Common Issues & Solutions

Updated March 11, 2026

Quick fixes for the most common issues.

Google Search Console Issues

Can't Connect GSC

Fixes:

  1. Verify you are signed in with the correct Google account.
  2. Ensure you have Owner or Full User permissions in GSC.
  3. Try disconnecting and reconnecting.
  4. Verify your site is set up at search.google.com/search-console.

No Properties Found

Fixes:

  1. Sign in with the correct Google account (the one that owns the GSC property).
  2. Ensure you have Owner or Full User access in GSC.
  3. Try a different account if needed.

Import Stuck or Failed

Fixes:

  1. Wait 10–30 minutes (sites with 1,000+ pages can take up to 30 minutes to process).
  2. Check your internet connection.
  3. Refresh the page and try re-importing.
  4. Contact support if it fails repeatedly.

Content Optimization Issues

No Opportunities Found

Fixes:

  1. Ensure Google Search Console is connected and imported.
  2. Make sure your site has existing rankings in Google — Content Raptor needs search performance data to find opportunities. If your site is brand new or hasn't been indexed, there won't be data to analyze yet.
  3. Wait for the import to finish (most sites take a few minutes; larger sites can take up to 24 hours).
  4. Try re-importing GSC data if the list is still empty.

Entity Score Stuck Low

Fixes (see Improving Your Entity Score for full details):

  1. Add the Red entities — these are topics you haven't mentioned yet. Find them in the Optimize tab of the editor sidebar.
  2. Increase mentions of Yellow entities — topics you've mentioned but need more depth.
  3. Reduce Orange entities — topics you've overused (potential keyword stuffing).
  4. Write more comprehensive content (aim for 1,000+ words).

Wizard Won't Advance

Fixes:

  1. Ensure all required fields are filled.
  2. Refresh the page.
  3. Clear browser cache.
  4. Contact support if the issue persists.

WordPress Export Issues

Export Not Working

Fixes:

  1. Ensure your WordPress site is connected in Settings.
  2. Verify your Application Password hasn't expired.
  3. Ensure you have Editor or Administrator permissions.
  4. Check that your site is accessible (not down or behind maintenance mode).
  5. Try disconnecting and reconnecting.

Export Failed

Fixes:

  1. Check that your site is online.
  2. Verify your Application Password is still valid.
  3. Check for security plugins (Wordfence, iThemes) blocking the connection. Whitelist Content Raptor's IP.
  4. Try exporting again.
  5. Check WordPress error logs if available.

Rank Tracking Issues

Rankings Not Updating

Fixes:

  1. Rankings update daily (can take a few hours).
  2. Try manually refreshing by clicking the refresh icon next to the "Last Updated" timestamp on the project page.
  3. Verify the project is active and not paused.
  4. Contact support if updates are delayed more than 24 hours.

Rankings Look Wrong

Fixes:

  1. Rankings vary by location and device. Ensure your tracking settings match your target audience — verify in Project Settings.
  2. Verify the target URL is correct for each keyword.
  3. Small fluctuations (±3 positions) are normal day-to-day.
