This plugin provides an input field for your Focus Keyword and analyzes <a href=\"https:\/\/tutorialsclass.com\/seo-introduction\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">SEO<\/a> of your page\u2019s content with respect to this keyword.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Yoast SEO plugin evaluates your page title, meta description, headings, links, images in page content for the keyword.

You will find a few more popular terms &amp; sentences.<\/li><li>Search with &#8220;Focus Keyword&#8221; that you want to use and see what Search engine result suggests. In Google, you can check related search terms at the end of the list.<\/li><li>It is good to keep your focus keyword length short from 2 to 5 words (related to the product or specific topic). For example: &#8220;SEO Tutorial&#8221;, and &#8220;Buy Budget Smartphones&#8221;<\/li><li>Depending on the nature of page content, commonly used phrase &amp; long-tail keywords can also be useful. For example: &#8220;How to Optimize your website for SEO&#8221;, and &#8220;Tips for travelling the world&#8221; can be used for blogs.<\/li><li>Now you have a final list of shortlisted keywords. Choose the most relevant for your content, user, and search engines.<\/li><li>Always choose unique keywords on each page.
