When meta-tagging a website home page (and other pages) with key words, is it sufficient just to put the key words in the page description and key-words box under web properties, or should you also put them into the 'body' of the page to improve search ranking? 

I appreciate you cant tell me how to get top ranking and there is more to it than just key words, but I had somebody (a friend of a friend in SEO) look at my webpage online and I was told that no key words appeared on my homepage? Strange bearing in mind I have entered key words in the web-properties box, now I'm not sure that box even does anything!

If it is necessary to also enter key words into the html 'body' under web-properties, do you simply list key words each separated by a comma, or can you write entire phrases in the body at well?.. Image attached. Thank you.
