I want to add an Article schema and include 10-15 keywords in it. Is this a good SEO practice or a potential risk? I would appreciate guidance from experienced professionals on the recommended number of keywords and best practices to avoid over-optimisation or schema misuse.

      Concentrating on a few keywords is better. Have you tried doing this when optimising your page for SEO.

    It is better to use your main keyword and some secondary keywords.
    This way you avoid keyword stuffing and keep the content clear

    I have been doing SEO optimization for six years. I only use nine keywords in each article and there is no keyword stuffing.

    stuffing keywords into schema doesn't really help. Article schema is for describing the article, not for SEO keyword lists. I'd just use normal fields (headline, date, author, etc.) and let the content handle the keywords. adding 10-15 keywords there feels more like a risk than a benefit.

    Schema is no longer the best place to focus on keywords. Google primarily uses schema to understand content rather than to determine rankings. I've found that keeping schema minimal and accurate provides better results, allowing the page content to establish relevance. Overloading schema with keywords usually adds no value and can sometimes do more harm than good.

    Best practice is to focus on the primary topic only
