Hello,
I apologize for the inconvenience you are facing with the SEO Meta Box for WooCommerce product categories. To activate the SEO Meta Box for product categories in WooCommerce, please follow these steps:
- Navigate to WordPress Dashboard → Rank Math SEO → Titles & Meta → Product Categories.
- Enable the Add SEO Controls option to add the Rank Math SEO Meta Box to the product category archive pages.
If you are unable to find the toggle to activate the SEO Meta Box, please refer to this guide on Rank Math ‘Titles and Meta’ Options and Settings for detailed instructions and screenshots.
If you need further assistance, feel free to reply here, and we will be happy to help.
Thank you for reaching out and bringing this to our attention.

Hello,
Please note that some options are only available when you enable the Advanced Mode in Rank Math. If it’s not showing, you must have chosen to use Easy Mode.
You can follow the steps in this link to switch to Advanced Mode:

Hope that helps.
Thank you that changed it!
Too bad it isn’t in the regular guides (or maybe I’m blind) that you have to change to advanced mode to see this. Why isn’t it activated by default (meta box for product categories) when you activate the plugin? 😊
Hello,
Glad that helped.
The advanced setting can be configured on the Setup Wizard upon installing the plugin. Also, Unlike posts/pages/products, category pages tend to accommodate less content than other pages, and optimizing a category page for organic search rankings might be challenging.
That is why the SEO Meta box is disabled for them by default.
However, if you have any other concerns, please don’t hesitate to contact us anytime to assist you further.
Looking forward to helping you.
