Meta tags are elements used to provide information about an HTML document or website. The Meta tags will not be displayed on the page, but will be machine parsable. Meta elements are typically used to specify page description, keywords, author of the document, last modified, and other metadata.


Instructions

  • From the left panel menu click on Theme Options > SEO.

  • The Search Engine Optimization screen will open. Fill the Meta Tags fields as explained below:
  • SiteTitle – The META tag title while important for search engines is also publicly visible (it is displayed at the top left of browser window). It is recommended that the META tag title is set to include your business name, type and location.

  • Site Description – Like the title, the META tag description is important for search engines and publicly visible. Where you see a page of search results the page title will be displayed (as a clickable link) followed by the META tag description. We recommend a short paragraph which will entice the search engine user to click through to your website.

  • Site Keywords – The META tag keywords are read by search engines and are not seen by the public (apart from savvy web users who chose to view your web page source code). As key words are restricted to 255 characters do not waste space by inserting commas. Refrain from repeating the same word more than 3 times as this can negatively affect your ranking (deemed to be “key word stuffing”). However, do purposely misspell words – since must of us tend to type really quickly and misspell easily.
