Schema Builder – keywords

Hello,

Thanks for contacting us.

The Keywords section in the Article schema is used to add the Keywords in the schema data. Focus Keywords, by the variable %keywords%, are added by default in this field.

As you specify focus keywords on your posts or pages, the Keywords field in the Article schema would be populated automatically.

However, if you wish to manually enter the keywords, then you can enter them without any spaces and by separating them with a comma. There is no limit in entering the number of keywords in this field, however, do note that specifying a huge number of keywords in this field is not going to help the website’s SEO.

I suggest you, either leave this field with its default value or specify a reasonable number of keywords.

Hope this helps.

Thanks.

Hello,

Thanks for your reply.

Please add the below code snippet at the end of your theme’s functions.php file to add the keywords in the Article schema of all the existing posts.

add_filter( 'rank_math/snippet/rich_snippet_article_entity', function( $entity ) {
    $entity['keywords'] = get_post_meta( get_the_ID(), 'rank_math_focus_keyword', true );
    return $entity;
});

Please let us know how that goes.

Thanks.

Hello,

Thanks for your reply and we’re glad that the snippet helped.

I’m not sure whether I fully understand the question. But I’ll do my best–and please let me know if I misunderstood!

If you’re saying that the Keywords field is not available in the Service schema, then yes, the Keywords field is added only to the Article Schema.

As by default, the keyword field is populated by Focus Keywords, adding the keywords field to multiple schemas would duplicate the data, and displaying identical data multiple times on the page is not a good practice from an SEO point of view.

Hope this helps in further clarifying the doubts.

Thanks.
