Next you will need to check and make sure your focus keyword is in your post's url, for instance:
http://ethnicfoodsrus.com/20-bizarre-but-healthy-super-foods/
You can see, this post of mine contains it, in the last two words of the url. If yours does not yet, you need to fix that.
Then take a look at your content. It is best to write your focus keyword into the first sentence or, at the very least, in the second sentence of the opening paragraph. This is important because you want your post's meta description (the snippet that will show up on search listings) to read like the opening of your post and to have your focus keyword contained in it.
Examine your content, and modify as needed, so you can use the opening 156 characters (max) to go into the meta description which you enter here-
As you can see, I managed to get my first two sentences, the first of which contains my focus keyword, in just under the limit (4 characters left)
Now all you have to do is click on "Update" your post and, on the refreshed page, if you have done all these steps correctly, your SEO Check should show green with a "good" rating.
To have some fun, and see what searchers will see when they come across your listing, do an "incognito search" for your post.
Open up a new browser by clicking on the 3-horizontal bar icon in the far upper right corner of your current browser, then select "Private Window" from the drop down menu. This will give you a browser that is not prejudiced by your machine's cookies, thus allowing you to get the same results someone else on a different machine will get.
Here is my post, showing up in an incognito search, how it appears on Google Page 1, Item #1.
So there you have it! I hope you found some value from this training and, again, if you have not yet, please do me a favor and click on the green "Like This" button below.
Chow, y'all, happy site building and post SEO'ing!
Great post - thank you! I don't see that on my All in One SEO pack either. Do you get that feature if and when you upgrade to Pro Version?
Are you using All in One SEO Pack? I don't appear to have this option on any of my WP sites... am I missing something?
