Hello,
We apologize for the issue you are facing. Unfortunately, you cannot directly import meta titles and meta descriptions using the standard WooCommerce product importer by adding the rank_math_title and rank_math_description columns to your CSV file. The WooCommerce importer does not support importing SEO metadata directly.
To import meta titles and descriptions for your products, you would need to use the Rank Math’s dedicated CSV import feature. Here’s how you can do it:
-
Export Metadata to a CSV File: Navigate to Rank Math SEO → Status & Tools → Import & Export in your WordPress admin area. Under the CSV File section, select the Export CSV tab to download the current SEO metadata.
-
Edit the CSV File: Open the exported CSV file in a spreadsheet editor like Google Sheets or Excel. You can add or edit the seo_title and seo_description columns as needed.
-
Import the CSV File: After making your changes, go back to Rank Math SEO → Status & Tools → Import & Export, and under the Import CSV tab, upload your edited CSV file.
Make sure to back up your database before performing any imports to avoid data loss.
For more detailed guidance on editing and importing metadata at scale, you can refer to our tutorial here.
If you need further assistance or a more comprehensive setup, we recommend considering our professional setup service, which ensures your plugin is configured correctly according to the latest SEO standards. You can find more information about this service here.
Thank you for raising this concern! If you have any more questions or need further clarification, feel free to reply to this ticket.

Hello,
If I have products already in woocommerce, but they have no rankmath data, can I use the Rank Math’s dedicated CSV import feature to import data? If so, is there a template I can use? Or should I do an export, in order to get the template? Thanks,
Hello,
To import the meta titles/descriptions, you may need to match the columns with Rank Math’s metadata.
So, you can export the metadata first to get the template and match those from your WooCommerce CSV columns.
Here are the columns in Rank Math’s CSV:

Also, please note that Rank Math’s CSV feature is available with Rank Math PRO.
Looking forward to helping you.
