Incorrect “The Focus Keyword doesn’t appear in the content.”

Hello,

I apologize for the issues you are facing with Rank Math. Based on the information you provided, it seems like there might be a misunderstanding in the test results. Let’s address each of the concerns you raised:

1. “Use the Focus Keyword at the beginning of your content”: According to Rank Math’s guidelines, the primary focus keyword should be present in the first 10% of your post. Since you mentioned it appears within the first 10% of your content, this test should pass.

2. “The Focus Keyword doesn’t appear in the content”: You mentioned that the focus keyword “alternatives to VMware” appears multiple times in the content and once in the title. This should fulfill the requirement, so this test should pass as well.

3. “The content should be 600-2500 words long”: You mentioned that your content is 825 words long, which falls within the recommended range of 600-2500 words. Therefore, this test should also pass.

Given the information you provided, it seems like your content meets the criteria for these tests. If you are still experiencing issues or receiving incorrect results, I recommend double-checking the content and running the tests again within Rank Math.

If the problem persists, please reply to this ticket, and a human agent from the Rank Math Support team will assist you further.

Thank you for bringing this to our attention.

Best regards.
