Frequently Asked Questions
What are meta tags and why do they matter for SEO?▾
Meta tags are HTML elements in the <head> section that provide metadata about a web page. They tell search engines and social platforms what the page is about, how to display it in results, and whether to index it. The most important SEO meta tags are <title> (appears as the clickable blue link in search results), <meta description> (the snippet text below the title), and <link canonical> (tells Google the preferred URL). Good meta tags improve click-through rates from search results.
What is the ideal meta description length?▾
The recommended meta description length is 150-160 characters. Google typically displays up to ~920px of description text on desktop (roughly 160 characters) and ~680px on mobile (roughly 120 characters). Descriptions longer than 160 characters may be truncated with "..." in search results. However, Google often rewrites descriptions entirely if it thinks its version better matches the search query. Write for users, not character counts — but stay concise.
What are Open Graph tags?▾
Open Graph (og:*) tags control how your page appears when shared on Facebook, LinkedIn, Slack, WhatsApp, Discord, and most social platforms. Key tags: og:title (share title), og:description (share description), og:image (preview image — recommended 1200x630px), og:url (canonical URL), and og:type (website, article, product). Without OG tags, platforms try to guess from page content, often producing ugly or inaccurate previews.
How do Twitter Cards work?▾
Twitter Cards (twitter:*) tags define how your links appear on Twitter/X. The twitter:card tag sets the layout: "summary" shows a small thumbnail, "summary_large_image" shows a large featured image. Twitter falls back to Open Graph tags if twitter:* tags are missing, but explicit twitter:* tags give you more control. Add twitter:site (@YourBrand) and twitter:creator (@AuthorHandle) for attribution. Validate cards at cards-dev.twitter.com.
Should I use meta keywords in 2026?▾
No — Google has officially ignored the meta keywords tag since 2009. Bing gives it minimal weight. No major search engine uses meta keywords for ranking. Some SEO tools still reference them, but they provide zero SEO value. Worse, listing your target keywords in meta keywords can help competitors see your strategy. The only exception: some internal site search engines may use them. For SEO, focus on title tags and meta descriptions instead.
How do robots meta tags affect crawling?▾
The robots meta tag tells search engines how to handle a page. "index, follow" (default) means index the page and follow its links. "noindex" prevents the page from appearing in search results. "nofollow" tells crawlers not to follow links on the page. "noarchive" prevents cached copies. "nosnippet" prevents description snippets. Use noindex for thank-you pages, admin panels, or staging content. Note: robots meta tags only work if the page is crawlable — if robots.txt blocks the page, the meta tag is never seen.
What's the difference between og:title and the title tag?▾
The <title> tag is used by search engines for the blue link in search results. og:title is used by social platforms (Facebook, LinkedIn, Slack) for the share preview title. They can be different: your title tag might include your brand name ("Best Shoes | Nike") while og:title could be shorter for social ("Best Shoes for Running"). If og:title is not set, social platforms fall back to <title>. Best practice: set both, optimize title for search intent and og:title for social engagement.
