Yoast does not respond to my keywords?

    Hey there! I am working on getting all my pages “green” ??
    Altough I have some problems. For example on the page I am working on at the moment this is the “orange” and “red” notifications ;

    The text contains 38 words. This is far too low and should be increased.
    Bad SEO scoreThe focus keyword doesn’t appear in the first paragraph of the copy. Make sure the topic is clear immediately.
    Ok SEO scoreThe images on this page do not have alt tags containing your focus keyword.
    Ok SEO scoreNo outbound links appear in this page, consider adding some as appropriate.
    Ok SEO scoreNo subheading tags (like an H2) appear in the copy.

    The first and the last one is right, and I cant do anything about it as it is a photography portfolio entry, and I do not have any more words to put there. But I do have an outbound link, I have also put the keyword in every title of every image, and in every alt text on every image, and the focus key word do appear in the very first paragraph of the copy..
    So can you help me to understand why it is still “red and orange” please?
    Thank you!!

  • I am having the same issue. My keywords are not recognised in the first paragraph, titles/headings, and the latest is when I’m trying to use a hyphenated keyword, its not recognising it at all in the post.

    Sorry its not an answer, just sharing your frustration.

    Oh and Alt tags – even though the keyword IS included.

    I’m having the same problem with hypenated keywords.

    THe keyword is recognised in the URL but not in the text or article H2 headers.

    Very annoying.

    Red Light for – “The focus keyword doesn’t appear in the first paragraph of the copy. Make sure the topic is clear immediately.” – even though it is used 2 times in first paragraph.
