focus keyword (phrase) – why should they be connecting?

    Hi there,
    I just switched from Yoast to Rank Math, and did take all the data to Rank Math. However, I do need to go through all my posts to have them ranked as that data didn’t transfer, mainly the keywords are needing updates. So I am looking at the keywords and the phrases or words that I chose per post are not compatible according to RM. For example, if my keyword was ‘recipe for baby’ and the title is ‘Check out this awesome recipe for your baby’, RM says my keyword is not in the title. So, should the keywords be connecting in a sentence?
    That would be very different from what I’ve learned thus far about SEO and keywords. Please let me know as this would mean I need to rewrite all posts…
    Thanks.
    Kind regards,
    Hanneke

  • Hello,

    Thank you for contacting Rank Math and bringing your concern to our attention. I’m sorry for the delay and for any inconvenience this issue may have caused you.

    To pass this test, the primary focus keyword you have set should have an exact match on the words you have set in your title.

    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. These are just guidelines and one does not need to follow them religiously.

    Since you have migrated from Yoast, the tests work when you open the post or page and then the JS for calculating the test runs. When the test runs and you hit the update button, the score gets propagated to the list view as well.

    You will need to open the page, let the tests run, make optimizations based on our recommendations, save the post/product and the score will get propagated to the pages/posts list view as well.

    I hope that helps. Thank you, and please don’t hesitate to contact us anytime if you need further assistance with anything else.
