    Hello,

    I have used on all our clients websites Yoast, but recently starting migrate some new websites to RankMath and also and existing website. The thing is what i want to now for sure is the following. We migrate from Yoast to Rankmath it will automatically migrate the SEO title, meta distribution, focus Keyphrase and all the other seo settings right? But on the existing website i first need to open every page and click on RankMath and save it again. Is this necessary to do or will it automatically be good? Because if i don’t do that the RankMath indicator stays grey.

  • Hello,

    Thank you for contacting Rank Math support and bringing your concern to our attention.

    Yes during the migration process, Rank Math will only import your SEO metadata, such as SEO titles, descriptions, focus keywords, etc. but to generate the SEO score you will have to edit and update the posts.

    Our plugin needs to run the tests to generate the Score and the tests only run when your content is completely loaded in the post editor. Once you edit and update the posts, you will be able to see the data/score in the post list view.

    Hope this helps.
    Please let us know if you need help with anything else.

    Oke thanks for your reply.

    If i don’t update the post because it is a lot of post is that a problem then? Or will be the SEO settings automatically been added tho the post from Yoast and is the score only for my prepose? Or is it necessary that the score is active for the search engines?

    Hello,

    Search engines do not care about the SEO scores. The scores are calculated only for your reference to show you the optimization level of the content.

    Rank Math would add all the necessary meta tags to all the posts/pages/CPTs even if their SEO scores are not calculated.

    If you feel that the existing posts are already well optimized, you can avoid updating them and continue working on the newer ones.

    Hope that helps.

    Thank you.

    Oke thanks for updating me!
