SEO Analysis glaring issues

    Hello.

    I have a published piece with a title of “Is Paying A Credit Card Early Helpful?”.

    In the SEO analysis, under the Tite Readability section, I get an x and a message “Your title doesn’t contain a power word. Add at least one.”

    The interesting part, however, is that in the article on the Rank math site that is linked to in this analysis line clearly has the word “helpful” listed in the Power Word listing–https://rankmath.com/blog/power-words/ section 12.

    https://ibb.co/YkV1ycC–screen shot of error.

    Similarly, I have another article with the focus keyword literally and the opening sentence, yet in the basic SEO section, I get a message saying “Focus Keyword doesn’t appear at the beginning of your content”

    https://ibb.co/wSt39ym–screen shot of error

    I’m just curious if these are common issues with the analysis tool. I really don’t care very much about a “score” but I’m testing it out and if something as blatantly erroneous as these is getting ignored, I can’t help but wonder if other things are “broken” and need attention.

    Hello,

    Thank you for contacting Rank Math today.

    For the power word to be recognized, please add a space between it and the question mark at the end: Is Paying A Credit Card Early Helpful ?

    As for the focus keyword, are using any page builder? Please note the keyword is recognized if used exactly as it appears in the keyword list.

    If the issue persists, share some additional screenshots or disable hotlinking on the ones you shared, I can’t seem to be able to access them.

    Looking forward to helping you. Thank you.

    Thanks for the response.

    For the power word in the title solution, that just doesn’t make sense because it would look bad as punctuations come immediately after the final character. Perhaps a dev suggestion/feedback to ignore punctuation in those situations would be possible.

    Regarding the focus keyword, I am not using any type of page builder, just WordPress and Genesis framework/child. It works for every other article, just not this one and I’m using the same exact formatting at what is listed as the keyword in the plugin.

    Hi Eric,

    I can see one issue but not the other one.

    The power word is detected correctly:

    But I see the issue with the analytics not detecting the focus keyword in the first 10% of content if the focus keyword has a dot.

    I have alerted our dev team and we will have a fix for this issue ASAP.

    Please bear with us while we fix this.

    I’m also seeing that variations of words aren’t being detected either?

    For instance, tip vs tips show up the same for search purposes but Rank Math doesn’t recognize them as being the same.

    I literally have “money saving tips” as a focus keyword but have “money saving tip” in my title and URL with neither being marked green in the SEO analysis. If you use the Google Keyword Planner tool and search for both terms only one will show because they are viewed as being the same.

    As soon as I add the “s” to Tip in the title, the Analyzer turns green.

    You can see it here: https://ibb.co/Yh8NK9x

    Now, this is a draft still but I’m inclined to think that this fact shouldn’t matter, correct?

    Hi,

    Yes, the feature is currently created that way to keep everything fast and snappy. We are aware that it is not the best solution and that is why in an upcoming update – you will be able to do so much more with the focus keywords and their detection. Without giving too much away, it will support LSI as well.

    We would appreciate your patience in this matter.

    Yeah, absolutely!

    If I make a suggestion, perhaps pushing an email or some kind of notice to let users know about issues that the dev team is aware of and what is being worked oo–and possibly a time frame–so that we don’t waste support’s time with these issues 🙂

    (unless there is already something posted someplace, but I didn’t see it on the blog or in any emails)
