Frequently Asked Questions
Why are meta tags important for SEO?
Meta tags tell search engines what your page is about. The title and description appear directly in search results, influencing click-through rates and rankings.
What's the ideal title length?
Keep titles under 60 characters to avoid truncation in search results. Include your primary keyword near the beginning for best SEO impact.
How long should the description be?
Aim for 150-160 characters. This is approximately what Google displays. Include a call-to-action or compelling summary of your content.
Are keywords meta tags still useful?
Google ignores this tag for ranking, but some other search engines may still consider it. It's low priority but doesn't hurt to include relevant keywords.
What is a canonical URL?
The canonical URL tells search engines which version of a page is the 'main' one when you have duplicate content. It consolidates SEO value to one URL.
Why include Open Graph tags?
Open Graph tags control how your content appears when shared on Facebook, LinkedIn, and other platforms. Good OG tags increase engagement with shared links.
Do I need a separate OG image?
Yes, ideally. OG images should be 1200x630 pixels for best display. A compelling image dramatically increases social media click-through rates.
What does the viewport meta tag do?
The viewport tag enables responsive design by telling browsers how to scale your content on mobile devices. It's essential for mobile-friendly sites.
Should robots be set to 'index, follow'?
For most pages, yes. This tells search engines to index the page and follow its links. Use 'noindex' for private pages or 'nofollow' to prevent link following.
Where do I put these meta tags?
Place all meta tags inside the <head> section of your HTML document, ideally near the top after the <head> tag and before any scripts or stylesheets.
