Frequently Asked Questions

What is a meta title tag?▼

A meta title tag is an HTML element that defines the title of a web page. It appears as the clickable headline in search results and in the browser tab. For best SEO results, keep it between 30-60 characters and include your primary keyword.

How long should a meta description be?▼

Aim for 120-160 characters. Google typically shows up to 155 characters on desktop. Write a compelling summary that includes your target keyword and encourages users to click through.

Do meta keywords still matter?▼

Google does not use meta keywords as a ranking factor. However, they can be useful for internal site search and some minor search engines still reference them.

What is the robots meta tag?▼

The robots meta tag instructs search engine crawlers how to handle your page. 'index, follow' is the default. Use 'noindex' to prevent a page from appearing in search results, or 'nofollow' to prevent search engines from following links on the page.

What are Open Graph tags?▼

Open Graph (OG) tags control how your content looks when shared on social media platforms like Facebook and LinkedIn. They specify the title, description, image, and URL for the shareable card preview.

Do meta tags directly affect rankings?▼

The title tag is a direct Google ranking factor. The meta description indirectly impacts rankings through CTR. Tags like robots and canonical are critical for technical SEO and indexing control.

What is a canonical tag?▼

A canonical tag tells search engines which URL is the 'master' version of a page. This is essential when the same content is accessible from multiple URLs, helping prevent duplicate content issues.

What is the best OG image size?▼

The recommended Open Graph image size is 1200×630 pixels (1.91:1 ratio). This works well across Facebook, LinkedIn, Twitter, and Discord. Minimum recommended is 600×315 pixels.
