Set or Check Target Keyword for Site Optimizer

I’ve noticed that many times the site optimizer will choose a “Better” SEO Title and Meta description for a page, but it removes the actual keyword the page was targeting and places it with something more generic. This kills any type of long-tail strategy.

Example: A page created to target “How To Fix The WordPress White Screen Of Death“
has a suggested SEO Title change to “WordPress White Screen of Death: Step-by-Step Fix & Troubleshooting Guide“

But the “How to fix…” is an important part of how it’s ranking.

It would be nice if we could somehow upload a list of target keywords for each page/URL of a site, so those would be adhered to when its suggesting optimizations. It could either be like a excel file upload with two columns; Page URL and Keyword, or a more niche approach would be for it to check the “Target Keyword” set in the Yoast SEO settings field of a WordPress site.

Or another approach could be to connect it to google search console, so it can check which search query/keyword is bringing in the most traffic to that page and use that same keyword for the optimization. Otherwise it can break what’s already working/ranking well.

Thank you!
