Meta Tags

A meta tag is an HTML tag that describes the content on a webpage. Meta tags can be viewed by selecting View/Source from the menu of a browser. Meta tags, such as the meta title and meta description play important roles in a website’s SEO plan because they contain keywords and phrases that describe a page’s content. Without it, web sites will not be properly indexed or showcased to users in search engines.
