Rank Math checklist: the keyword is in the title, two H2s, and the alt text. It appears about 5 times in roughly 300 words, which is about 1.6%. There’s one external link, two internal links, and two power words. Add a second external link, such as the Wikimedia Foundation website, if Rank Math asks for more. Update the internal slugs to match your site.
