Focus keywords

Hello,

Thank you for contacting Rank Math today.

1. Focus keywords are not meant to be displayed in your page front-end. They are used by Rank math to help you analyze your content and provide guidelines on what to do to improve your page/post SEO.
2. There are a numbe rof tools you can use to preview your site description:: Metatags.io, heymeta.com or you can use our SEO Analyzer, which is similar to the SEO analysis tool in your Rank math plugin.
3. Would you please share a screencast so we can understand what you mean by it appears and disappears. You can use loom.com to record your screencast.

Looking forward to helping you. Thank you.

Hello,

I will go step by step:

“From where these keywords are coming. These are related to this particular page or from the website” Those keywords come from the most used keywords in your current page.

“From where this title and description is coming. This is related to the current page or which page.” It comes from the Title and Description you set in your post, or if you didn’t, it comes from the one generated by Rank Math using the settings in your global meta settings.

“Your page contains no noindex meta or header.
It is saying “noindex”.
I am confused here. are we restricting the page to index here” That is not an issue, it is telling you it didn’t found a “noindex” tag so your page will be indexed (just as you wanted).

“How can I solve this.” You could install some plugin to hide that your website is using WordPress. For example: https://wordpress.org/plugins/hide-my-wp/, https://wordpress.org/plugins/hide-my-wp-lite/, https://codecanyon.net/item/hide-my-wp-amazing-security-plugin-for-wordpress/4177158

Looking forward to help you.

Hello Gabriel,

Do you mean you don’t see the meta keywords tag in your source code? Or do you mean you have some kind of issue in the Rank Math panel when entering the focus keywords?

Looking forward to help you.

Hi Gabriel,
​
​Please note that Google does not honor Meta Keywords for quite a long now so we never added them to the plugin.

You can read more about that here:
https://webmasters.googleblog.com/2009/09/google-does-not-use-keywords-meta-tag.html
​
​However, you can use the focus keyword set within Rank Math as meta keyword for your posts/pages/products using this filter in your theme’s functions.php file:

Hope that helps. If you have any further question(s), please let us know.
​
​Thank you.
