Automatically Use the product name as the Focus Keyword

Hi there,

Thanks for contacting Rank Math support. We’re happy to help you with your focus keyword question.

We have a solution for you. You can use a filter code that we have created for this purpose. This filter code will loop through all your products and set the product name as the focus keyword for each product.

Here’s the code you need to add:

/**
 * Function to automatically update the focus keyword with the product name
 */
function update_focus_keywords()
{
    $posts = get_posts(array(
        'posts_per_page'    => -1,
        'post_type'        => 'product' //replace post with the name of your post type
    ));
    foreach ($posts as $p) {
        update_post_meta($p->ID, 'rank_math_focus_keyword', strtolower(get_the_title($p->ID)));
    }
}
add_action('init', 'update_focus_keywords');

To add this code to your site, you can use one of these methods:

• Add it to your theme’s functions.php file or rank-math.php file. You can find these files in your WordPress dashboard > Appearance > Theme File Editor (for a Classic Theme) or WordPress Dashboard > Tools > Theme File Editor (for a Block Theme).
• Add it to a custom plugin or a code snippet plugin. You can use a plugin like Code Snippets to add the code easily.

Please try it and let us know if it worked for your goal.

Thank you for choosing Rank Math!
