Hello,
We apologize for the issue you are facing with the SEO meta description. If you have already input the focus keyword in the SEO meta description and are still seeing the error message, there could be a few reasons for this.
-
Keyword Placement: Ensure that your focus keyword appears within the first 120-160 characters of your meta description. If it is placed outside this range, Rank Math may not recognize it.
-
Custom Meta Description: If you have set a custom meta description, double-check that it is saved correctly. You can do this by navigating to the Rank Math metabox in your post editing screen and ensuring that the description is entered in the correct field.
-
Plugin Conflicts: Sometimes, other plugins can interfere with Rank Math’s functionality. You might want to check for any plugin conflicts that could be causing this issue. You can refer to our knowledgebase article on plugin conflict for guidance.
-
JavaScript Errors: There may be JavaScript-related errors affecting the saving of your SEO settings. You can diagnose these errors using your browser’s console. For more information on how to check for JavaScript errors, please refer to our guide on diagnosing JavaScript-related errors.
If you have checked all these aspects and are still experiencing issues, please reply to this ticket, and a human agent from the Rank Math Support team will assist you further.
Thank you for raising this concern!

Hello Ike,
This is just an error that won’t affect the SEO result, Am I right?
I tried not to do a lot and keep it as simple as possible to prevent any bugs would happen if I install the health check&trouble shooting plugin.
Hello,
Ideally, the health check plugin shouldn’t cause any issues on your site.
You are right, the SEO score is only for your reference and doesn’t affect the actual SEO performance of your site. If you feel any of them don’t apply to your page or you have already done them, you can safely ignore them as search engines test the live version of your site.
Hope that helps, and please do not hesitate to let us know if you need our assistance with anything else.
Hello Ike,
Thank you for being so patient and quickly replying. I decide not to do anything to prevent any unpredictable bugs if it maintains the actual SEO result.
Thank you,
