@@WPressDoctor Thinking about creating a video on backlinks in the UAE community. What specific aspects of backlink building would you like to learn more about? Let me know your thoughts!
What is the UAE Community?
@@WPressDoctor The UAE Community refers to the diverse and vibrant population, businesses, and organizations within the United Arab Emirates. To discover websites operating in the UAE, you can use search engines with a country-specific focus, explore local business directories, or leverage industry-specific platforms. This approach allows you to connect with the digital landscape of the UAE and explore the online presence of various entities in the region.

Hi Matt, thank you for this video. I am using Rank Math free version and I cannot see the option to make sure that my Nofollow External links is off. Rank math is only showing under general settings on the left hand side 1 option which is Open External Links in New Tab/Window

Hi Oliver! You are very welcome! I’m glad you liked the video and that it was helpful for you. Have a great day and take care 😀
Hi there,
By any chance, does Rank Math sometimes not display the number of images on pages made with builders?
For ex: My sitemap is showing the number of images on posts which were made in Guttenberg. But it does not show the number of images on pages that I created in the Breakdance builder.
Hi there! Thanks for the question. Yeah sometimes this is a issue I also face with Divi. You should ask Rank Math - on their support page - about this. It seems that the relative new Breakdance builder has indeed still some integration issues with Rank Math. My guess is that they are working on it.
Thank You❤Matt

Hello friend, just wanted to know if you have any tutorial on how to change the Mobile Snapshot of my website. Currently, my website mobile view is having some text and part of image cropped thus looking quite bad. Thanks for always doing a good job educating us here.
Hi there and thanks for the question! You mention the 'Mobile snapshot', you mean the image you see when sharing your website via WhatsApp or X or FB?
Thank you so much , Please I still need your guide
Hi there! You are very welcome. Where do you need my guide with? Have a great day and stay safe!
@@WPressDoctor Can we talk in private please. I need your Mail or WhatsApp number
God bless you you are the best
Hi There! Thanks for the blessing! I receive it 😄 Have a great day and take care!
Thank you for your videos. Divi has a role manager function as well. Does rank math roller manager replace the need for that?
Hi Jeff! Thanks for the question. No it does not. The Rank Math Role Manager only can allow people to use the Rank Math plugin in a certain way per role. The same for Divi, it changes the possibilities for users how they can use Divi. Hope that answers your question! Have a great day and take care, greetings
Thanks for the great video, jusy a quick one how do i setup schema type for ecommerce store, i chose product? thing is i also have a blog page. Thanks in advance Matt
Hi there! Thanks for the question. Yes you should chose product. Then at the blog or other pages you can use another type 😀👍🏻 Just follow the tutorial step by step and I’ll show you exactly how to change this per page/post/product. Have a great day and take care!
I come to you becuase of your Clinical Approach ... Awesome Vid!
Haha thanks man! Yeah true true. I’m glad you liked it 👍🏻😀 Have a great day and stay safe!
Thank you so much Matt. This was a great video. Apologies for my earlier message. I followed another video where I was advised to set up using the easy and not advanced version. A few things did not work for me. I was unable to clear my Yoast SEO, when I pressed clear it said failed. My error log could not be found, not sure why. I would love to optimise and increase my SEO on my existing pages. Do you have a video for that. I am using Elementor not Divi.
Hi Hope! At the end of the video I’ll show you how to optimize a entire page 👍🏻😀 Does that work for you?
@@WPressDoctor Yes it works for me thank you
Great to hear! Have a great day!
haha dude honestly i think you are so funny! the face after comment you gave on minute 17:22 haha brilliant!! keep up the good work my friend
Hey Steven! Thanks man, I really appreciate it you telling me 😀 I’m glad there are people around that have the same sense of humor haha. I will keep it up! Just getting started 😊
Hi Matt, thank you for your contents, they are reliable and very well done!
I have a question for you: is there any problems if I have already installed YoastSEO and I would like to try Rank Math?
