SEO on Free Version
-
Hi, I have the free version and know that the WordPress SEO functionality is only available for the business version, but I have been trying to manually add meta tags & keywords to the code. However, after I save, my tags disappear. Is this because WordPress doesn’t even allow you to add manual meta tags/keywords if you have the free version or am I doing something wrong?
This is the format of the tags I’ve been trying to add:
<html>
<head>
<title>Premier East Valley Realty – Homes for Sale</title>
<meta name=’description’ content=’Premier East Valley Realty
specializing in luxury real estate. We are your location
specialists.’>
<meta name=’keywords’ content=’Real Estate,Agent,Realtor,Buy,
Home,Sell,Homes,Sale,Broker,Commercial,invest,investing,investor’>
</head>The blog I need help with is peacejoyaustin.wordpress.com.
The blog I need help with is: (visible only to logged in users)

We cannot add anything to the <header> area. There is no metadata access.

re: search engine discoverability
It can take weeks for search engines to index your site content. Please read this support doc https://en.support.wordpress.com/search-engines/ so you know we have no control over search engines positioning or appearance in the SERPs (search engine page results).
To verify blog ownership of a WordPress.com hosted blog with the major search engines you must use this process > http://en.support.wordpress.com/webmaster-tools/
Note: Even if you do not verify the blog the content will be indexed by search engines so don’t feel panicky about this please.WordPress.com automatically supplies sitemaps for our blogs to search engines – we do nothing. http://en.support.wordpress.com/sitemaps/#xml-sitemaps-for-search-engines
To gain search engine attention, I recommend that you start publishing posts (not pages) https://en.support.wordpress.com/post-vs-page/ frequently. That’s because it can take weeks for search engines to index content in a new blog and/or to re-index content under a new URL.
