Hello,

Thank you for your query and we are so sorry about the trouble this must have caused.

At the moment, we don’t have any API to update those metas outside WordPress.

The query you have shared seems to be correct, however, there is a typographical issue in the query.

Please try the query below and see if that would work on your end.

INSERT INTO wp_termmeta (term_id, meta_key, meta_value)
VALUES (334, 'rank_math_title', 'New SEO Title')
ON DUPLICATE KEY UPDATE meta_value = 'New SEO Title';

INSERT INTO wp_termmeta (term_id, meta_key, meta_value)
VALUES (334, 'rank_math_description', 'New SEO Description')
ON DUPLICATE KEY UPDATE meta_value = 'New SEO Description';

If the issue persists, please share the specific error message you received when running the query.

Looking forward to helping you.
