered. Do you know how to fix thix bug?
    Here is a screenshot https://disk.yandex.ru/i/3sKXcyBJ4HAfuw

    If I use several words as the main key (How To Hide IP Without VPN for example), then I continue to write Keyword Density is low, the Focus Keyword and combination appears 3 times., but it is strange to write such a long combination 10 times, the resulting sentences are very spammed.

    How many external links (dofollow and nofollow) per word count do you need to pass the external link check?

  • Hello,

    We apologize for the issues you are facing with the Block Editor in Rank Math. Thank you for your kind words about the component; we appreciate your feedback!

    Regarding the keyword entry count and the link preview issue, it seems like there might be a bug affecting how Rank Math interacts with the Block Editor. We recommend replying to your ticket with the details you’ve provided, including the screenshot link, so a human agent from our support team can assist you further.

    As for your question about using multiple words as the main keyword, it’s true that having a long focus keyword can lead to challenges with keyword density. It’s generally recommended to keep your focus keywords concise and relevant to avoid spammy content. A keyword density of around 1% to 1.5% is usually sufficient, but it’s important to maintain natural language in your writing.

    Regarding external links, while there isn’t a strict rule for how many dofollow or nofollow links you should have per word count, it’s good practice to include a few relevant external links to enhance your content’s credibility. Aim for a balance that feels natural and supports your content without overloading it with links.

    If you have any more questions or need further assistance, please feel free to reply to your ticket, and our team will be happy to help!

    Hello,

    Thank you for contacting us. We apologize for any inconvenience this issue may have caused.

    From the image you shared, the slugs in the Classic Editor and Block Editor are different. In the Classic, the slug is /how-to-hide-ip-address-without-vpn, while the Block Editor has /how-to-hide-ip-without-vpn-quick-and-easy-ways. Please note that the Rank Math content analysis test checks for an exact word match.

    2. Concerning the keyword density, adding a phrase like “How To Hide IP Without VPN” multiple times can feel unnatural and can result in keyword stuffing, which is not good for SEO.

    3. Concerning the internal and external link ratio, most SEO advice, including from Google, stresses focusing on quality and relevance over counting links. That said, Rank Math expects at least a 2:1 internal links to external links ratio per page.

    Please note that the SEO analysis and score are only for your reference and don’t affect the actual SEO performance of your site. If you feel any of them don’t apply to your page or you have already done them, you can safely ignore them, as search engines test the live version of your site.

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