Punctuation

  • Part SEO and part Yoast SEO question this, and I don’t know where the join is…

    If I create a post with a title containing punctuation (say a colon or comma), but which matches my keyphrase, Yoast SEO fails to recognise the similarity. To score a green dot, I have to remove the punctuation from the title, body and description.

    Let me give an example:
    Say I had a post called “Paris, France”, the stub would be paris-france and the keyphrase “paris france”, but Yoast SEO would complain that it is not in the body or title because the comma would cause a mismatch.

    Does this matter? Is the SEO really affected? Or is it just Yoast SEO which is affected?
