    Another great video would be more in depth on how to fix certain issues such as indexing issues, page redirects, canonical, etc. as I would like to learn this stuff, cause many freelancers say they are experts but just "re-index" my pages without fixing the issues really. So this would be super helpful. Thank you so much for your great videos .

    Thank you so much for pointing out that shady link building will get you nowhere! I agree that it's a common misconception that the more links, the better. Better, higher-quality content is always the key in SEO. It will pay off in the long run, too.

      Hello, thank you for your comment,
      The TOC Block by Rank Math does not support toggles as of now.
      For TOC Toggles, you can try to Ultimate Blocks plugin. It's also fully compatible with Rank Math. Here's the link: rankmath.com/compatibility/ultimate-blocks/
      Hope that helps. Let us know if you need any other assistance.

    Good morning,
    Does your plugin work well with the AVADA theme?
    and its fusion builder?
    Thanks to you !

    • @RankMath
      @RankMath  6 หลายเดือนก่อน

      Hello, and thanks for your comment.
      Rank Math is not fully compatible with Avada in that respect. Please contact Avada support and share the following document for how to enable compatibility with Rank Math: rankmath.com/kb/content-analysis-api/
      Many known companies have already added the compatibility, as it takes a few hours:
      rankmath.com/compatibility/themify-builder/
      rankmath.com/compatibility/page-builder-framework/
      rankmath.com/compatibility/flothemes/
      Hope that helps. Please let us know if you have questions.

    I am switching from Yoast. And I think this is all I needed to make the move. Thank you. Why only 15 AI credits though? Why not unlimited?

    • @RankMath
      @RankMath  ปีที่แล้ว

      Hello, Thank you for your comment.
      While 15 AI credits may seem limited, it's important to remember that AI technology is still relatively new and resource-intensive. Even with limited credits, Content AI can still provide valuable insights and optimizations to improve your website's SEO.
      We have a detailed tutorial on How to use Rank Math’s Content AI here: rankmath.com/kb/how-to-use-content-ai/

    Hello ! I have a question :
    Do the keywords matter to google ? Or is it just for US, to know that we use our keywords enough time in our page ?
    A guy said that google and others don't Search from our keywords, but go directly to our site. Can it be true ?
    Thanks for the video !

    • @RankMath
      @RankMath  ปีที่แล้ว

      Hello, Thank you for your comment. The focus keyword is only used for content analysis and generating an SEO score. It has no direct impact on your site’s SEO performance. So if you choose not to add a focus keyword on a page, it will not have any negative effect on its SEO performance. Please refer to this knowledgebase article for more information: rankmath.com/kb/how-to-find-keywords-your-website-ranks-for/
      I hope that helps. If you run into any issues, open a support ticket and we would love to help you sort it: rankmath.com/support/We are here to help.

    Ok, so this is something new I noticed here that doesn't make sense to me... You mention in this video at 14:13 "do not link to any other pages in different categories unless necessary."
    This is the first and only time I have heard this advice, please elaborate on this...?

    • @RankMath
      @RankMath  ปีที่แล้ว

      Hello, Thank you for your comment.
      In this video, we are encouraging our users to have a good Site structure and, more specifically, the Silo structure to improve the topical relevance. Adding links to categories that are not relevant to a Silo may dilute the link juice, and the recommendations were made for this reason.
      You can refer to our dedicated video on this specific Silo structure: th-cam.com/video/5EkSj0nrCpg/w-d-xo.html

    You plugin shows red if keyword use only once, how about that?

    • @RankMath
      @RankMath  ปีที่แล้ว

      Hello, thank you for your comment.
      Our Content AI shows alongside the number of times a keyword is recommended to use. You can check this resource for more details: rankmath.com/kb/how-to-use-content-ai/#keywords
      Alternatively, If you're referring to the keyword density test in Rank Math, then it depends upon the length of your content. We recommend having a keyword density of 1% to 1.5% to clear this test. You can learn more about it here: rankmath.com/kb/score-100-in-tests/#keyword-density-primary-and-secondary-focus-keywords
      Hope that helps!

    What is a google penalty?

    • @RankMath
      @RankMath  ปีที่แล้ว

      Hello, thank you for your comment.
      Based on modifications made to Google's search algorithms, a website's rankings may suffer from a "Google Penalty." An algorithm update or suspicion of using black-hat SEO strategies like questionable links or keyword stuffing might result in penalties. Learn more about the recent Google algorithm changes that may result in penalties.
