What are the most important meta tags for SEO?
Critical tags: title (50-60 chars), meta description (150-160 chars), meta robots, canonical, viewport, and Open Graph tags. These influence rankings, click-through rates, and how content appears in search and social results.
How do Open Graph tags affect social media sharing?
Open Graph tags control how your content appears when shared on Facebook, LinkedIn, and other platforms. They define the title, description, image, and URL shown in the preview card, significantly impacting share appeal and CTR.
What's the difference between meta tags and microdata?
Meta tags are HTML elements in the head section (for search engines and social media). Microdata (Schema.org) is embedded in page content using structured data to provide rich snippets and enhanced SERP displays for Google.
