Frequently asked questions

Why is og:image so important?

It is the picture shown when your link is shared on social media or in a chat app. Without it the link renders as a bare text row that almost nobody clicks. Use 1200×630 pixels and an absolute URL — relative paths do not work.

Does the keywords meta tag still do anything?

No. Google stopped using it in 2009 and has said so publicly. It is off by default here; the checkbox exists only for the rare internal search system that still reads it.

What happens if my title is too long?

Google truncates the displayed title around 60 characters — the page still ranks the same, but the part that gets cut is wasted. Aim to put the distinguishing words first.

Are quotes in my title handled safely?

Yes. Every value is HTML-escaped, so a title containing a double quote cannot break out of the content attribute and produce broken markup.

Which meta tags actually matter

There are dozens of meta tags and only a handful earn their place. The title and description shape how your page appears in search results. The Open Graph tags shape how it appears when shared. The canonical link tells search engines which URL is the real one. Almost everything else — keywords, revisit-after, distribution — is ignored by every major engine.

Titles and descriptions

A title should describe the page in about 60 characters, front-loading the words someone would actually search for. A description does not affect ranking, but it is advertising copy shown directly under your result — a specific, useful description earns clicks that a generic one does not. Google frequently rewrites descriptions when it thinks the page offers something better, which is a signal your description was not matching the query.

Open Graph and the social card

og:image is the tag with the largest visible payoff. A link with a card image takes up several times the screen area of a bare link in a feed or a chat message. Use an absolute URL at 1200×630, and remember that most platforms cache the image aggressively — changing it often requires their debugging tool to re-scrape.

To check your description against the display limit as you write, the character counter shows live counts. For the crawler-facing side of SEO, see the robots.txt generator and XML sitemap generator.
