We have been a long time Enfold user, but we have been having problems with Yoast SEO not working properly. Yoast informed us that their program cannot work with Enfold. So, what SEO analysis programs have you validated that work with Enfold?
Thanks,

E-Church Essentials, LLCHey David Posthuma,
Thank you for the inquiry.
Yoast analysis tool should be able to read or detect the content of the Advance Layout Builder. Are you having issues with it? If you want to try another SEO plugin that is compatible with the theme, you can check RankMath.

Best regards,
IsmaelI have been having problems with the yoast highlight system not working. In addition, the system would constantly tell me I needed more transition words. I would add like 20 approved transition words, but the percentage on transition words on the page would not change. The third problem was that Yoast would constantly tell me I have three or more consecutive sentences on the page that began with the same word…when no such thing existed on the page.
As a result, I contact Yoast and they specifically told me that Yoast was only designed to work with the raw WordPress system…that it will NOT work with Enflold or other similar thrid-party content managers. This is something that Yoast does not advertise, nor does Enfold advertise that Yoast will not work properly.
Has Rank Math been verified to work properly with Enfold, or am I going to get the same kind of problems if I switch to Rank Math? Yoast’s response is pasted below…

“Do you use a page builder like WPBackery or a theme like Divi or a theme like Enfold?
I’m asking because the eye marker feature is only available in the default Visual editor. If you are adding the content through the page builder, the eye icon will not work. Page builders add flexibility to the standard WordPress editor and build on top of it, making it impossible for Yoast to show the highlighted parts of the content.
In addition, the Yoast plugin analyzes the default WordPress content areas like the title, URL, and the main content box (WordPress editor). If you are adding your content through other plugins or theme content boxes (as most page builders do), Yoast may not be able to detect it by default.
Workaround.
For workaround: you may create a staging site first. Next, add the content through the default visual editor of WordPress and check the eye icon to highlight your text. Make the required adjustments. Once you are happy with the content, you can add the content back to your live site where you are using page builder. This way, you can bypass the limitation and can use the Yoast SEO plugin without any blockage.”Hi,
What do you mean by “transition words”? Please provide a screenshot using platforms like Savvyify, Imgur or Dropbox. Are you using the Content Analysis feature?

Has Rank Math been verified to work properly with Enfold,
While the AI feature of the RankMath plugin is not compatible with the Advance Layout Builder (ALB), the plugin’s analysis tool should still function properly with the builder. It should be able to check or verify that the focus keywords are included in the content created using the builder.

If you don’t know what “transition words” are, then clearly you have no experience with SEO and wordsmithing.
Hi,
Thank you for the screenshot.
The analysis tool updates correctly when we adjust the paragraphs in the builder. Please check the screenshot in the private field. You’ll notice that the Consecutive sentences criteria has been validated. We added 3 Text Blocks in the page with different sentences, making sure that the first word in every sentence is different.
Have you considered using Rankmath instead?
Best regards,
Ismael
