Meta Tags FAQ

Title tags: 50-60 characters (Google typically displays the first 50-60 characters)

Meta descriptions: 120-160 characters (may be truncated if longer)

OG/Twitter titles: Same as meta titles but some platforms may display more

While meta tags don't directly influence rankings, they significantly impact:

  • Click-through rates (CTR): Well-written tags can improve CTR by 5-30%
  • User engagement: Proper tags set correct expectations, reducing bounce rates
  • Content understanding: Helps search engines properly index your pages

Yes, absolutely. Each page should have:

  • Unique, descriptive title tags
  • Custom meta descriptions highlighting page-specific content
  • Page-specific Open Graph and Twitter Cards
  • Proper canonical URLs for all pages

Duplicate meta tags can confuse search engines and hurt your SEO.

Consider updating meta tags when:

  • Your content significantly changes
  • You're targeting new keywords
  • Seasonal updates are needed (e.g., "2025" in titles)
  • CTR from search results declines

For most blogs/business sites, reviewing meta tags quarterly is good practice.

Meta keywords: An outdated tag that search engines largely ignore. Our tool includes it for completeness, but focus instead on:

  • Content keywords: Naturally appearing in your page content
  • Title/description keywords: In your visible meta tags
  • Header tags: H1, H2 containing target keywords

Google may rewrite meta descriptions when:

  • The description doesn't match the search query
  • Your description is too generic
  • Google finds more relevant content on your page
  • The description exceeds length limits

To increase display chances, ensure descriptions are:

  • Relevant to page content
  • Contain primary keywords naturally
  • Under 160 characters
  • Unique for each page
