Frequently Asked Questions
What are meta tags?
Meta tags are HTML tags that provide metadata about a web page. They are placed in the head section and are not visible to users. Meta tags are read by search engines, social media platforms, and browsers to understand and display your page correctly.
Which meta tags are most important for SEO?
The title tag (60 chars) and meta description (160 chars) are most important. They appear in search results and influence click-through rates. The canonical tag prevents duplicate content issues. Other tags like robots and viewport are also important.
What are Open Graph tags?
Open Graph (og:) tags are meta tags used by Facebook, LinkedIn, and other platforms to display your page when shared. They control the title, description, and image that appear in social media posts. Proper OG tags improve social sharing appearance.
What are Twitter Card tags?
Twitter Card (twitter:) tags are similar to Open Graph but specific to Twitter. They control how your page appears when shared on Twitter. The most common type is 'summary_large_image' which shows a large image preview.
Do meta tags affect search rankings?
