Hello,
I apologize for the issue you are facing. When you set a Focus Keyword for a WooCommerce product in the backend using Rank Math, it does not directly appear in the front-end source code as a visible text. Instead, the Focus Keyword is used by Rank Math to optimize various elements of your product page for search engines, which helps Google understand what your page is about.
Here’s how it works:
- SEO Title and Meta Description: The Focus Keyword is often included in the SEO title and meta description, which are visible in search engine results but not necessarily in the page’s HTML source code. You can check these by viewing the page source and looking for
and tags.
- Content Optimization: Rank Math analyzes your product content to ensure that the Focus Keyword is used appropriately within the product description, headings, and other relevant areas. This helps improve your chances of ranking for that keyword.
- Structured Data: Rank Math may also implement structured data (schema markup) that helps search engines understand the content of your page better, which can include information related to your Focus Keyword.
To ensure that your Focus Keyword is effectively utilized, make sure to include it in key areas such as:
- The product title
- The product description
- The SEO title and meta description (which you can edit in the Rank Math meta box)

also I added below code to wp-content/themes/woodmart-child/functions.php.
Then I go to edit product page, the focus keyword field is still empty.
/**
* Function to automatically update the focus keyword with the post title
*/
function update_focus_keywords()
{
$posts = get_posts(array(
‘posts_per_page’ => -1,
‘post_type’ => ‘post’ //replace post with the name of your post type
));
foreach ($posts as $p) {
update_post_meta($p->ID, ‘rank_math_focus_keyword’, strtolower(get_the_title($p->ID)));
}
}
add_action(‘init’, ‘update_focus_keywords’);
