Hello, we apologize for the issue you are facing. Yes, Rank Math does allow you to bulk upload metadata using a CSV file. Here’s how you can do it:
-
Export Metadata to a CSV File: First, navigate to Rank Math SEO → Status & Tools → Import & Export in your WordPress admin area. Under the CSV File section, go to the Export CSV tab to download the current metadata.
-
Edit the CSV File: Open the CSV file in a spreadsheet editor like Google Sheets or Excel. You can edit the metadata for your posts here. Once you’ve made the necessary changes, save the file as a CSV.
-
Import the CSV File: After editing, go back to Rank Math SEO → Status & Tools → Import & Export and navigate to the Import CSV tab. Click on Choose File to select your edited CSV file.
- If you are only adding new data and do not want to overwrite existing metadata, make sure to check the Do not overwrite existing data option.
- Finally, click on Import to upload your metadata.
-
Check the SEO Metadata: Once imported, verify that all changes are reflected in your posts by checking them in your posts screen.
If you need further assistance or want to ensure everything is set up correctly, we recommend our professional setup service available at Rank Math Services. This service requires a PRO subscription and is designed for users who want comprehensive assistance with their plugin setup.

Hello, Can I have a more personalised reply please?
I have the file already and I don’t need all the data that are mentioned in the CSV file. I mean that If I download the CSV file that is mentioned above, I would need to match its data with mine I assume. What do you think?

Hello,
Thank for your reply,
I would like to know if it’s possible to upload an excel list which includes only the three below points:
URLs, meta titles and meta descriptions.
Does the plugin work just by adding only these 3 data?
Please let me know so I continue with the purchase,
Thanks,
Angelos
Hello,
Yes, you can choose to modify only those fields.
The best way to use the CSV import/export feature without errors is to first export the metadata, make your modifications, and then import it back. This way you will not be burdened with following the right table format.
The whole steps and more are explained here: https://rankmath.com/kb/editing-seo-meta-at-scale/#csv
We hope this helps. Please let us know if you have further questions or concerns.
