The Complete Guide to Meta Tags
Meta tags are the invisible backbone of SEO. These HTML elements don't appear on your page, but they tell search engines and social platforms everything they need to know about your content. From controlling how your pages appear in Google to crafting the perfect social media preview, meta tags are essential.
