The importance of meta tags
Meta tags are the first impression users get of your site on Google. A good title and description can double your CTR.
Title tag
The title should be 50-60 characters. Include the primary keyword at the start, the brand at the end, and use separators like | or -.
Meta description
Between 120-160 characters. It should be an attractive summary including the keyword and an implicit call to action.
Robots meta tag
Control how search engines index and follow links on your page. Use noindex for internal pages like thank-you or login.
Viewport meta tag
Essential for responsive design. Ensures your site displays correctly on mobile devices.
Open Graph and Twitter Cards
These meta tags control how your content displays when shared on social media. Include specific image, title, and description.
Canonical tag
Indicates the preferred URL when there's duplicate or similar content. Prevents duplicate content penalties.
