   [https://prnt.sc/1wdtfmp](https://prnt.sc/1wdtfmp) They explain the problem. 
   RankMath says there are Basic SEO problems and Additional SEO problems but I 
   don’t believe there are. Your thoughts would be appreciated.

 * Hello [@briannie](https://wordpress.org/support/users/briannie/),
 * Thank you for contacting the support and sorry for not following up quickly and
   any inconvenience that might have been caused due to that.
 * It seems like an issue on our end. The Focus Keyword test is not working properly
   when a keyword has an `&`
 * We will fix it in an upcoming update and will inform you.
 * But please stay advised that these tests are just guidelines and one does not
   need to follow them religiously.
 * At the end of the day, the content needs to be written for the readers and not
   for the search engines.
 * Scoring higher points in Rank Math’s tests won’t guarantee higher rankings.
 * If there’s anything else we can help you with, please let us know. We are here
   to assist.

 * Dear Support, I’m really not into Beta stuff – I’ll wait until you have tested
   it and released it as all working well.
