What are Meta Tags?
Meta Tags are snippets of text that describe a page's content. They don't appear on the page itself, but rather in the HTML <head> section of the document.
They act as "data about data" and tell search engines (like Google) and social media platforms (like Facebook and Twitter) exactly what your page is about.
The Most Important Meta Tags
- Title Tag (
<title>): The most critical SEO element. It dictates the clickable headline that appears in Google search results. It should be compelling and under 60 characters. - Meta Description: A brief summary (under 160 characters) of the page. A good description acts as an advertisement, convincing users to click your link instead of a competitor's.
- Meta Keywords: While Google no longer uses the keywords tag for ranking, some smaller search engines and internal site searches still rely on it.
- Robots Tag: Tells search engine crawlers whether they are allowed to index the page (
index) and follow its links (follow).
