      The focus keyword is "moringa powder".

      The product title and default H1 tag is "moringa ultimate original powder".

      The url also has "moringa ultimate original powder".

      Yoast is saying the keyword does not appear in the url or any subheadings. So should I change the product title and url to Original Ultimate moringa powder or is having them separated ok?

      Thanks

            Even though Yoast is saying the keyword does not appear in the url or any subheadings, the page still has a good chance to rank well. As long as you use it in the page copy, you should be fine. Concentrate on the internal links to that page (for example, use "moringa powder" in links that point to the page.

            Also, you'll most likely need links from other sites to that page with that anchor text "moringa powder". It's also good to mix up those anchor text links from other sites, such as using "ultimet moringa powder" and "moringa ultimate original powder" so it's more "natural".

              As much as I love the Yoast SEO plugin, I find that it oversimplifies on-page optimization with its SEO score. Getting a green light for your focus keyword will not automatically catapult your page to the #1 spot in Google search results. In fact, it can sometimes lead to over-optimization because you've focused all of your efforts on one keyword just to get the green light from Yoast.

              It's fine to have "moringa" and "powder" separated in some places, especially since you have "moringa powder" together in the page title and several times elsewhere on the page. You also have lots of good content on the page. I would spend more time optimizing for long-tail keywords and earning good, quality backlinks.

                Title tag length

                Hi, I am fairly new to SEO and have just noticed the end of my title text has been cut off by Google in the serps results. Everything i have read tells me titles should be maximum of 70 characters, however, Google is only displaying 54. See below Security systems | wireless | battery powered | Police... Nobody else on the page is showing more than 54 characters. Am i missing something obvious? Any and all help gratefully appreciated. Thanks Si

                The word "in" between 2 keywords influence on SEO

                Does anybody know when you have the word "in" between two keywords has this a negative influence in Google? For example: "Holiday Home Germany" is the search term in Google
                "Holiday Home in Germany"  as h1 on our website or do we have to use "Holiday Home Germany" on our website?

                Target keywords on homepage or sub page?

                Is it better to target main keywords on a site's homepage, or in a sub page. I would usually assume the homepage, but if the domain for the homepage doesn't include the keyword is it better to have a sub page with an exact match URL? For example we target the keyword "abc123" Is it better to optimise the homepage: brandname.com Or create a page to target it: brandname.com/abc123/ And leave the homepage to target brand keywords, but link to the "abc123" page. Whats the best option?

                KeyWord Density?

                What is an acceptable density for a keyword? It's wise to push it as close to spam without sacrificing user experience, correct? I read an article on SeoMoz (outdated I think) that mentioned 6%. If it's a keyword phrase, do you have to make sure you don't go over the density level of a particular word in the phrase. If it's a three word phrase, do you have to not use any one word more than X% or just monitor the exact keyword.

                Rel="canonical" on home page?

                I'm using wordpress and the all in one seo pack with the canonical option checked. As I understand it the rel="canonical" tag should be added to pages that are duplicate or similar to tell google that another page (one without the rel="canonical" tag) is the correct one as the url in the tag is pointing google towards it. Why then does the all in one seo pack add rel="canonical" to every page on my site including the home page? Isn't that confusing for google?
