Hello Akunsbo,

The keyphrase is “teknik merawat ayam jago”

If the sentence only have “ayam jago”, “teknik merawat” or any part of that keyphrase, it include in keyphrase marking

After I check again, that marked only happen when I check via keyphrase distribution.

But it normal when I check with keyphrase density.

So, Yoast implement “half of words from the keyphrase rule” for subheading and keyphrase distribution now?

If you want the Yoast SEO content analysis to perform analysis against the exact focus keyphrase match, you’ll need to wrap the relevant focus keyphrase using a double quote "teknik merawat ayam jago". The content analysis will no longer use the half part but will use the exact match.

We hope this helps!

The system only analysis the keyphrase IN ORDER if using that wrap. So that doesn’t help much.

Please have an option to disable that “half rule”, it’s wrong on so many level to force it, because many keyphrase not suitable with that rule, either in content or in subheading.

It makes many user can no longer rely on yoast to do keyphrase distribution analysis anymore.

We are not exactly sure on why do you think wrapping the focus keyphrase using double quotes is wrong. Can you please elaborate more on this, please?

There’s nothing wrong when wrapping the focus keyphrase using double quotes as it tells the controversy analysis to look for exact match instead of using the function words.

You can see at the last paragraph (bold), yoast not counting it as keyphrase while that paragraph have all part of the kayphrase.

It only count 1 in keyphrase density analysis.

Wrapping the keyphrase only recognize the keyphrase in the exact order, thus make article not natural.

What I want is, yoast doing analysis normally without using “half rule”, because it will mess the article.

Thank you
