Check the keyphrase distribution throughout your texts
While writing you can get caught up in a different topic that you intended to write about. Before you know you’ve written three paragraphs about something you weren’t planning to write about. If users are looking for content on a certain topic, they probably want a result that explains exactly what they’re looking for, the topic at hand! To give the best answer it’s good to stay on topic and not digress too far from what you originally wanted to write.
This premium-only check goes through your copy and assesses where you’ve used your keyphrase, its synonyms, or different word forms from the words in your keyphrase. So, if you get a green bullet, you’ve stayed on-topic and probably found a nice balance in using all of those words. The best way to make your readers and Google happy!
With the highlight function, you can check where you’ve used the words that are important for your optimization. Look at this example from a text optimized for [puppy training] with the synonym [obedience classes]:
Pretty nifty right? And you can have this too! It’s part of the Yoast SEO Premium analysis, a functionality that allows you to write rich, optimized content in a natural way. So, check out if this Premium analysis is available for your language.
