If you want the keywords on every page, add the following to your
config.php file:

$HTMLHeaderFmt = '
<meta name="keywords" content="Sacramento Wedding DJ, Wedding DJ San
Francisco" /> ';

(That was on two lines, btw.)
(Also, I switched the tag from HTML to XHTML.)

If  you have a group, say DanceMusic, that you want the meta tag to
appear in, you have a couple of options...

Create a file in local/ with the group name, e.g. "DanceMusic.php",
that looks like this:

<?php if (!defined('PmWiki')) exit();
$HTMLHeaderFmt = '
<meta name="keywords" content="Sacramento Wedding DJ, Wedding DJ San
Francisco" /> ';

or, possibly better,

Create a page called DanceMusic.GroupHeader and include the
aforementioned (:keywords:) markup line

(:keywords Sacramento Wedding DJ, Wedding DJ San Francisco:)
