SEO Score is Off

    I have a few posts that suddenly dropped to a poor SEO score rating. When investigating it is saying things like “keywords not in the title” or “title doesn’t contain a number”. However, they not only were fine before, but they are also still okay, nothing has changed. Rank Math isn’t recognizing it being there. Also, one post actually showed a title changed to the title of a different post. This only appears in the rank math version of the snippet, not on the actual site.

    my site is https://www.pardonmemycrownslipped.com

    Hello,

    I’ve checked some of your posts, but I’m unable to replicate the issue. Please refer to the screencast attached in the sensitive data section.

    Could you please share the affected post URL/s as well so we can check?

    Looking forward to helping you.

    Thank you.

    Hello,

    The SEO title is actually the title you see in the snippet and if you check carefully, there is a difference between the focus keyword. Please refer to the screenshot in the sensitive data section.

    The “the” word is currently missing in your focus keyword and to pass the test, the keywords should contain an exact match in the SEO title.

    The same goes for the second URL you shared.

    Hope that helps.

    Thank you.

    It does, however, tons of them changed without me doing anything. Some have words added like “the” before teen, that you saw. Some posts have titles in the snippet that are the title to my other posts instead. I am busy fixing them all.

    Hello,

    If you have titles from other posts in the snippets, it is likely because you use post duplication plugin which carries over the Rank Math meta titles to new posts. If you wish use post duplication, be sure to delete duplicated titles, meta and other things from the new posts.

    Hope that helps. Please let us know if you have questions.

    I have manually changed them. I don’t have any plug-ins that do post-duplication.

    Hello,

    I checked your site once more and it looks like there are now remaining posts with an incorrect keyword missing from title message. If there are still posts with this or other issues, please share the URLs and details so we can check.

    Looking forward to helping you.
