Title Tags and Meta Descriptions

The title tag is one of the most important elements on a page. It’s the clickable blue headline shown in search results, and it’s also one of the strongest signals search engines use to understand what a page is about.

A good title tag is around 50 to 60 characters, includes the primary keyword near the beginning, and reads naturally rather than like a list of keywords crammed together. If it’s too long, search engines will cut it off with "...".

The meta description is the snippet of text below the title in search results. It doesn’t directly affect rankings, but it strongly affects whether someone clicks your result over a competitor’s. Aim for around 120 to 155 characters, and make it sound like a reason to click, not just a keyword list.
