What are meta tags, why is it needed and how to write it correctly?
Let's find out together.
Meta tag - HTML tags in the bucket transmit data about website pages to search engines.
Why should meta tags be written?
Title tag is a page title.
The title is displayed in the title of the browser tab and shows search engines and visitors what the page is about.
This markup attribute is taken into account by bots in site ranking.
Title is located at the beginning of the page code.
Visibility of the Title in HTML-code
It looks like a link to a site in Search.
We see a Title on the website when we hover over the browser tab. Users decide to switch or ignore the website based on how the header looks like.
In a browser
In the Search
On social media
You should rely on search results, competitor metadata, the semantic core, and query frequency in writing a Title.
Google is able to change the title if your Title is writing incorrectly.
When does this happen:
How a Title would change:
From the example, Google didn’t like a Title (or this tag wasn’t wrote), and the search engine additionally uploaded the information that was not asked at all.
Follow the rules when writing a Title to prevent this:
Correctly writing Title will raise you in the Search above competitors and bring more traffic to the site.
Common pattern:
[Main Keyword] – [Secondary Keyword] | [Brand/Site Name]
Example:
Or [Call to action] – [Phrase] – [Incentive (restriction)]

Description tag is a content or page summary.
It is taken into account during ranking to determine the page content.
The more fully Description responds to User Intent, the higher the likelihood that visitors will go to your site.
A well-written Description helps to improve behavioral factors: the CTR increases and this improves the website metrics as a whole. As a result, you become a sought-after website for search engines.

It is useful to track competitors’ tags. There is a bookmarklet allowing you to view full information about page metadata.
Also, do not neglect micro markup, especially for product cards. It is advisable to add there the product rating, number of reviews, price. Using emoji, special characters and UTF-8 encoding increase the number of clicks.
When writing meta tags, first of all, start from the list of keywords.
All meta tags should be unique.
The Title is 60-90 characters long, the Description is 70-170 characters.
The meaning of the tags should reveal the page content.
Properly compiled meta tags will raise you higher than competitors and bring more traffic to the website.
