The Value of Rank Math

As with all of us, I have been struggling with getting my new (2 1/2 months) site ranked and sizable traffic to the site. Last week, TheAbiePPlus made a recommendation to me that has proven to be a Godsend. I wanted to share this, especially with those of you that are new.

Abie recommended I try the plug-in Rank Math in lieu of the many SEO type plug-ins I was using. I was immediately pleased with the change, but frankly, today, after finding some additional functionality, I am blown away by it.

A very useful feature I just found today is as follows:

1. Once you have published a post (haven't tried this on a page yet), go to your dashboard and click on Posts and then a Post of your choosing and go to edit mode. First, you should notice that Rank Math assigns an SEO score to your post. I had some that were ZERO (though I had a great keyword, etc.), the twenties, maybe one in the 50's.

2. If you go to the "right sidebar" menu and click post, you get a menu of numerous functions and attributes (Categories, etc.). NOW, here is the cool thing I just found today. At the upper right hand corner of that sidebar "menu", click on the 3 dots. It brings up an entirely new menu. About 1/2 to 2/3 of the way down, you can see Rank Math listed. Click on that and you enter "SEO nirvana".

3. My "SEO Nirvana", includes not only Rank Math telling my SEO, but gives me a dashboard of why my score is what it is...and what can be done to improve it. Using this tool, I made just a few of the recommended changes and my SEO scores are now in the 70's. That may not be "expert" numbers, but it is quite a huge improvement for this WA neophyte who is still riding his tricycle!

4. I plan to go over each every one of my posts and go through this Rank Math assessment and improvement process.

IN CLOSING, I HIGHLY RECOMMEND YOU UPLOAD AND ACTIVATE the Rank Math plug-in!!

Good luck.