Thank you so much ;O)
Hi MrGiuGuz! And thanks for the sub! That is no problem at all. Upon installing you will be asked if you want to migrate everything inside of your website to Rank Math. Just follow along and before Rank Math wants to clean everything from Yoast, make sure to check your posts/pages so that every title and description has been successfully migrated to Rank Math. Once that is the case, you are good! 😊
Thank you so much for the tutorial Matt!! I updated the keywords, title etc in line with SEO Rank Math suggestions and I click 'update' on my website as that is the only option available. However, each time I refresh and check back to SEO, it all reverts back to what was originally there. Do you have any idea what could be happening here?
Hi there! That’s odd and not suppose to happen. It could be caused by caching issues? Try to turn of caching plugin to see if that works…
@@WPressDoctor thanks a bunch and for your quick response too. I will look into this 🤔. Best wishes
Ur welcome, let me know if this solves the problem.
Great video, Matt; easy to understand. I have a question about computer speed. All UA-cam website tutorials are so fast while my PC is sleeping. Does yours look fast because you speed it up during editing, or is it that fast? I spend so much time working on my website simply because it's slow.
Hi there! Thanks for your kind words, I’m glad it’s easy to understand 😀. Yeah I personally have a beast of a Windows PC to handle 4K video editing. Also I need that speed to work fast in building websites for clients.
What you see in tutorials when building a website is (in my case) the true time. The heavy lifting of page builders is being done in your browser, but a good hosting company also makes a difference. So for me that combination is gold 😀👍🏻
Hi Matt, many thanks for this wonderful and elaborate tutorial!
I'd like to ask a question regarding the Analytics settings at 20:44- I was facing a lot of issues because I could not get these fields to populate, then I discovered I need to sign up a GA4 account separately and create the propery through google (which I think would be a good point to add , as I am a fresh wordpress user). However, google analytics would also like to install that GA4 account into my website, which can be done through google site kit.
I could not find any clear advise on this topic so would appreciate if you can clarify, whether I need to also install the google site kit and connect my website to google analytics? I believe it provides some additional dashboard and stats features, but not sure whether this might impair the site's performance (on Rank Math website they do not recommend to install it in parallel with their plugin).
Again, I am not knowledgable enough to understand what's happening behind the scenes with all of these settings, and whether I should toggle the "Install analytics code" off if I install the google site kit (it would make sense though). I am just wondering whether google analytics is satisfied with me plugging in GA4 account into Rank Math , without actually connecting directly it with google site kit.
Thanks again, and sorry for the long comment, I am trying to give as many details as I can..
Hi there and thanks for the question! You can create a account within Google, then use the RankMath plugin to connect, this way you don’t need any Sitekit plugin 👍🏻😀
@@WPressDoctor Thank you! 🙂
Hey, matt, In schema markup I have a product page (because it's an e-commerce website) and a blog post as well so what should I have to choose?
Hi Neha! I would choose product page on the global meta and for posts I would go for blog markup 😀
@@WPressDoctor You confused me but wait, I will check again all setting then let you know☺
Ok 👍🏻 let me know if you have doubts 😀
Hello Matt Tnks for the video, its usefull even in 2024 😊. Just a question, If I Connect Google to rankmath I need to Keep up the Google plugin or I can remove it and stick only with rankmath and “save” a plugin from my website ?
Hi there! Thanks for the question! You don’t need another plugin if Rank Math is connected to Google and also placed the tracking code. This will indeed save you a plugin 👍🏻😀
thank you for your detailed presentation, matt.
I just built a website in wordpress a few days ago. And I really dont know how to make some SEO for it! Do you have any suggestions for the beginner?😄
Hi Won! Thank you very much for your kind words. I'm glad the video was useful. Well if you can give me some background information, I can surely help you. What kind of topic is your website? Is it local or international? Then I can give you some topics to write about 😊
@@WPressDoctor Thank you for your kind reply. The topic of the website is about the promotion of the compony products, and it is international. I will be much appreciated for your guidance!
