      Thanks in advance for any help,

      It seems our target keyword "digital marketing agency" is not being picked up by yoast or the on-page grader as having the keyword in our home page content.

      Exact Keyword Used in Document Text at Least Once comes back as a zero.

      When we run our website through Google Webmasters fetch tool the keyword shows up fine in the content. Any ideas how we can fix this?

        Hmm I'm seeing it as coming up once each in the title, meta description, body and img alt in the On-Page Grader Tool.

        And "Exact Keyword Used in Document Text at Least Once" is showing a check-mark.

        Yoast may not be picking it up due to how your homepage is laid out in wordpress. Yoast probably just pulls the main body content and a lot of wordpress homepages are in widgets or other places outside of the main page content, which will likely hide it from the yoast plugin.

          Totally makes sense about yoast.

          It seems sometimes the checkmark is there but othertimes it's not. strange.
