Hello,
We apologize for the issue you are facing with the content length warning in Rank Math for your product pages. It seems that you are encountering a message indicating that your product descriptions are below the recommended 600 words, despite the documentation stating that product pages are treated differently.
The documentation does mention that product pages are an exception to the content length test, but it appears that the free version of Rank Math may still apply this check to product pages. This could be a limitation of the free version, as the PRO version has specific recommendations for WooCommerce users, suggesting a minimum of 200 words for product descriptions.
To resolve this, you might consider adding more content to your product descriptions to meet the 600-word threshold or simply acknowledge that this warning may not be applicable to your product pages. If you have further questions or need assistance, please reply to this ticket, and a human agent from the Rank Math Support team will take over and provide more detailed help.
Thank you for raising this concern!

Documentation where I read this didn’t indicate ignoring the 600 word check for products was a pro feature. It clearly states that Rank Math would exclude “any product pages from this test”.
“An obvious exception to this rule is product pages. It is rare to see a product page with thousands of words of content, and Rank Math understands that and excludes any product pages from this test.
…
Note: In the PRO version of Rank Math, WooCommerce users will see Rank Math’s content test recommending 200 words.

Hello,
Apologies for the confusion.
The exclusion you’re referring to is with the Rank Math PRO. In the free version, the test stays the same count, but you can safely ignore it for product pages.
Please note that these tests are only there for your reference to help you in optimizing your pages/post content. If you feel any of them doesn’t apply to your page, please feel free to ignore them.
If you want to completely disable that test on your products, then you can use this filter on your site:
/**
* Filter to disable SEO Contest tests on Products only
*/
add_filter('rank_math/researches/tests', function ($tests, $type) {
if(get_post_type() == 'product'){
unset($tests['lengthContent']);
}
return $tests;
}, 10, 2 );
And here’s a guide to adding the filter to your website:

Looking forward to helping you.
