Frequently Asked Questions

Meta tags are snippets of text that describe a page's content; they don't appear on the page itself but only in the page's code. They are little content descriptors that help tell search engines what a web page is about. The most important are the title tag, meta description, and viewport tag.

The Open Graph protocol (tags starting with og:) allows you to control how your content appears when shared on social networks like Facebook and LinkedIn. Key tags include og:title, og:description, og:image, and og:url. Having correct OG tags ensures your shared links look attractive and informative.

Twitter Cards are similar to Open Graph tags but are specific to Twitter. They allow you to attach rich photos, videos, and media experiences to Tweets that drive traffic to your website. Key tags include twitter:card, twitter:title, and twitter:image. If Twitter can't find Twitter Card tags, it will fall back to using Open Graph tags instead.

A canonical tag (<link rel="canonical" ...>) tells search engines which version of a URL is the main or "preferred" one when multiple URLs have the same or very similar content. It's a critical tool for preventing duplicate content issues, which can harm your SEO performance by splitting link equity and confusing search engines.
