Yoast SEO Question
-
Hello
I have put my focus keyword in the first paragraph of the product description in a
tag yet Yoast tells me it is not there. Here you can see my problem:
My question to you is: will this affect anything negatively on my SEO?

Your thoughts and feedback on my content would be greatly appreciated as I constantly want to improve!

Hi xdunningx
The focus keyword is an arbitrary concept made up by Yoast - it forces you to think about what the piece should be ranked for in terms of a single target keyword or phrase. It should be one - three words ideally.
As long as the target keyword you want to rank for is on the page, preferably in the H1 and used as the feature image ALT text you are good to go. Yoast is great but it does have this irritating feature where it fails to recognise the focus keyword on the page.
