    I did a quick SEO test on a Chrome SEO Extension.

    The Extension Analysis Report is showing “missing keyword”, yet I have defined a Focus K/W “luxury villas in Kenya” on the Home Page?

    Why is there a disparity, given the keyword(s) has an impact in SEO Ranking ?

    Hello,

    Thank you for contacting Rank Math today.

    I believe that this extension checks for the existence of the meta name=”keywords” tag on the page source but Rank Math as well as many other SEO plugins do not add this tag anymore.
    This is because search engines stopped using this tag to check for keywords a few years back.

    Rank Math makes it possible to take full control of your SEO and you can easily enable this tag by adding the following code to your theme’s functions.php file:

    /**
 * Add <meta name="keywords" content="focus keywords">.
 */
add_filter( 'rank_math/frontend/show_keywords', '__return_true');

    Looking forward to helping you. Thank you.
