Hello,
We apologize for the issue you are facing. Currently, Rank Math does not support using %title%
directly in the Focus Keyword field. The Focus Keyword field is designed for you to manually enter specific keywords that you want to target for your content. While it may seem logical to have such an option, it is not available at this time.
If you have further suggestions or feedback regarding this feature, we recommend replying to this ticket, and a human agent from the Rank Math Support team will be able to assist you further.
Thank you for raising your concern!
Hello,
Thank you so much for getting in touch.
Currently, variables like %title%
can’t be used in the Focus Keyword field, as keywords should be strategically selected for optimization. It’s best to manually choose keywords that align with your SEO goals.
However, we do have an option to automatically insert post/page titles as your focus keyword. You may refer to this guide on how to implement it: https://rankmath.com/kb/how-to-automate-the-insertion-of-focus-keyword/
Hope that helps.
Thanks
I really feel though the best way would be to manually add %title% when required – quick and simple. Also means any different keyword can be applied a nd you still have full control over the focus keyword. The snippet solution is good but does not give you complete control
Therefore can I ask that this be a feature request or if the syntax can not be applied then have a toggle in the Rank Math product page interface to add title to focus keyword
Thanks
