Meta Tags

What are meta tags?

Meta tags are invisible HTML tags in the head section of a page that provide information to browsers, search engines, and social media platforms. The most important ones are title, meta description, robots, canonical, viewport, as well as Open Graph and Twitter Card tags. Tags that were once considered important, such as “meta keywords,” have not played a role for Google for years. At Waterproof Web Wizard, we manage meta tags for each URL in a structured way, the title and description are the only snippet signals you can actively control.
