Frequently asked questions
Does the meta description affect rankings?
Not directly, but a clear description can raise click-through rate, which brings more traffic.
Why does Google show a different title or description?
Google rewrites titles and snippets when it thinks other text on the page matches the search better. Clear, accurate tags are rewritten less often.
Do I still need the meta keywords tag?
No. Google has ignored it for years.
What is Open Graph?
Tags that control how your page looks when shared on Facebook, WhatsApp, LinkedIn and others.
How do I make a good URL?
Use a short slug with your main keyword. Try the Slug Generator tool.
