How long should a meta title be?

Google typically displays 50-60 characters of a page title. Titles over 60 characters are truncated. The most important keywords should appear early in the title. A good format is "Primary Keyword — Brand Name".

How long should a meta description be?

Meta descriptions are truncated at around 155-160 characters on desktop. Aim for 140-155 characters to avoid truncation. While meta descriptions do not directly affect rankings, a compelling description improves click-through rate from search results.

What does the robots meta tag do?

"index" tells search engines to index the page; "noindex" excludes it. "follow" allows crawling of links; "nofollow" prevents it. Use noindex for thank-you pages, admin panels, and duplicate content you do not want ranked.

What is a canonical URL?

A canonical tag tells search engines which URL is the preferred version of a page when multiple URLs show the same content. This prevents duplicate content penalties from URLs with tracking parameters or session IDs.
