  • Hello,

    Thank you for your query and we are so sorry about the trouble this must have caused.

    We use Google’s latest ranking factors that pertain to one’s on-page content, to determine if the content is well-optimized, and assign a score based on various tests we run on the content.

    You can follow the following guide to reach 100 scores:
    https://rankmath.com/kb/score-100-in-tests/

    But please stay advised that these tests are just guidelines, and one does not need to follow them religiously.

    At the end of the day, the content needs to be written for the readers and not for the search engines.

    Scoring higher points in Rank Math’s tests won’t guarantee higher rankings.

    Also, there could be various reasons for this, such as lack of relevant content, low-quality backlinks, poor website design, or strong competition. We suggest conducting a thorough audit of your website to identify any areas that may need improvement.

    You can start by analyzing your website’s content and ensuring that it is relevant, high-quality, and optimized with the right keywords. You should also focus on building high-quality backlinks from reputable websites in your niche. Additionally, make sure your website is mobile-friendly and has a fast loading time to improve user experience.

    Another important factor is the level of competition for the keywords you are targeting. If there are many established companies in your niche with a strong online presence, it may take longer to rank higher in search engine results.

    We hope this information helps. Please do not hesitate to let us know if you need my assistance with anything else.

    Hello,

    Circling back to your issue, can you please confirm if the scores will only change after you save your post? If so, please check if your meta is not saving properly which you check using this guide: https://rankmath.com/kb/meta-data-not-saving/

    Also, if you see the difference between the scores on your post list page and in our Analytic’s Site Analytics tab (Rank Math > Analytics > Site Analytics), please follow these steps:

    1. Recalculate Scores: https://rankmath.com/kb/rank-math-status-and-tools/#recalculate-seo-score-for-posts
    2. Rebuild Index: https://rankmath.com/kb/rank-math-status-and-tools/#rebuild-index-for-analytics

    Lastly, if the issue persists, let us know if you are using any page builder to construct your content.

    Looking forward to helping you.
