A short, modern take that builds on the thread: keyword position still matters as one of many on‑page signals, but it is not a standalone shortcut to higher rank. Search engines today focus on meaning and intent (so exact phrase order is less critical than whether the page actually satisfies a user’s need). See Google’s writeup on language understanding (BERT) and the broader “how search works” explanation for why context and relevance now outweigh mechanical placement. (blog.google)

Control what you can: the page’s title element (the title link Google shows) and the visible page content are the places you can legitimately influence how your page is interpreted and how it appears in results. Meta descriptions help your click-through rate but aren’t a ranking signal; the old meta‑keywords tag is ignored by Google. For details, consult Google’s SEO starter and meta‑tag guidance. (developers.google.com)

Structure and reputation matter more than exact keyword offsets. Use headings to create a clear content outline, write naturally (use useful synonyms and examples), and demonstrate E‑E‑A‑T (experience, expertise, authoritativeness, trustworthiness) where appropriate — especially for YMYL topics. Backlinks and site trust remain strong relevance signals, and you should measure changes in Search Console (look for high‑impression / low‑CTR queries before reworking pages). (developers.google.com)

Practical checklist (quick, actionable):

  • Keep titles unique, descriptive, and readable — don’t stuff keywords.
  • Use one clear H1 and logical subheadings; write the primary topic early but naturally.
  • Skip meta‑keywords entirely; craft meta descriptions to improve CTR, not rank.
  • Track impact in Google Search Console before/after edits and prioritize pages with impressions but low CTR.
    This frames the advice from earlier posters (for example , , ) in today’s ranking landscape: positioning helps, but content quality, intent‑matching, and trust signals are the controlling factors. (developers.google.com)

yes, keyword positioning can affect ranking. However it can help you not a lot if you don't have links to your site.

KEYWORD! Where to put key word or the KEYWORD phrase; the keyphrase?

Oh.

The best place to put stuff is in the best place

You'll discover the best places as your compose your content. Develop your content to captivate an Internet visitor primarily; create something interesting enough for someone to read and that’ll please the search engine too.

Dash your keyphrases in Headings and other word emphasizing techniques but use all the other natural, related keyphrase variations, whenever possible. This is make your content appear important.

Now, from the search engine's perspective, in order for content to appear to be important is needs to indicate intelligence, it’s gotta’ look well-thought out. Uniqueness counts big time too. That's why it's always good to study the English language; continuously; to learn how to write effectively in English; to learn how to write intelligently; too learn the power in antonyms or good synonymous keyphrases; altering prefixes and suffixes as you fly, understand abbreviations, acronyms, how to emphasize a keyphrase interestingly and my personal favourite: morphology.

Write well and for the search engine.

Of course, keyword positioning would affect your SEO efforts. Generally speaking, putting your main targeted keywords at the very beginning of your title tags, meta description tags, h1 tags and page contents would be really helpful for this purpose.

Have a nice day,
