Meta Tags

A Meta Tag describes some aspects of the contents of a web page. The information that you provide in a Meta Tag is used by search engines to index a page so that someone searching on the Internet for content contained in your website will be able to find it. The Meta Tag is placed near the top of the HTML in a Web page as part of the heading.

• All your most important key phrases should be in the TITLE tag. Look at your key phrases, make a list of all the important words, and create a title tag that uses them. Also, keep in mind that browsers only display the first few words of a title tag. The first sentence of your title tag should be easy to read and understand.
• The Keywords Meta Tag lists the words or phrases that best describe the contents of the web page.
• The Description Meta Tag includes a brief (one or two sentences) description of the page.

1. NOTE

   The title, keyword and description tag are used by search engines to index your website page and assign a position based on their relevancy to the search query (keyword).

How to change Meta Tags

Agents, who are comfortable manipulating keywords, site titles, and Meta Tags, can make these changes through the Meta Tag editor. Typically, the document which contains the most keywords searched and relevant to the website content is classified by the search engine as the most popular and will be selected as the "best match".

To change your website Meta Tags:

1. Click Website Editor on the left panel of the Toolkit screen.
2. Scroll down to the section on Meta Tags for your website.
3. Add or update the words in the Title, Description and Keyword fields.
