Using the same keywords for multiple pages

    Rankmath warns me when I’ve already used a keyword previously. I have a webshop in which I have many products. Using Woocommerce, there is a product entry for each product, naturally, so that each product shows up separately on the shop page. I also showcase that product on a projects page, however. The projects pages are viewable as normal pages you can navigate on the site and the products pages are only viewable if you click on a product via the shop page. Is it still a bad idea to use the same keyword for both the product as well as project?

    Similarly, what’s the best practice for when you have multiple products that are very similar to each other and you really want to use the same keywords for them all. For example, I have 3 versions of a crossword number puzzle – one with 6×6 grids, one with 8×8 grids and one with 10×10 grids. I want to use the keyword ‘crossword number puzzle’ for all of them, since it’s highly unlikely anyone will be using the search time ‘crossword number puzzle 6×6’, for example, but more likely just ‘crossword number puzzle’. What’s the best solution for this type of conflict?

    Hello,

    Thank you for contacting Rank Math and bringing your concern to our attention.

    Targeting more than one post/page for the same keyword is not ideal or recommended.

    When you use a keyword on more than one page, you will also see a failed test You have used this keyword before.

    Please check this link for more details:

    Optimizing two different pages/posts with the same keyword means your content won’t be so unique to the different pages. Here is a deeper description of this test: https://rankmath.com/kb/score-100-in-tests/#focus-keyword-uniqueness-primary-focus-keyword-only

    I hope that helps. Thank you, and please don’t hesitate to contact us anytime if you need further assistance with anything else.
