Do keyword meta tags matter for Google Search?

Matt Cutts, one of the early engineers at Google, answered this question back in 2009. Just to be clear from the start, the answer is still NO.
We do not use the contents of the keyword meta tag in Google Search. John Mueller

No, they used to make a small impact if they were related to the primary keyword and the intent was there but i never put anything in the keyword tag now as all it does if anything is make your keyword more competitive.

No, Google has not used the meta keywords tag since 2009.

Google does not use them to determine ranking signals, and they provide no additional value to users.

They (Keywords) matter in the "meta description." Because Google sometimes uses meta descriptions in search results, it’s important to include the main keyword in a well-written meta description. Meta keywords are a relic of a bygone https://www.netsurge.com/ era.

No, meta keywords tags are not important in SEO as mat cutts also explained that these tags are not profitable for your website SEO. Your competitors can easily understand what keywords you are targeting on a single page.
