Rank Not Seeing My Focus Keywords

    Hello,

    Let me start by saying I am new to using your plugin. As I get into this a couple things have jumped out at me and left me scratching my head. On one particular page, Rank tells me my focus keyword doesn’t appear at the beginning of my content…but it does. Rank tells me my focus keyword doesn’t appear in the content whatsoever…but it does. Same is true for H2 H3 H4 subheadings. As for density….the focus keyword appears 6 times on the about page.

    Further perplexing me is Rank tells me the focus keyword doesn’t appear in the URL! While I can understand it should for a blog post, in my experience that is not the case for the main pages of a website which are conventionally Home, About Us, Our Services, FAQ, Contact Us which is the case for my site.

    What’s more is Rank is telling me essentially there isn’t enough content on some pages…particularly the Contact Us page and the FAQ page, there too it’s not seeing my content correct;y and telling me my focus keyword isn’t included in the content.

    So I guess what I am trying to say is…am I doing something wrong that Rank doesn’t see my content correctly and therefore is giving me a lower score than otherwise?

    Please advise and direct me to some sort of tutorial regarding PAGES and not Blog Posts. Posts in my opinion are a different animal in terms of the frequency of us of focus keywords compared to a standard webpage. There are only so many times you can use certain terms before it becomes unnatural.

    Thanks

    Michael

    Hello,

    Could you please confirm you are on the latest version of the Rank Math? The latest version is v1.0.80

    Please clear the website cache and Rank Math Transients by going to Rank Math > Status & Tools > Database Tools > Remove transients

    Let us know if the issue persists.

    We are here to assist you.

    I am using the latest version of Rank Math…I have cleared the transients…working on clearing the cache but that’s a little more complicated. I’ve cleared the Divi cache but do I need to go to the server as well?

    Ok I cleared the cache in wordpress for the site and reloaded the page in Divi editor and opened the Rank Math interface and I am still experiencing the same problem. It’s not seeing the focus keyword in my content and the other issues I initially described.

    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 & FTP logins in the designated Sensitive Data section.

    Please do take a complete backup of your website before sharing the information with us.
    Sensitive Data Section

    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:

    https://wordpress.org/plugins/temporary-login-without-password/

    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):

    https://wordpress.org/plugins/wp-security-audit-log/

    We really look forward to helping you.

    Thank you.

    Hello,

    I have updated the sensitive data as requested. Can you please check further?

    Thank you.

    Done:

    However PLEASE advise me in advance of making MAJOR changes to either my wordpress or changes through the ftp

    My client’s website is now LIVE so we don’t want to screw that up.

    Thank You

    Hello,

    I can check that you are using Divi builder for your pages. This is a known issue with the latest updates of Divi. The content analysis doesn’t work properly when Header and Footer templates are enabled. Elegant Themes are already aware of the issue. Since the integration of the content analysis API has been done by them, they will be able to modify it according to the current features of their theme.

    So, you will have to wait for them to release a fix. Please don’t hesitate to get in touch in case you need any other assistance.

    Thanks.

    Hello,
