    I want to switch from Yoast to rank math, I have installed rank math and imported the data from Yoast, but I found out that focus keywords are not imported.

    I haven’t deactivated Yoast yet.

    What should I do to import the focus keywords from Yoast?

    Hi Anas,

    I followed these instructions, but I couldn’t find ” Deactivate Yoast SEO Plugin” in The Rank Math Setup Wizard, should I deactivate the Yoast event before I start with the rank math setup wizard? and will this cause me to lose all Yoast data?

    Hello,

    There should not be any data loss as the Yoast plugin is still active, and your data are still saved in your database.

    Since the keywords were not imported during the setup wizard process, head over to Rank Math > Status & Tools > Import & Export > Other plugins section and import the post meta like in this image

    Yoast

    It is recommended to deactivate the conflicting plugin before starting the setup wizard process. However, you can deactivate it later if the data are still not imported.

    Let us know how this goes.

    Thank you.

    I followed all the steps but focus keywords are not imported. I used setup wizard and import and export from status and tools option no luck same problem no focus keyword is importing. Any other methods to resolve this issue
