Hello, Hopefully everyone is doing well and Happy New Year.

Well, i was creating a site with a custom post type and created a template for it, using many custom fields. It is working fine. The problems started when I installed a popular SEO Plugin. The SEO analysis is absolutely dismal. Probably it is not detecting the template and the custom fields at all.
The Yoast seo plugin, was showing an option in the custom field option, but others didn't even show that.
would appreciate some help regarding this SEO issue.
Thanks

Hi,

Thank you for contacting us and I'd be happy to assist.

Your observation is correct and out-of-the-box, the content analysis tools from most SEO plugins can only recognize the content that is added directly in post/page body and not custom fields.

The most popular Yoast SEO plugin offers control to include custom fields too, as explained in these guides:

For any other SEO plugin, you'll need to consult its official documentation and support to learn how its content analysis feature can be extended to cover the custom fields data too.

regards,
Waqar
