Your “Power Words” list is not even accurate

    Good afternoon, I am trying to maintain the SEO of my site, using your tools as a guidance, but I find it to be very inconsistent. My meta title needs a power word in it, I use a power word and it says I still need one. So then I use the one YOUR SITE has listed and it still tells me I need one. I find that very frustrating and I feel as if maybe your “Ranking” and SEO grading is also inconsistent and inaccurate. Please advise on what to do.

  • Hello,

    We apologize for the frustration you’re experiencing with the power words in your meta title. Thank you for raising this concern. It can indeed be challenging when the tools don’t align with your expectations.

    To address the issue, please ensure that the power word you are using is included in the title and that it is recognized by our system. Sometimes, the context in which a power word is used can affect its recognition.

    If you continue to face issues, we recommend checking out our guide on Power Words for more insights on how to effectively use them in your titles. Additionally, you can utilize the Fix with AI feature in Rank Math, which can help suggest appropriate power words based on your content.

    If the problem persists, please reply to this ticket with your site URL so that a human agent from our support team can assist you further and investigate the inconsistency you’re facing.

    Thank you for your understanding, and we appreciate your patience as we work to resolve this issue!

    I literally used a power word from the provided list.

    Hello,

    Apologies for the inconvenience.

    Could you please share the power words you have used so we can check? Also, please share the affected URL if it has already been published/posted.

    Meanwhile, are you using a page builder on your site (Elementor, Divi, etc.)?

    Looking forward to helping you.

    Hi, thank you for your response. I’ve used several words on the list provided, such as Durable, Discover, and so on. It wouldn’t make sense to share the post with you because I changed the power word to one that rank math would recognize (unfortunately a power word I have to repeatedly use). I use Elementor as a page builder.

    Please advise me on what I can do differently to adhere to Rankmath’s requirements and have better SEO.

    Thanks again!

    Hello,

    The word “Durable” is currently not in the list of default power words. Please add it to the list by using the following filter code:

    /**
     * Filter to add custom Power Words
     */
    add_filter( 'rank_math/metabox/power_words', function( $words ){
    	$new_words = [
    		'durable'
    	];
    	return array_merge( $words, $new_words );
    });

    You may refer to this guide on how to add filters to your website: https://rankmath.com/kb/wordpress-hooks-actions-filters/

    As for the word “Discover”, we tried this from our local setup and it seems Rank Math has detected it as a power word. See screenshot:
