Hello!
It seems like Yoast SEO doesn’t recognize the home page widget area.
Bad SEO score The text contains 44 words. This is far below the recommended minimum of 300 words. Add more content that is relevant for the topic.
Bad SEO score The focus keyword doesn’t appear in the first paragraph of the copy. Make sure the topic is clear immediately.
Bad SEO score No images appear in this page, consider adding some as appropriate.

For creating the home page, I went to dashboard-appearance-widgets-home widget area-page builder and inside that, I used Visual editor for text and image menu for images and a slideshow. The only way Yoast counted my word length (44) is by inserting visual editor with text on the home page from dashboard-all pages-home page. But this text will NOT appear on my home page.

I do not have the same problem with other pages since I create structure and content directly from the pages themselves, but I am wondering if I am lowering my visibility on google as far as the home pages (english and french).
Is there a way to add text to the home page outside of ‘home page widget area’ that is ‘visible’ and that Yoast SEO and google search engines will pick up?
