 * Hey, I’m still learning Rank Math. When I change a keyword in a post, does the
   score update right away, or should I save/update the post first?

 * Hello [@shelbiowens](https://wordpress.org/support/users/shelbiowens/),
 * Thank you so much for getting in touch.
 * The SEO score in Rank Math updates in real time as you make changes to your content
   or SEO settings, including focus keywords, meta title, and description. This 
   means you’ll see the score adjust instantly while you’re editing.
 * However, to make sure all your changes are saved and applied to your post, you’ll
   still need to click the **Update** (or **Save**) button.
 * Hope that helps.
