How to Properly Set Up Rank Math SEO for a New Website?

Hello,

We apologize for the issues you’re facing with setting up Rank Math for your new website. Thank you for reaching out with your questions! Here’s a comprehensive guide to help you set up Rank Math properly:

1. Targeting Local Keywords

To effectively target local keywords like "Globe SIM registration," you should:

• Set the Default Country: Go to Rank Math SEO → General Settings → Content AI and set the default country to the Philippines. This will help tailor keyword suggestions to your local audience.
• Use Local Keywords in Content: Incorporate local keywords naturally in your content, titles, and meta descriptions.

2. Enabling Modules

While it might be tempting to enable all modules, it’s best to focus on essentials initially:

• Sitemap: Essential for search engines to index your site.
• Redirections: Useful for managing broken links and improving user experience.
• Schema: Important for enhancing search visibility with rich snippets.

You can enable additional modules as you grow and understand your needs better.

3. Using Content AI

To improve topical authority using Rank Math’s Content AI:

• Enable the Content AI Module: This will provide insights and suggestions based on your focus keywords.
• Analyze Suggestions: Use the suggestions from Content AI to enhance your content structure, including headings and relevant questions that can be answered in your posts. You can find more details on how to use Content AI here.

4. Optimizing FAQs and Rich Snippets

To optimize FAQs and increase the chances of appearing in AI Overviews and featured snippets:

• Use the FAQ Block: Rank Math allows you to create an FAQ block easily. Make sure to answer common questions related to your topic.
• Enable Schema for FAQs: Ensure that the Schema module is active so that the corresponding FAQ Schema is added automatically. This helps search engines understand your content better.
• Answer Relevant Questions: Use the questions suggested by Content AI to create valuable content that addresses user queries directly.
