How long should the meta description be?

Google typically displays 150–160 characters. Stay under 160 to avoid truncation in search results. Include your primary keyword and a clear call to action.

Are meta keywords still used by Google?

No. Google has ignored the meta keywords tag since 2009. However, some other search engines (Yandex) still consider it. Include it only if you want to target those engines.

What is the robots meta tag?

The robots meta tag ( ) tells search engines how to index a page. Common values: index/noindex (include in results), follow/nofollow (whether to follow links), noarchive (no cached copy).

What is the canonical tag used for?

The canonical tag ( ) tells search engines which URL is the primary version of a page, preventing duplicate content penalties when the same content is accessible via multiple URLs.
