Modifying meta tags

What is a meta tag?

A meta tag is a special HTML tag that provides information about a web page. Unlike normal HTML tags, meta tags do not affect how the page is displayed. Instead, they provide information such as who created the page, how often it is updated, what the page is about and which keywords represent the page's content. Some search engines use this information when building their indices.

Adding your meta description and keywords

Your meta description and keywords can be added on either every page or on a single page:

  • All pages - You can set the meta content by added it in the "SEO" section of thewebconsole.com under "Settings > Website Settings".
  • Single Pages - You can edit individual meta descriptions for individual pages by modifying it when you are in the web-editor for the actual page.

Tips:

  • Keep your meta description around 160 characters - short and to the point.
  • Make sure that the keywords used in the description and meta keywords are used in the body text.
  • Seperate keywords by a comma.
