Common Issues & Solutions
Updated March 11, 2026
Quick fixes for the most common issues.
Google Search Console Issues
Can't Connect GSC
Fixes:
- Verify you are signed in with the correct Google account.
- Ensure you have Owner or Full User permissions in GSC.
- Try disconnecting and reconnecting.
- Verify your site is set up at search.google.com/search-console.
No Properties Found
Fixes:
- Sign in with the correct Google account (the one that owns the GSC property).
- Ensure you have Owner or Full User access in GSC.
- Try a different account if needed.
Import Stuck or Failed
Fixes:
- Wait 10–30 minutes (sites with 1,000+ pages can take up to 30 minutes to process).
- Check your internet connection.
- Refresh the page and try re-importing.
- Contact support if it fails repeatedly.
Content Optimization Issues
No Opportunities Found
Fixes:
- Ensure Google Search Console is connected and imported.
- 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.
- Wait for the import to finish (most sites take a few minutes; larger sites can take up to 24 hours).
- Try re-importing GSC data if the list is still empty.
Entity Score Stuck Low
Fixes (see Improving Your Entity Score for full details):
- Add the Red entities — these are topics you haven't mentioned yet. Find them in the Optimize tab of the editor sidebar.
- Increase mentions of Yellow entities — topics you've mentioned but need more depth.
- Reduce Orange entities — topics you've overused (potential keyword stuffing).
- Write more comprehensive content (aim for 1,000+ words).
Wizard Won't Advance
Fixes:
- Ensure all required fields are filled.
- Refresh the page.
- Clear browser cache.
- Contact support if the issue persists.
WordPress Export Issues
Export Not Working
Fixes:

- Verify your Application Password hasn't expired.
- Ensure you have Editor or Administrator permissions.
- Check that your site is accessible (not down or behind maintenance mode).
- Try disconnecting and reconnecting.
Export Failed
Fixes:
- Check that your site is online.
- Verify your Application Password is still valid.
- Check for security plugins (Wordfence, iThemes) blocking the connection. Whitelist Content Raptor's IP.
- Try exporting again.
- Check WordPress error logs if available.
Rank Tracking Issues
Rankings Not Updating
Fixes:
- Rankings update daily (can take a few hours).
- Try manually refreshing by clicking the refresh icon next to the "Last Updated" timestamp on the project page.
- Verify the project is active and not paused.
- Contact support if updates are delayed more than 24 hours.
Rankings Look Wrong
Fixes:
