What are meta tags and why do they matter?
Meta tags are short pieces of HTML in the <head> of your page. Visitors do not see them on the page, but Google, Bing and social networks read them to decide what to show in search results and in link previews. A clear title and description can raise your click-through rate even when your ranking stays the same.
Title tag: 50–60 characters
The title is the blue link in Google results and one of the strongest on-page ranking signals. Put the main keyword first, keep it under about 60 characters so it is not cut off, and end with your brand name. Every page should have a different title.
Meta description: 120–160 characters
The description does not directly change your ranking, but Google often shows it under the title. Treat it like a small advert: say what the page offers and why someone should click. Google may rewrite it if it does not match the search, so keep it accurate.
Canonical, robots and social tags
- Canonical tells search engines which URL is the main version, which avoids duplicate-content problems.
- Robots controls whether the page appears in search. Use noindex for thank-you pages, logins and test pages.
- Open Graph tags control the title, description and image when your link is shared on Facebook, LinkedIn and WhatsApp.
- Twitter card tags do the same for X (Twitter).
Using WordPress?
You do not need to paste code. Copy your title and description into your SEO plugin’s fields (Yoast, Rank Math or similar) – it adds the tags for you.
Frequently asked questions
How long should a meta title be?
Keep the title tag between 50 and 60 characters. Google cuts longer titles based on pixel width, so short and clear titles display best.
How long should a meta description be?
Aim for 120 to 160 characters. Shorter descriptions may look thin and longer ones are usually cut off in search results.
Do meta tags still matter for SEO?
Yes. The title tag is an important ranking signal, and a good meta description improves click-through rate. Meta keywords are not used by Google and are not needed.
What size should an Open Graph image be?
Use 1200 × 630 pixels (a 1.91:1 ratio). This size looks sharp on Facebook, LinkedIn, X and WhatsApp link previews.
Where do I paste the meta tags?
Paste them inside the <head> section of your HTML page, before the closing </head> tag. On WordPress, use an SEO plugin instead.
