    Hi,

    https://cn.omegaplus.co.nz/ is a website for Chinese Audience.

    The Chinese Marketing team provided us with a spreadsheet to improve the SEO for Chinese Market.

    One of the task was to add Keywords in Chinese.

    They are suggesting us to add the meta tag with keywords.

    Eg: <Meta name=“keywords” content=“宠粮, 湿粮, 猫罐头, 帝王鲑猫罐头, 三文鱼猫罐头, 帝王鲑牛肉猫罐头,帝王鲑鸡肉猫罐头,帝王鲑鸭肉猫罐头”>

    But I do not see the above meta tag when I use the Rank Math’s input for Keywords. I see the following object when I check the page source

    “@type”:”Article”,”headline”:”\u6e7f\u7cae – Omega Plus Pet Food China”,”keywords”:”\u5ba0\u7cae,\u6e7f\u7cae,\u732b\u7f50\u5934,\u5e1d\u738b\u9c91\u732b\u7f50\u5934,\u4e09\u6587\u9c7c\u732b\u7f50\u5934″

    I assume this is the way Rank Math handles key words and I see the Chinese characters has converted to unicode. Can you confirm that this is correct?

    Hello,

    Thank you for contacting Rank Math and bringing your concern to our attention. I’m sorry for any inconvenience this issue may have caused you.

    Google has stopped supporting the keywords meta tag because websites were exploiting it to manipulate search engines and create more organic traffic. This means that Google does not consider the keywords meta tag a web page ranking signal, and using it will not affect your search engine rankings.

    However, you can still achieve that using Rank Math by applying this filter on your site:

    The keywords showing in the schema are shown by default as well.

    Hope that helps.

    Thank you.

    Thank you for the clarification.

    Does this mean even Baidu doesn’t support Keywords anymore

    Hello,

    Unlike Google, Baidu still includes meta descriptions and meta keywords in its ranking factors.

    You can also refer to these articles explaining the same:

    Hope that helps.

    Thank you.
