Hello,
We apologize for the issue you are facing with your SEO score on your pages. It sounds frustrating to see such a drastic drop in the score after revisiting the page.
This issue may be related to how content is rendered in different environments, especially if you are using a page builder. Rank Math scores can vary between the WordPress editor and page builders due to the way content is loaded. We recommend checking the score displayed inside the page builder to ensure your page/post is fully SEO optimized.
If the problem persists, please reply to this ticket, and a human agent from the Rank Math Support team will take over and assist you further.
Thank you for raising this concern!

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

Let us know how this goes.
I am not having issues with saving metadata and do not have any of the issues listed in the article. My data saves but when I open the page if the score is 80 it will drop to red.
Hello,
In this case, we might need to take a closer look at the settings. Please edit the first post on this ticket and include your WordPress logins in the designated Sensitive Data section.
Please do take a complete backup of your website before sharing the information with us.
It is completely secure and only our support staff has access to that section. If you want, you can use the below plugin to generate a temporary login URL to your website and share that with us instead:

You can use the above plugin in conjunction with the WP Security Audit Log to monitor what changes our staff might make on your website (if any):

We really look forward to helping you.
Hello,
I have updated the sensitive data as requested. Can you please check further?
Thank you.
Hi, there has been no update since I sent the login
Hello,
Sorry for the delay. We would like to check this issue closely.
Can you please share the specific page/post or is it happening everywhere? We tried removing a focus keyword from a post and saving it and the score hasn’t changed.
Also, can you please confirm if the affected page/post is created using Bricks page builder?
Looking forward to helping you.
It’s in all pages. The rank was over 80 in all and when I opened them again it dropped to less than 50. Yes, they all use bricks builder
Hello,
We’ve recently seen some issues with the Bricks Builder where our content analysis doesn’t work properly with it.
According to Bricks Builder, they have already integrated our Content Analysis API in their plugin but as the issue is still occurring on your pages, we suggest you get in touch with their support and inform them so they can improve the integration to fix it.
However, please note that 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 don’t hesitate to let us know if you have any other questions.
Thank you.
