“Basic SEO” tips not increasing score

    I’m having trouble with your plugin. I don’t understand how the “Basic SEO” helplines actually work. I do as they suggest, but they do not update or give any higher score. If you want me to upgrade to Pro, the basic version gotta show some sign of working well.

    If the score is 61 for example, with 4 out of 6 suggestions not followed, and then you do what it suggests, the score does not increase, nor does the suggestions turn green.

    How am I supposed to know what to do?

  • Hello,

    We apologize for the issue you are facing with the Rank Math plugin. It can be frustrating when the "Basic SEO" tips do not seem to reflect the changes you are making.

    Here are a few things to consider:

    1. Ensure All Suggestions Are Followed: Make sure that you have followed all the suggestions provided in the Basic SEO section. If there are still suggestions that are not marked as completed, your score will not increase.

    2. Check for Conflicting Settings: Sometimes, other settings or plugins may conflict with Rank Math. Ensure that there are no conflicting SEO settings that might be affecting your score.

    3. Refresh and Recheck: After making changes based on the suggestions, refresh your post or page and check if the score updates. Sometimes, it may take a moment for the changes to reflect.

    4. Consider Content Quality: While following the suggestions is important, also ensure that your content is engaging and valuable to readers, as this can impact your overall SEO performance.

    5. Color Codes: The color codes next to each suggestion indicate how well you are optimizing for those specific areas. If they remain red or yellow, it means further optimization is needed.

    If you continue to experience issues after trying these steps, we recommend replying to this ticket, and a human agent from the Rank Math Support team will assist you further. Thank you for raising this concern, and we appreciate your patience as we work to resolve it!
