Are meta keywords still relevant for SEO optimization?

jennySS · ‎02-22-2022

Hi Dear Sir/Madam

Previously to improve SEO, each website page will include a tag "keywords" apart of "description" "h1,h2,h3..." and "alt" for example...
<meta name="keywords" content="Keyword1, Keyword2, Keyword3">

But I have checked.. shopify doesn't have any way to insert this information for pages/products/collections

So I did some research on web and seems "keywords" tag is not useful anymore for SEO?

https://www.semrush.com/blog/meta-keywords/

1. Please can someone provide some information ?
2. And would like to confirm: is is because "keyword" tags are irrelevant.. is this the reason that's why shopify will not provide this functionality?

Many thanks!

Hi,

Shopify doesn't have the option for meta keywords. But you can use metafield and liquid to add meta keywords.

Hi,

Could you please give me an example in liquid code how to add for each different product a different meta keyword please?

For example for the Product A:
<meta name="keywords" content="keyword_A1, keyword_A2, keyword_A3">
For example for the Product B:
<meta name="keywords" content="keyword_B1, keyword_B2, keyword_B3">

And need to be in between the head tag, that is located at theme.liquid?

Many Thanks !

Hi,

For example:

{%- assign og_meta_keywords_prd = product.metafields.og_meta_keywords.content -%}
{%- if request.page_type == "product" and og_meta_keywords_prd != blank -%}
  {{ og_meta_keywords_prd }}
{%- endif -%}

I hope this can help you.

Hi

1. Where should I add this code? in which liquid file? at theme.liquid? between "head" tag?

{%- assign og_meta_keywords_prd = product.metafields.og_meta_keywords.content -%} {%- if request.page_type == "product" and og_meta_keywords_prd != blank -%} {{ og_meta_keywords_prd }} {%- endif -%}

2. Where should I add the VALUE of product.metafields,og_meta_keywords.content?
for example if I have Keyword_A1, Keyword_A2 for product A

3. Can I add this for Shopify1.0 and Shopify 2.0?

4. Can add it from each product from the shopify CMS?

Thank you so much for your time

Thanks Kai for the details.

But by doing the steps the keywords are getting visible on the header.

Also will good be counting these keywords in terms of SEO ?

billionaireup · ‎12-22-2023

this will solve the issue on keywords that are visible on the header.

{%- assign og_meta_keywords_prd = product.metafields.og_meta_keywords.content -%}
{%- if request.page_type == "product" and og_meta_keywords_prd != blank -%}
  <meta name="keywords" content="{{ og_meta_keywords_prd }}">
{%- endif -%}
