Optimising Widgets of Content with Yoast

[musthavemarketing]

Hi Guys,

I am working on a client's website and the developer has built multiple pages using Widgets for Content.  When using Yoast on a Page level it is not recognising the keyword focus or the content for review. Is there something I am missing or does anyone have any recommendations?

Hi Allie

Stramark has the right idea. That aspect of Yoast is a tool just for you to help with keyword targeting. It doesn't actually impact the SEO of your page though. You could try something like Moz's On-Page grader. Unfortunately, knowing if you can get Yoast's tool to work, would require knowing how the site was in fact coded. It might be a simple fix, or it might be tricky. I'd see if you can ask the developer though, maybe it's an easy fix.

In the end google will look at your website from the outside. So it is very cool that Yoast is helping you out writing SEO killer content, eventually you will have to asses the whole page.

Widgets may not be recognized by Yoast because it audit's the body text of the page.

Find a tool (like moz) to asses the whole page.
