    Rank Math free

    Hi
    i’m using Rank Math free on a few websites. I always use metadescription field and metatitle. I was wondering if there is also a meta keyword field.
    Is the focus keyword equal to meta keyword (caught up by bots) or is it just a measure for the internal seo score?

    I tested the website https://www.sailadv.com/ and it says that metakeywords are missing. Where can I implement them within Rank Math plugin?

    Thanks

    Hello,

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

    ​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

    We use focus keywords to measure the internal SEO score.

    ​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:

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

    ​Thank you.

    hi Anas
    thanks. I guess if google is not using them anymore, and my clients are using mostly google, it’s almost useless to add them

    Thanks for your help
