Help with Danish letters and SEO

    Hi,

    I’m preparing a WordPress site for a Danish client – and I have a problem with the Danish letter Æ, Ø and Å and Rank Math’s SEO-analyzing.

    When the Danish letters Æ, Ø and Å are part of the title, WordPress automatically changes these letters in the URL: Æ=ae – Ø=oe – Å=a
    So that’s fine!

    BUT Rank Math SEO does not recognize this, when the focus keyword also contains a word with the three Danish letters. So we will get the message “Focus Keyword not found in the URL”.
    That will leads the users of the website to try and fix this – and they shouldn’t.

    EXAMPLE:
    Title: Børnelitteratur i forskellige æstetiske dragter
    URL: /boernelitteratur-i-forskellige-aestetiske-dragter
    Focus keyword: børnelitteratur

    Rank Math does not recognize “børnelitteratur” as part of the URL.

    Is there any way I can change the settings of the analyzer? So that this won’t affect the SEO results shown for the WordPress-user? (in terms of search engines everything should be fine)

    Best,
    Christian

    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.

    Yes, our plugin checks for the exact match of the keyword/keyphrase that you use, but Google is smart enough to detect all the keywords and combinations used in your content and rank your page accordingly.

    Also, these tests are just guidelines, and one does not need to follow them religiously. If you feel any of them doesn’t apply to your page, please feel free to ignore them.

    In this case, you can always have these tests disabled using our guide here as well:

    And here’s how you can add the filter to your site:

    Hope that helps.

    Thank you.
