Hello Neil, I have got a problem with the addition of focus keywords... A site ranks 1st in Google for the keyword "best laptops under 70000"... In that case, I found the title of that top-ranked site to be 'Best laptops under Rs 70,000'... So my problem is while entering the keyword "best laptops under 70000" as focus keyword for my site, Rank Math suggests the title and the top 10% of the content should have exactly the same keyword... But how can I manage coz my site title, as well as heading, is 'Best laptops under Rs 70,000 in India' which is not matching with the focus keyword coz of the Rs and comma... Since my site is for the Indian audience, the title with the currency 'Rs' mentioned looks better, also the comma in between numbers makes it easy to understand... But it's not matching with the focus keyword for which a site is already ranking at the top... Moreover, on entering comma in Rank Math, the keyword gets divided... Pls, help me Sir... I am unable to do SEO optimization for such issues... How to deal with this? Pls help me Sir 🙏🏻

[@neilpatel]

It doesn't have to be exactly the keyword. You can add some filler words and what not to make the content flow more smoothly :) Rank Math isn't going to count it as a keyword add but that's fine. Google will.