You are very welcome! Well I would zoom in on the best sellers or the “low hanging fruit” and create content about that specific product. I mean the products that have a niche market target audience and are easy to rank on #1 when they search for a specific solution for a problem. Do you have such products?
Hi, the whole video shows you worked a lot to make it so good and professional. But I still have a problem, how and where do I put the tags that have to be picked by the search engines? Thank you in advance.
Hi Rob! Thanks for your kind words, really appreciate it. What tags do you mean specifically? I’m not sure what you mean 🙂
@@WPressDoctor I mean, let's say you offer a Mixing Song Service, where would I put the tag "Mixing song service" to be later picked up by search engines?
Well if you follow the video than at the end I’ll show you how to optimize a entire page. That’s a vital answer tot this question 😀
Hi Matt, I am now working on my pages as per your landing page demo in this video. When I try to add my permalink, I am told I cannot do this. I searched for how to enable permalinks, and followed a video where I changed mine to custom structure from day. But I still cannot update my permalink. Do you have a video for this. My site was created by an agency and then I instructed them I would manage the site.
Hi Hope! Your on the right way. In this video I’ll show you that after installing WordPress you need to change the permalinks: ua-cam.com/video/ptCQ2OXm8e4/v-deo.html 👍🏻😀
Hi Matt. 1) I have a local web site with NO GBP. Should I not use the local settings tab? 2) My blog posts have their own category and have YT videos mixed with articles in them, should I just still check off the YT selection for the correct blog setup for Rank Math? 3) Also, do you think the Pro (paid version) is worth it especially for dialing in local and niche-based schema in my tree service industry niche? Thank you, sir. :-) -) :-)
Hi there! Thanks for the questions. 1) So you have a local website with no Great British Pound? Sorry I don't get it, help me out here 😊. 2) Yes, you should use the video settings. 3) I would just go with the free version first, make some money and then see if you need more information and more options, it totally depends on how competitive your niche is.
REALLY good movies you make, I'm a big fan. I have watched this movie a few times BUT! i can use rank math on all my pages, just not the front page. How do I do SEO on it. because in my menu on the left it says kune pages, but not front page.
Hi there! Thanks, really appreciate your kind words! zo’ m glad you like my videos. Thats very odd. What theme are you using? You can also change the settings within Rank Math for the homepage. Or within the page. You could also just make another page the frontpage, then edit it and change it back?
Hi Matt, does the image SEO on the dashboard only apply to the pro version. I cannot find it on my dashboard
Hi Hope! No in the video I am using the free version only, NOT the pro! So it should be the same as your version. Unless you have a theme that is interfering with Rank Math, but I highly doubt that.
I’m using elementor just for my home page, but Wordpress for everything else, will seo still read what is on my page from elementor even though I’m setting it up in Wordpress , if not how do I go about setting this up
Hi Evan! Great question. Yes Rank Math will still see all pages content, Elementor or Gutenberg or any other builder. It’s a real great plugin! 😀
Hey Matt, Which is better in your experience / tests - YoastSEO or Rank Math for WooCommerce shop ?
Hi there! Thanks for the good question. I have made a dedicated video about this: Yoast SEO vs Rank Math vs All In One SEO | FREE versions comparison 2023
ua-cam.com/video/1ZyCXybC9GA/v-deo.html
Also for WooCommerce is Rank Math the winner 😀👍🏻
hi matt, thank you so much for making that so simple, but i have one problem now, i can't see the SEO score that used to appear at the end of my blog, the bit where it shows you the green lights focus words, snippet and I've tried everything to bring it back, can you suggest anywhere i can look to get it back, cause its pretty useless without it for me, thanks
Hi Mary! That’s odd, what theme are you using? Are you on the latest version of theme and Rank Math? Did it work before? So many questions… 😇
@Matt - WPress Doctor I'm.on wordpress not sure of the theme but I'll check but yes all in latest version
@Matt - WPress Doctor yes it worked until I updated rankmath and then followed the video so think I must have changed something but blowed if I can find out what lol
Oh haha. Happens to all of us. Just keep checking ☺️
Hello Matt how long does it take to load my website url when I connect google services
Hi there! Thanks for the question. Well it should really not take any longer then a hour. If it’s longer, it might not be connecting the right way. Have a great day!
