Hello,
We apologize for the issue you are facing with the keywords not being recognized by SEO tools like SEMRUSH. It’s important to ensure that the focus keywords are properly set in Rank Math for each of your pages.
Here are a few things you can check:
- Focus Keyword Set: Make sure that you have indeed set a focus keyword for each post or page. Rank Math requires a focus keyword to analyze your content effectively.
- Post Types: Ensure that the Rank Math Metabox is enabled for the post types you are analyzing. If the Metabox is not enabled, Rank Math won’t be able to analyze those posts for focus keywords.
- SEO Analysis: You can run the SEO Analysis tool within Rank Math to see if there are any alerts regarding missing focus keywords or other issues. This can help identify if there are any problems with your setup.
- Content Optimization: Make sure that your content is optimized around the focus keyword, including its presence in the title, headings, and throughout the content itself.
If everything seems correct and you’re still facing issues, we recommend replying to this ticket so a human agent from the Rank Math Support team can assist you further. Thank you for raising this concern!
Please give me support, I want to make sure that your plugin works.
Kind regards
Hello,
Thank you for contacting us. We apologize for any inconvenience this issue may have caused.
Google has stopped supporting the keywords meta tag because websites were exploiting it to manipulate search engines and create more organic traffic. This means that Google does not consider the keywords meta tag a web page ranking signal, and using it will not affect your search engine rankings. https://developers.google.com/search/blog/2009/09/google-does-not-use-keywords-meta-tag
Because meta keywords are no longer used by search engines and have no bearing on your organic results, Rank Math excludes the keyword’s meta tag by default. Although Rank Math requires you to provide a focus keyword for each post, this information is only used to analyze your content.
With that stated, you may always use the keywords meta tag if you need it for any reason.
If you want to add keywords to your site please follow this guide: https://rankmath.com/kb/keywords-meta-tag/#add-keywords
We hope this helps. Please let us know if you have further questions or concerns.
Thank you.
