All you need to know about meta tags in SEO

Meta tags are one of the useful elements of a website that provides the information about a web page to the search engines and website visitors.
We put these tags in the <head> section of an HTML document.

Alt tag -

Alt tags are used to describe the images to people with visual impairments. Search engines can't see images but can read with the help of Alt attribute.

Canonical tag -

Canonical Tag helps webmasters to solve www and non-www duplicate content. If there are two identical pieces of content then you must include a canonical tag which contains the original published content.

The Canonical Tag will look like
<link rel=”canonical” href=”http://example.com/” />





H1 – H6 tags -


H1 to H6 heading tags are used to define priorities of subheadings in your content to Google and other search engines.

Nofollow -


Nofollow is a useful HTML tag that tells robots not to index the page having Nofollow tag.

Add rel=“nofollow” to the link that you do not want to crawl by the search engines.

Title tag -


Title tag is used to describe the information about a web page for the search engines and website users.

You can write your own title tag inside the <head> area of your site’s HTML:

<head>
<title>Example Title</title>
</head>