The fantastic video--tutorial with the brilliant presentation - Lots of thanks, Matt! A quick one: In a case I change my previous template (with Woo plugin) to Divi, would be this following change from Yoast to Rank Math be still well connected to Woo plugin via a new Divi template? It feels as really puzzling my mind with all these interconnectional changes... Lots of thanks in advance 🙏
Hi there! You are very welcome! Thanks for the kind words, I really appreciate it.
Well the theme change is a lot of work, basically building your entire website again, but now in Divi. Then the change from Yoast to Rank Math can be easily done, and can be done before or after the theme change. WooCommerce is also a different system and will not be influenced by the theme or SEO plugin, all information will stay inside of it when changing everything 😀👍🏻
@@WPressDoctor Hi Matt, Lots of thanks for your kind explanations - they are So needed and are game-changers! 🧡🙏Now I can breathe and relax a bit...Best wishes your way!🍀🌝
You are welcome! Good luck 👍🏻😀
Hi Matt, thank you so much for this tutorial. I found it last year I managed to rank one of my client's website up to the 1st position!!! But, for some reason I have difficulties this time. One of my friend's website is still on about 5-6th page. Is there anything you could advise I need to double check please? Thank you! 🙏❤️🍀
Hi there! Thanks for sharing this with me, it makes it all worth while, helping people get results! Yeah I would say… more backlinks ☺️
Thank you@@WPressDoctor for replying. There is a lot of backlinks on that website, definitely more than on the website successfully ranked in Google search results.
Hi, if I have website offering online courses, should I mark Course in Type Schema for Pages?
Hi there! Thanks for the question! Yes that’s a very good idea, but only the pages that are about the courses.
Hi i have a question, is it advisable to submit your website first to the various search engines before working on your products and post seo and adding content, or is it best to add all content first and do the seo before submitting your website to search engine. Thanks
Hi there! Thank you for your question! Well best practice is when your website is reasy for launch (but not optimized) to already put it out there and submit to search engines. This way, the search engines see that pages are being changed regularly… so it’s a signal that the website is “alive” and “growing”.
Hi! Another amazing video! huge thanks for that! but I do have a problem: re-doing my website and only now changed the custom structure in Permalinks from standard post name to custom: /(website)/news (=category)/(post name). Problem 1:. Somehow my posts still run under /(website)/(post name), so the permalink change hasn't taken effect. Problem 2. Do I have to set up a redirection for each and every post - for all existing posts? Problem 3: What about all future posts? 4. I have a special "Categories" button and added there also: /news (=category). Not sure if it was even necessary and when I want to delete it I get a scary message "you will delete this item for your complete website". Would appreciate a 'redirection'
Hi there and thanks for your questions. You are doing great. Let’s start with 1) Did you save the permalinks twice? It’s needed to rewrite your structure.
2) if you want to make sure everything is redirected, yes this would be smart. So download your sitemap before redirect to excel, then copy all URLs to column 2 and start adjusting. Then upload all to redirection plugin. This could work. Don’t know how many posts you have of course…
3) They will be automatically added to the right structure if changes are made to the permalinks settings.
4) I don’t know about that message. Just create a new fake categorie, make some posts into it and see what happens when you delete it. Trial and error my friend 😀👍🏻
thanks! will work thru slow and steady 😀@@WPressDoctor
Thank you for this very detail and clear tutorial. I installed the Rank Math plug-in and used the simple wizard, can I go back and redo in the advanced settings?
