    Rank Math free

    Hi Rank Math Support Team,

    I have been using the Rank Math SEO plugin to optimize my WordPress website.
    I understand that meta keywords are no longer a ranking factor for Google, but I would still like to include them for other search engines or platforms that might use them. Could you please guide me on how to manually add meta keywords using Rank Math or let me know if there’s a setting that I might be missing to enable them?

  • Hello,

    We apologize for the issue you are facing. To add the “ tag using Rank Math, you can follow these steps:

    1. Install and activate the Rank Math plugin on your WordPress site. If you haven’t installed it yet, you can find step-by-step instructions in the Rank Math setup guide.

    2. Once Rank Math is activated, you can include the keywords meta tag by using a filter in your theme’s functions.php or rank-math.php file. You can create a rank-math.php file in the path /wp-content/themes/theme-name/rank-math.php using FTP or cPanel File Manager.

    3. Open your theme’s functions.php or rank-math.php file and add the following code snippet:

      /**
      * Add .
      */
      add_filter( 'rank_math/frontend/show_keywords', '__return_true');
    4. Save the changes to your file.

    By adding this filter, Rank Math will display the keywords meta tag on your website.

    Please note that while you can add this tag, search engines like Google no longer use it as a ranking signal. However, if you still want to include it for other reasons, you can follow the steps mentioned above.

    If you have any further questions or need assistance, feel free to ask!
