Focus Keyword

    My posts titles are something like this.

    Post Heading – Author

    Now in focus keyword if I put post title as it is like “Post Heading – Author” is gets orange and score gets 51 to 53
    But if I put post title without dash like, “Post Heading Author” then score doesn’t cross red bar and stays in red.

    Well the keywords are same as post title, it’s just the dash (-) I’m excluding in focus keyword from the post title.
    So my query is, does it make any difference in SEO using dash or not in focus keyword?

    My second query is, few of my post link doesn’t appear in google search results, instead post’s category or Tag page appears. Does it have anything to do with Rank Math plugin? Or the focus keyword stuffing?

    Thank you.

    Hello,

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

    I am sorry but currently Rank math only recognizes keywords if they are used exactly as defined. Our dev team is working on improving this feature. The keywords and tests are mainly for your reference and you may choose to ignore if they don’t apply in your case. The score doesn’t affect your page ranking.

    On your second query, please try searching for your posts as: site:https://yourpostUrl and check if your posts appear. You can also share some URLs so we can look into this from our end.

    Looking forward to helping you. Thank you.

    Hi there!

    This is a problem I come across frequently. I’m German, and we use a lot of hyphens to make long words more readable. For example, we would write something like “Marketing-Agency” instead of “Marketing Agency” because the correct German word is the equivalent to “Marketingagency”.

    However, it’s a universal problem that SEO Plugins don’t recognize both versions.

    I would hugely appreciate if you could eventually fix this. Thank you! 🙂
