    When crafting my post, I chose the key phrase “historical fantasy with fae and vampires.”

    It is the first text in the alt text for the image and the first line in the post.

    Yet the Yoast SEO analyzer is dinging me for not doing those things.

    What gives?

    Hello @lynnemoses

    Thanks for using Yoast SEO. Checking /historical-fantasy-with-fae-and-vampires/, I do not see your focus keyphrase, “historical fantasy with fae and vampires” as the first line in the post. “historical fantasy with fae and vampires.”. Could it be that the issue is with another post? Also, am I correct that you add your content via the Beaver Builder and not the default WordPress content editor?

    Hi Maybellyne, Thanks for replying.

    I have given up on pleasing Yoast and have restructured the post in the format Claude tells me is optimized for AI Crawlers.

    And yes, I use Beaver Builder for the site’s content. I’ve read that there are numerous things that can prevent Yoast from seeing the content in my post, including Beaver Builder. Is that true?

    Best wishes,

    Lynne

    Hi Lynne,

    Yoast SEO analyzes the default WordPress content areas like the title, URL, the main content box (WordPress editor). If you are adding your content through other plugin or theme content boxes (as most page builders do), Yoast SEO may not be able to detect it by default. Currently, we are compatible with the Elementor page builder. The Yoast SEO Elementor integration is free to use for everyone; no premium or add-on is required for core functionality.

    If you are using another page builder, please understand that page builders commonly use a custom editor designed by their team. Because plugins rely on the default editor, some page builders make the data entered into their editor available in the default editor. In these cases, Yoast SEO will see and analyze the content as if created with the default editor. When this is not the case, an integration feature must be available to parse the page builder content into Yoast SEO for analysis.

    It’s like opening a room to find a safe inside it. Unless you have the code to unlock the safe, you can only see the inside of the room. To get the code to open the safe, you must contact the person who set the unlock code. We have tried to automatically unlock and parse content from other plugins and themes with inferior results in the past. Therefore, we opted to provide an API that developers can use to unlock their content and pass it to our page analysis.

    If you are using a plugin or theme that doesn’t send or incorrectly sends their content to our page analysis, please reach out to the author or developer regarding the integration feature. Our development team provides information about creating a custom integration here. In the meantime, you can create a draft post without using the page builder and copy the content section from the frontend of your site into the default editor. The Yoast analysis will run on the draft’s copy of the content so you can review and change the content in both editors. Once you’ve optimized the content, you can discard the draft copy.

    Although our plugin does not detect your content and shows an incorrect analysis report, this does not affect how search engines crawl and analyze your site. Search engines process the front end of your site and will detect your content.
