    1. What if I have two articles:
    – Best Android Apps 2021
    – Best Android Apps 2022
    Keyphrase is “Best Android Apps”, and its duplicated, is there any problem with that?

    2. How important is that keyphrase should be in first paragraph, meta description (which I don’t write manually) and also have good count number of repeating the keyphrase, which is in my case hard to use in all cases in my language, so what is the most important of those “number of repeating”, or “being in first sentence (meta description)”?

    Hi @mllapan

    If you have several articles with the same keyphrase (e.g. Best Android Apps), then that opens up the chance for keyword cannibalization, where those articles will try to rank and compete for the same search term. If you can, you should avoid it if possible – https://yoast.com/keyword-cannibalization/ & https://yoast.com/find-fix-keyword-cannibalization-issues/

    All of our SEO assessments in the content analysis (such as if the focus keyphrase is in the first paragraph/introduction, and if it’s in the meta description or in the title itself) all will help because Google is getting smarter about processing content and text on a particular post or page.

    If the focus keyphrase isn’t found in the beginning of your content, then that means that it probably isn’t that important of a topic to write about. You want to make it clear even from the get-go. You can learn more about it here – https://yoast.com/focus-keyword/
