Keywords Not Displaying?

    Rank Math free

    Hello,

    I use Rank Math for a number of sites that I manage, and to double check meta data I use Screaming Frog SEO Spider tool. I have just realized that for all of my Rank Math sites, the SEO Spider tool does not find any keywords, even though I have that data entered on the site and all its pages for sure. The H1, H2, etc. tags and the meta descriptions are all found, but it cannot find meta keywords for any pages on any of my websites.

    I am worried that if this tool isn’t finding them, then is this actually hurting my SEO? To test it, I switched from Rank Math to Yoast and re-ran the SEO Spider tool and all of the data displayed fine with Yoast. So what could the issue possibly be and how do I have fix it?

    Hello,

    Thank you for contacting Rank Math support and we apologize for the inconvenience.

    Google had stopped using the Keyword Meta Tags because some site owners were using it to manipulate the search results and in view of that decision, we stopped adding the tags to website so as not to snd the wrong signal to Google.

    That said, if you still want to use this tag on your site, please add the following code to your site:

    /**
 * Add <meta name="keywords" content="focus keywords">.
 */
add_filter( 'rank_math/frontend/show_keywords', '__return_true');

    You can learn how to add the code to your site here: https://rankmath.com/kb/wordpress-hooks-actions-filters/

    We hope this helps clarify the issue. If you have any other questions or concerns, please feel free to contact us again. We are always happy to assist you.
