Yoast, the leading WordPress SEO plugin, is seamlessly integrated in Elementor, allowing you to access and modify your page’s SEO settings without leaving Elementor, for a more efficient workflow. The same features that have always been available in the WordPress editor are now available right within the Elementor Panel.
You can access your page’s Yoast analytics in either of two ways. Either click the Hamburger Menu in the upper left corner of the Elementor Panel and choose the Yoast SEO tab, or click the gear icon in the lower left corner of the Elementor Panel and choose the Yoast SEO tab.
Focus Keyphrase
The Focus keyphrase is the main keyword or phrase that you most wish to have rank well in search engines. Enter one phrase here. This phrase will be used in the SEO analysis tab. If you wish, you can also search for related keyphrases with the SEMrush integration by clicking the optional Get related keyphrases button. If you choose to use this feature, you will need to log into your SEMrush account in the popup that appears.
Note: Most options include a help icon, which you can click for detailed information about that option.
