    Hi,
    When I put dots in the url, it doesn’t identify in the option “Focus Keyword used in the URL”.
    Best Regards.

    Hello @antonio24073,

    Thank you for contacting the support.

    Our plugin checks for an exact match of the focus keyword in your content and URL. If you use any variation of the keyword, it will not be recognized and you will fail the related test. Can you please share the URL of the affected post and the focus keyword that you are using so we can check and assist you further?

    Also, you can follow the following guide to reach 100:
    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.

    Looking forward to helping you.

    if you put “some-text-2-4G” in the url with an “exact match” to “Some text 2.4G” it will not recognize the dot. Please do the test before.

    Hello @antonio24073,

    As mentioned previously, we look for exact matches of the focus keywords. As a hyphen cannot be an exact match for a dot, it cannot be considered the same.

    With that being said, we do have plans on improving the keyword detection features in the future to also consider variations of the keyword.

    Hope this helps. Thank you.
