Keyphrase in introduction: Your keyphrase or its synonyms do not appear

    Hi –

    I get this alert on my homepage: Keyphrase in introduction: Your keyphrase or its synonyms do not appear in the first paragraph. Make sure the topic is clear immediately.

    However, I have my keyphrase (Brand Awareness Advertising) as my site tagline, which is the 2nd text to appear on the page (right after the site title).

    Is this just a Yoast issue with it not seeing a Tagline as text properly, or is there some blocker that will hurt the search engines’ ability to see my tagline text? Should I do anything differently with how it’s displayed? (I’m also kinda wondering the same for my Site Title/Company Name with the first text on the page).

    Thanks!
    -Rick

    Hi @rabell,

    Thanks for using Yoast SEO and also for reaching out to us.

    There are some special cases where our plugin isn’t able to detect the focus keyphrase in the first paragraph. Usually, this assessment shows when the first paragraph is not the first element in your article (i.e., there is an image before the first paragraph or if you are using any page builders which is not parsing the content to the Yoast SEO analysis). Please, refer to this help center article for more information:?Warning: Focus keyphrase not in the first paragraph.

    Kindly note that Yoast SEO analyzes the default WordPress content areas like the title, URL, the main content box (WordPress editor). If you are adding your content through other plugin or theme content boxes (as most page builders do), Yoast SEO may not be able to detect it by default. Currently, we are compatible with the Elementor page builder. The?Yoast SEO Elementor integration?is free to use for everyone; no premium or add-on is required for core functionality.

    If you are using another page builder, please understand that page builders commonly use a custom editor designed by their team. Because plugins rely on the default editor, some page builders make the data entered into their editor available in the default editor. In these cases, Yoast SEO will see and analyze the content as if created with the default editor. When this is not the case, an integration feature must be available to parse the page builder content into Yoast SEO for analysis.

    Although our plugin does not detect your content and shows an incorrect analysis report, this does not affect how search engines crawl and analyze your site. Search engines process the front end of your site and will detect your content.