Hi Virginia! Thanks for your question. Yes you can go back and just walk through it again, no problem 😀👍🏻
@@WPressDoctor Thank you.
Good luck! Let me know if you get stuck 👍🏻😀
Can you tell me what editor u are using to edit your website it look cleam and easy to use tho
Appreciate
Hi there! Thanks for your question! I always use the Divi builder for ALL my websites. If you want to check out the LIFETIME license with 10% discount; check out wpressdoctor.com/getdivi/
Hi Matt, thank you for the valuable content. Question, for .htaccess mine says 'file not found'. Is there anything that I should do? It seems content should be here as shown in your video.
Hi there! Yeah you should have a .htaccess file on your server. It might be that the file is read-only by your hosting company? You could ask them if it’s in place.
@@WPressDoctor My host company said they use Nginx which uses a different rewrite rule syntax. They said I can’t add or use .htaccess files; however, I can convert .htaccess files to Nginx syntax... What do you recommend? I am not a developer, so I really don't want to get over my head.
Yeah thats another thing indeed and a bit tricky also if you are new to this. Well it should just work fine the way it is right now, as plugins should also make the changes to the NGiNX system. So I would not be to much alarmed.
Hi should you add breadcrumbs for mobile pages?
Hi there! THanks for the question. On some websites that might be a good choice if you have a LOT of pages, categories and just a big website. Than it should be considered yes!
Hello matt, love your content, my website traffic is improving. Do you have any recommendations on android apps traffic and optimization.
Hi Stefan! Thanks for the kind words, really appreciate it 😀👍🏻 I have no android apps to recommend as I use a iPhone myself / sorry ☺️
I do not have a Post Formats Archive tab in the Titles And Meta section of the plugin. Is that an issue I should correct?
Hi there! Thanks for your question. No problem there, just keep on optimizing what you can optimize 😎
Also you should create a video on how you used chat got to get those things if you haven’t already great content keep it up!
Hi Evan again, yes I already created this video. I made designs with AI (not so good) and SEO texts here: ua-cam.com/video/va4MJYw6NlU/v-deo.html check it out if you want
thank you this is the channel I’ve been looking for! AI is here
Yes sir! Glad you like it 😀
great video. easy to understand. i have one question. if you optimize your landing/home page will you need to all your pages?
Hi there! Thank you for your compliment. Yeah you should definitely do the basics on all pages on your entire website. The basics are Title - description- URL and featured image. Then on landingspages you also go deep with texts 😀👍🏻 Does that answer your question?
Dear Matt, i installed the Rank Math as you explained on this video and i got stuck at Rank Math Seo Analytics, the dashboard is not showing it appears grey and not showing the analytics, also the tab site analytics is not showing, the Seo Performance not showing only the keywords is showing, can you tell me what i did wrong?
Hi there! It sounds like you didn’t connect your Google account which has the analytics connected to it. Can you check it for me?
One thing I am confused about - is the "landingspage" meant to be blank? Cause I just followed your guide and made it like you did and there is no content on it. I already had a pre existing "home page" that I still need to optimize with keywords, keyphrases, meta text and so forth... I am just worried people will surf on to a blank page with the landing page I just made. Or is it meant to be like a "bait" for the search engine? Hope my question makes sense... thanks again for another great tutorial!
edit: oh I just realized... landingpage = home page. so I created a 2nd page by accident... can I just "trash" this one, or is this going to create problems for the search engine indexing? :-(
Hi Kate! No you missed the point of a landingspage. It’s a specific page created to rank on a specific topic. So you have to make a new page, change every bit of content and then optimize it also with Rank Math 👍🏻
Great Video. What does markein a page as pillar content do?
Hi there! Thanks for the question! By marking a piece of content as “Pillar Content”, you are telling Rank Math that this is an evergreen piece of content that will remain relevant for years to come.
This is important because it allows Rank Math to build contextual internal links to those pages/posts. This is especially useful for Rank Math users who have multiple posts in the same category, as it allows Rank Math to link them all together.

