This factor counts how many times your keyword’s variations appear inside the labels of expandable <summary> elements. It is a count of raw captured summary text, not a target — a higher number tracks with, but never guarantees, position within a result set.

What it measures
This factor counts keyword variations that appear in the visible labels of expandable <details> widgets — the clickable text a reader taps to reveal hidden content. Rather than looking at the body of the disclosure, it looks only at the <summary> label itself and tallies how often your keyword’s variations surface there.
How RankGear measures it
RankGear captures recognized <summary> pairs and extracts capture group two — the inner label text — without cleaning it. It then totals case-insensitive, whole-word matches of the keyword’s variations across that captured text. Because the capture is taken as-is, any nested markup inside the label stays part of what is counted.
What RankGear looks for
<summary>What are the shipping variations?</summary>
<summary>Shipping <strong>variation</strong> details</summary>How to optimize it
Treat this as an observation, not a quota to fill. Write concise summaries that accurately preview the content behind each disclosure, and let relevant terms and their variations appear naturally where they genuinely help a reader understand what they are about to expand. Clarity of the label should drive the wording; the count is a byproduct of writing useful summaries, not a goal to pad.
Important considerations
- Nested markup remains in the capture, so tags inside a
<summary>label are counted as part of the raw text. - The factor does not verify that a parent
<details>element exists — it counts recognized<summary>pairs on their own. - Repetitive FAQ labels that reuse the same phrasing can inflate the value without adding meaning.
- Clarity should drive wording; a higher count correlates with position but does not cause a page to rank.
