[Rank Math SEO Plugin] Still missing Table of Contents

[becca2]

Hello.  I thought with the updates there would be a fix to the SEO tool of Table of Contents; however, no matter the subheadings I use or how many paragraphs I use in my writing, Rank Math is still dinging me for not having a Table of Contents.  Is there a way to get around this?

Hello,

Thank you for contacting MyThemeShop and sorry for any inconvenience that might have been caused due to that.

Unless we crawl a webpage, it is nearly impossible to know whether someone has used a Table of Contents in an article.

We currently support the following plugins and assume that a person is using ToC in their content

WP Shortcode Pro
WP Shortcode
Easy Table of Contents
Table of Contents Plus
Simple TOC by Bainternet
f(x) TOC by David Chandra Purnama
Table of Contents Plugin for WordPress by CreativeMinds
Fixed TOC on CodeCanyon
Architect by Thrive Themes
CM Table Of Contents
Table of content by SedLex
HM Content TOC

If you are not using any of them, you can simply ignore.

Hope that helps. If you have any further question(s), please let us know.

Thank you for such a quick response.  If I add the plugin named Easy Table of Contents, will that help Rank Math raise my SEO score because of the TOC?

Thank you.  I'm still trying to understand everything.  Rank Math is awesome, but I don't think I know how to take full advantage of it.  I appreciate your help.

Gratefully,

Becca

Hello,

Yes, adding any of the above plugins will help you with the ToC's score.

But, I would recommend not to fret over the SEO scores but focus entirely on writing great content for your users. The scoring should only be taken up as a recommendation and not a ToDo list.

You can find all the details related to the scores in this article:
