    I had asked you the same long question a few days back. Adding to that question to clear some doubts. I have around 140 Blog Posts about PowerPoint Animation. What I am not clear about is the Secondary Focus Keyword as RankMath Supports up to 5 Focus Keywords. As you had replied to my previous ticket that we should use Unique Focus Keywords for each post so they are not assumed as duplicate contents.

    I am going to update all my 140 Blog Posts about PowerPoint Animation to add 4 more Secondary Focus Keywords. So, let’s say I have 2 posts: Bicycle Animation in PowerPoint and Giraffe Animation in PowerPoint.

    As a Primary Focus Keyword, I am using “Bicycle Animation in PowerPoint” or “Giraffe Animation in PowerPoint”. So, as we can add 4 more Secondary Keywords like, “Giraffe Animation”, “Giraffe Animation PowerPoint”, “PowerPoint Giraffe Animation” but can we target “Animation in PowerPoint” as our 4th Focus Keyword for all 140 Blog Posts. Is that will be good for SEO purposes, if I want to target all my blog posts for “animation in powerpoint” as an optional keyword. I want all of them to appear in Search Results either if someone looking for “Bicycle Animation in PowerPoint” or “Animation in PowerPoint”. Is that will be a good idea or I should use all 5 keywords according to post-specific contents?

    Another example is: I have 20 Posts on YouTube Intro Templates created in PowerPoint and all of them have unique Primary Focus Keyword along with unique Title and Descriptions but they all belong to the same Template Category like “We Are Together YouTube Intro Template in PowerPoint” or “Bold and Beautiful YouTube Intro Template in PowerPoint”.

    So, the Primary Focus Keyword is matching with the Title like “Together YouTube Intro Template” but can I focus the rest 4 secondary keywords like “YouTube Intro Templates”, “Intro Templates”, “PowerPoint Intro Templates”, “YouTube Intro Templates in PowerPoint” for all the 20 posts of the same category.

    I detail explanation will highly be appreciated.

    Hello,

    Thank you for contacting Rank Math and bringing your concern to our attention.

    The examples you have provided looks fine. When you use a keyword on more than one post, you will also see a failed test You have used this keyword before. Targeting more than one post for the same focus keyword is not ideal or recommended. You can also check the link below for more information:

    Yes, you can optimize your posts with focus keywords as long as it will not be duplicated in another post as a focus keyword. Meaning, you can use a primary focus keyword from one post as a secondary (up to 5th) focus keyword on other posts.

    I hope that helps. Thank you, and please don’t hesitate to contact us if you need further assistance.

    Thanks a lot for your response. One last thing: Let’s say I am writing a post on Neon Animation in PowerPoint and using the same as Primary Focus Keyword. The other 4 Secondary Focus Keywords are like “Neon Animation”, “PowerPoint Neon Animation”, “Text Animation in PowerPoint”, and “Animation in PowerPoint”.

    Where the 3rd and 4th Secondary Focus Keywords might be used again as Secondary Keywords for other posts. So that means, we should use a Unique Primary Focus Keyword for each post, which is the Rule, and Secondary Focus Keywords can be repeat as “Secondary Keywords” in as many posts we want. Is that right?

    Like, can I use “Animation in PowerPoint” as Secondary Focus Keyword (any position from 2nd to 5th) in all the posts and only once as Primary Focus Keyword?

    Hello,

    If you want the keyword to be common for all you posts, you can freely add this.

    Keep in mind that the keywords added on the posts are normally used to optimize your posts content. If you should be focused on any data, it should be making sure your content is optimized in relation to the keywords you wish to have your posts appear for.

    I would also suggest that you go through our guide on this page : https://mythemeshop.com/blog/keyword-research/

    Hope this helps
