The Ultimate Guide to Meta Tags
Meta tags are snippets of text that describe a page's content; the meta tags generally don't appear on the page itself, but only in the page's source code. They are essentially little content descriptors that help tell search engines what a web page is about.
Key Meta Tags Explained
Title Tag
The single most important on-page SEO element. It appears in the browser tab and as the main blue link in Google.
Meta Description
A 160-character summary that appears below the title. Think of this as your "ad copy" to convince users to click.
Open Graph (og:image)
The image that automatically appears when your link is shared on social media. Without this, platform will guess (often incorrectly) which image to show.
