Hello,
We apologize for the issue you’re facing with setting focus keywords for your products. It’s great that you’re looking into automating this process, especially with a large number of products like yours.
To address your concern, focus keywords are essential for SEO as they help search engines understand the main topic of your content. By setting focus keywords for your products, you can improve their visibility in search results, which can lead to increased traffic and potentially higher sales. Given the size of your product catalog, automating the insertion of focus keywords can save you a significant amount of time and effort.
Regarding the rank-math.php file, it is typically found in your theme’s directory. If you’re using a child theme or a custom theme, you might need to create this file if it doesn’t exist. You can add the provided code snippets to automate the focus keyword setting based on product categories or post titles.
If you have any further questions about implementing this or need assistance with the code, please feel free to reply to this ticket, and a human agent from the Rank Math Support team will assist you further.
Thank you for raising this concern!

Hi, thanks for an automated reply. However, I’d like to ask for an opinion of an experienced human as this is very important to me and I don’t want to mess something up. Thank you. 🙂
Hello,
Thank you for contacting Rank Math support.
You will have to create the rank-math.php file in your theme’s folder. Here is a guide that can help: https://rankmath.com/kb/wordpress-hooks-actions-filters/#rank-math-php-file
You can also use a plugin like Code Snippets to add the code.
Our plugin only uses the focus keyword for content analysis. The purpose of the focus keyword is to help you optimize the content for the term you want to rank. If you’re not going to optimize the products after adding the keywords, then there is no benefit of adding the keywords.
Hope that helps and please do not hesitate to let us know if you need our assistance with anything else.
Hi Jaideep,
Thanks for your reply and explanation. I’m not going to optimise the products as there are way too many to do so manually, therefore it’s probably not necessary to do the keywords. Appreciate your help and have a great day! 🙂
Hello,
We are super happy that we were able to address your concerns.
If you do have another question in the future, please feel free to create a new forum topic, and it will be our pleasure to assist you again.
Thank you.
