…nothing about this response makes me think this suggestion will ever make it to the eyes of an actual human. In fact, it reads very much like a brush off!!
An acknowledgement is great, but beyond that I’m sure I’m not alone in a complete lack of faith that your ChatBot will tell the developers about my suggestion – especially since your chatbot, which gave me nearly a word-for-word identical response, specifically said it could NOT send my suggestion to the development team.
So, yes – I think a HUMAN needs to see this.
Hello,
Thank you for contacting Rank Math support.
Google by default does not ignore hyphens in keywords so to offer the best test that is as identical as Google ranking system as possible, Rank Math also does not ignore hyphens. Our Content Alaysis tool looks for the identical keyword in your content, including any hyphen.
We hope this helps clarify the issue. Please let us know if you have any other questions or concerns.
