Short version: the keywords meta tag is essentially useless for Google and other major engines today. As hinted, search engines care far more about crawlable, meaningful HTML and actual page content than a hidden keywords field. Following and , register your site in Google Search Console so you can see indexing feedback. Also note 's point: bots read the final HTML they can fetch — content only produced client-side may not be indexed unless you handle rendering correctly. See the SEO starter guide for current best practices (Google Search Central) and why the keywords tag is ignored (Moz explanation).

Quick checklist to make pages discoverable and rankable:

  • Ensure pages are crawlable (no accidental noindex, robots block, or broken links).
  • Use unique, descriptive title tags and meta descriptions; make headings reflect the page topic.
  • Provide an XML sitemap and submit it to Search Console (standard at sitemaps.org).
  • Keep URLs simple and human-readable; prefer 301 redirects for moved pages and canonical links for duplicates.
  • Add descriptive alt text to images and structured data where relevant for richer results.
  • Improve mobile friendliness and page speed — both affect visibility.

If your site uses heavy JavaScript, follow JavaScript SEO guidance: render meaningful content server-side, use dynamic rendering, or pre-render pages so crawlers see the same text users do (Google on JS SEO).

Practical next steps: submit a sitemap to Search Console, use the URL inspection and coverage reports, test indexing with site:yourdomain.com keyword, and be patient — indexing and ranking take time. To appear for a given keyword you need relevant content plus links pointing to that content; focus on useful pages and natural link building rather than meta tags or shortcuts.

there are so many threads about this topic, the meta tags aren't as important as making your content readable to bots.

A GOOD way is to sign up at google for a webmaster account,
then read the helpscreens.
Google tell you what google look for.
tell you how to prepare your site before submission(dont submit a dud)
tell you how to submit it
tell you when it was/is/will be spidered
give you feedback through webmaster tools to make it index better.
get links to your site, they tell you how to do that to.

not google exclusive, yahoo msn Jeeves do too

if you cant find the webmaster tools
google for google webmaster tools

If you still cant find it
then read the helpscreens.
a little effort to sort out some technish (googlespeak), and it works

Yes, Google Webmaster Tools are the best to follow. You won't require anything else if you follow all of those.

follow all the steps on the google webmaster. Its still hard to search from some keywords. I want to show my website on google when i type something like "keywords" and then it could easily find my site.

Member Avatar for almostbob

in the time between the first post and now
it is impossible that the site has been respidered,
that 'keywords' that you think are important have been included.
the process of preparing for submission can not be complete yet, so if submitted, you have submitted a dud.
you did not read the helpscreens, because they say
WAIT for changes to take effect
often, repetitively and in big letters

What the bots look for:

Plain text in the HTML file.

It's not going to look for the following:

- Stuff in scripts
- Dynamic content
- Images
- Other objects
- Auxiliary files
- Any html created during rendering
