Hello, we apologize for the issue you are facing with uploading meta descriptions, titles, and keywords in bulk using Rank Math SEO. Yes, it is possible to upload these in bulk using a CSV file. Here’s a brief overview of the steps you should follow:
Steps to Upload Meta Descriptions, Titles, and Keywords in Bulk:
-
Export Metadata to a CSV File:
- Navigate to Rank Math SEO → Status & Tools → Import & Export in your WordPress admin area.
- Under the CSV File section, go to the Export CSV tab.
- Select the metadata you want to export (make sure to select Posts metadata).
- Click on the Export button to download the CSV file.

-
Edit the CSV File:
- Open the downloaded CSV file in a spreadsheet editor like Google Sheets or Excel.
- Edit the
seo_title
, seo_description
, and any other relevant columns as needed.

-
Import the Edited CSV File:
- Go back to Rank Math SEO → Status & Tools → Import & Export.
- Navigate to the Import CSV tab.
- Click on the Choose File button and select your edited CSV file.
- If you are only adding new data and do not want to overwrite existing data, check the Do not overwrite existing data option.
- Finally, click on the Import button.

-
Check Your Changes:
- After importing, ensure that all changes are reflected in your posts by checking them in your posts screen.

Troubleshooting:
If nothing happens after you upload the file, please ensure that:
- The CSV file is correctly formatted according to Rank Math’s requirements.
- You have the necessary permissions to perform this action.
- There are no errors in the CSV file that could prevent it from being processed.

Hi Reinelle,
Question – the website is on development mode: is it possible to buy the premum and to transfer it to the real url when we go live?
Thanks,
Shiran
Hi Reinelle,
Waiting for your answer before I am upgrading to the premium account just want to make sure it will be valid on the live url as well.
Many thanks,
Shiran
Hello,
Thank you for your patience.
Yes, you can use the Rank Math PRO on your staging site even when it is already published.
Rank Math PRO subscription supports unlimited personal websites, so you can use it on staging environments or published websites.
Personal websites are the ones you own 100% and not a client website or a partnership with someone. A personal website can be a business, earn you money and you can even sell it to anyone but it needs to belong to you.
Looking forward to helping you.