How do you get that much time to read all comments and reply? 😂
Rock man! you will rise up in no time🎉
not only because of your knowledge and explainarion but the superb attitude you have
Thanks! I really appreciate your kind words! Let’s hope so. Well, I make time for it as I think it’s a important task. When I create a video I want to help people. If they have questions and I don’t help them further…. What good is that 🤓
Great tutorial. Thanks a lot. I need your help please. I tried installing and setting up this plugin while implementing the basic module (your tutorial is based on the advanced module), but sooner realized that some features such as the 401 and redirections were absent. Please what could this mean?
Hi there! Thanks for your question. I think that means that these features are not there because you didn't chose the advanced mode. Maybe go through it again and select advanced mode?
@@WPressDoctor Thanks a million for your reply. I will reset it again and see what happens. Also, I realized rank Math put an ad on my header, which appears for a brief moment and disappears. Please how can I remove this rather intrusive ad?
You are very welcome. You should not have a ad on your website, only one asking for Pro, but when you dismiss it, it does not come back.
@@WPressDoctor 👉Thanks a lot for your time. I really appreciate your kindness and patience. Giving you some updates.
👉I had to redo the set-up wizard and opted for the advanced module this time around. Then all the other advanced features came back. You were right.
👉 Concerning the pop up ad , it keeps appearing on every single page every time I'm browsing my website. I'll clear caches and see what happens. Will provide updates of course.
A ad shows when you are browsing your website on the front end? Well if it’s not Google Ads - you stil might have some kind of malicious file inside your theme or plugins somewhere 😰
Great content but in my case i dint gave yeast seo in rank math why?? Should i installed yeast seo plugin??
Hi there! THanks for the question. I don't know why! Use this video to determine if you need Rank Math or Yoast: ua-cam.com/video/1ZyCXybC9GA/v-deo.html
Hi im working on elementor and can't see rank math on that page. If I just normal edit on my wordpress dashboard my entire design changes. What am I doing wrong?
Hi Sandra-Lee! That does not sounds good and is not supposed to happen. Did you clean your caches?
Thank you, sir. We are waiting for the tutorial of Google Business
As in Google My Business? For local SEO? That’s a great idea for my list thnx 💡
I have Google Analytics installed via a GTM. Should I be using Rankmath instead?
Hi David! Thanks for your question. No GTM should work great! No need to change that 👍🏻😀
thanks man Great Help to Achieve My Goals. love From Dubai🏁
Hi Ame! Thank you for your kind words! I’m really happy i could help you out 👍🏻😀 go achieve those goals, you can do it! Never give up 😀
great stuff mate. um....im just in early stages of website/ ecommerce....can I ask how important breadcrumbs are? id like to keep things simple...atleast to begin with....so im a little unsure about setting up breadcrumbs? :-)
p.s - to get to 600 words - did you simply double up on the words on your page? also - rank math seo says that the Focus Keyword not found in the URL - yet I have 'nature connection' in the keywords and also in the actual website page URL....so im confused by why it says that? sorry for too many questions!
Hi RoYaBoat! Thanks for asking this question. Well in the beginning its not that important, but as you grow and your website get more pages, products and posts, it could be useful to navigate your website. So keep that in mind when building it right now. Easier to add it in now than to do that later on...
No worries, there is not such a t hing as to many questions 😁. So on my most important pages that I want to rank I do a lot more work to get to a high amount of words. I try to expand them but write good content. On other 'normal' pages that are not going to rank, it does not matter much. Hope that helps!
cheers for that. i will try to find you breadcrumbs instruction video then. im selling lesson plans and what not....where the webpage is a quick rundown of the lesson plan including a video preview.....so i dunno if more words are required/ serves me? hhmmm.....i like simplicity! hhhmmm....

