Hello, we apologize for the issue you are facing regarding your Rank Math score. Rank Math does not typically consider links in the footer when evaluating your content for external links. The scoring system primarily focuses on the main content area of your posts or pages.
To improve your score, it’s recommended to include external links directly within the body of your content rather than relying solely on footer links. This approach not only helps with SEO but also enhances user experience by providing relevant resources within the context of your content.
If you have further questions or need assistance, please feel free to reply to this ticket, and a human agent from the Rank Math Support team will assist you further!

Thank you for contacting us and sorry for any inconvenience that might have been caused due to that.

Hope that helps and please don’t hesitate to let us know if you have any other questions.
Thank you.
