    Hello!! The focus keyword that I inserted before publishing the post doesn’t come up anywhere in the post….
    I used view page source to check for the specific keywords but they’re nowhere to be found.
    So how does focus keyword work and how will I rank it if the focus keyword is not being inserted to the post.

    Hello,

    Thank you for contacting Rank Math, and sorry for any inconvenience caused.

    We use focus keywords to measure the internal SEO score, we do not add them to the page source.

    You can read more about it here:
    https://rankmath.com/kb/what-is-a-focus-keyword/

    ​Please note that Google does not honor Meta Keywords for quite a long now so we never added them to the plugin.

    You can read more about that here:
    https://webmasters.googleblog.com/2009/09/google-does-not-use-keywords-meta-tag.html
    ​
    ​However, you can use the focus keyword set within Rank Math as meta keyword for your posts/pages/products using this filter in your theme’s functions.php file:

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

    Hope that helps. If you have any further questions, please let us know.
    ​
    ​Thank you.