HI Matt, should I Configure a new GA? My website already has a GA
Hi Joseph! No than you don’t need to configure a new one. Else you get double… and that’s unnecessary 😀
I really like the way you explain everything. I am using hello world ,can I use rank math the same way you explain!!! I am new at all that and I get confused when it is from another template😢
Hi Elaine! Thank you for your question. Yeah you could just use Rank Math, no problem.
Thank you
If you are adding this to a client's site you are building, do you link it to your personal google account for Google services or theirs? Does it matter?
Hi there! THanks for the question. I would connect it to their account. You never know how the relationship develops, so better do it all on their behalf 😄
@@WPressDoctor That is actually a wise answer. Thank you for it and for replying so quickly. I learn so much from your videos!
I’m glad I can help you out! That’s the whole point of the channel and my answers, so thanks for letting me know 😍
is it ok to have the image title and the alt tag for the image exactly the same, or is it spammy. In the video you just copy and paste the image name in to the alt
Hi Oliver, you can have them both at the same time, but the Title is something your visitors might see if they hover over your image, so keep that in mind. Only Alt text and file name are important for as far as I know 😀
@@WPressDoctor Thanks
In search console if I inspect a url and manually index it, is it the same as going to rank math- instant indexing- console tab- click: send to api?
Hi there and thanks for asking! Well it’s a different approach but basically yes, they both submit a page manual to Google. 😀👍🏻
@@WPressDoctor thank you for insightful reply. I’m wondering how to automate this process of indexing instead of manual process
IT actually does work automatically. Google crawls your sitemap multiple times a day (if you change a lot) so no worries there!
@@WPressDoctor : thank you for the insightful reply, I wasn’t sure how it worked
tyty from perú!
Hi there! You are very welcome! I’m glad I could help you out with this video. Stay tuned, more awesome tutorials coming up! Have a great day and take care 😀👍🏻
what theme are you using? it looks amazing.
Hi Allen! Thanks for your question. I'm using (for ALL my personal and client websites) the Divi theme! You can see my tutorial about how to create a amazing website here: ua-cam.com/video/ptCQ2OXm8e4/v-deo.html. If you need a discount for Divi, check out wp.discount/divi-discount/ 💡
Hi Matt. Great video. You said to turn off schema for posts if you don't have them, turn off posts in sitemap if you don't have them. Does it matter if you leave everything ticked? I may never post articles, but if I do in the future, I'm worried I may forget about these settings! :)
Hi there Michael! Thanks for the kind words and your question. No, its no problem if its still being added to your sitemap and there is nothing inside of the post sitemap. You can just leave it on. I just showed the most clean way 😀 Better to just let it in there than to forget about it. Because that would be very annoying 😊
thank you for this video. i was watching a very poorly made video by Freddy on the same topic and I just couldnt bother with it anymore.
Hi there and thanks for the big compliment! I'm glad you find my video better 😊 Means the world to me. Have a great day and stay safe!
Hoi Matt, Bij 4.58 uur klik je de website aan maar die krijg ik niet te zien, dit vakje blijft blanco..??? Eh.....enig idee ??
Hi Alida, als alles goed is ingesteld qua analytics dan kan het even duren voordat het zichtbaar wordt. Duurde bij mij ongeveer 2 minuten 👍🏻
@@WPressDoctor Hoi Math, ben er weer opnieuw mee bezig maar na drie kwartier ziet ie de site nog niet...snap het niet, ik log in dmv mijn google account, heb er twee ook alle twee geprobeerd....blijf dus daarop hangen bij analytics
Dat is gek. Heb je Rank Math wel alle toestemming gegeven vanuit Google? Dan zou het moeten werken. Als het niet werkt is het ook geen probleem, Rank Math werkt ook goed zonder dat de koppeling 100% werkt…
Is this SEO tool suitable for other languages? For example, I use Yoast because it understands the language used in our country.
I think it would work great, you can install it and try it out - just keep Yoast active or only disable it (so you can always turn tot back on later)
@@WPressDoctor thank you
Your welcome! Let me know if it works!
