As you might already be aware, it\u2019s basically the cornerstone of search engine optimization. Keywords and content aside, properly-optimized metadata is critical to your ranking efforts.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<!--more-->\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">But what <strong>is <\/strong>it, exactly? &nbsp;In broad strokes, it\u2019s intended to summarize content or describe elements on a webpage for the sake of search engine robots. It comes in a few distinctive flavors. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\"><li><strong>Meta description.<\/strong> A brief explanation of a page\u2019s content that occasionally appears on the Search Engine Results Page. Although <a href=\"https:\/\/elite-strategies.com\/learn-seo\/on-page-seo\/meta-description-optimization\/\">meta descriptions aren\u2019t likely used as a ranking factor,they <strong>can <\/strong>drive traffic to your page<\/a> &#8211; they\u2019re the first impression most users will have of it. <\/li><li><strong>Keywords.<\/strong> We\u2019re only mentioning keywords here to say that they\u2019re no longer used as a ranking factor by any search engine. It\u2019s a field you shouldn\u2019t bother filling out &#8211; instead, focus on working the keywords you want to target into the copy of your page. <\/li><li><strong>Title tags. <\/strong>By far the most important piece of metadata you\u2019ll manage, title tags are essential to both your site\u2019s rank and the experience it offers to end-users. A good title tag features the keyword or keyphrase for its page and gives users an idea of exactly what to expect if they click through. &nbsp;&nbsp;<\/li><li><strong>Header tags. <\/strong>Header tags are used to break up long-form content into more easily-digestible chunks. They\u2019re more for usability and readability than SEO, though you <strong>can <\/strong>insert the occasional keyword in all the same (just do so sparingly). <\/li><li><strong>Image tags.<\/strong> These HTML elements display images on a page by identifying the URL where each image is hosted. They\u2019re not really important for SEO &#8211; but the alt text that goes with them is, as it provides a short text description of the image for both users and search engines. <\/li><li><strong>Canonical tags. <\/strong>These ensure that, for websites that typically feature highly-similar pages, one page is identified as the \u2018master copy.\u2019 They\u2019re essential to avoid being penalized for duplicate content. <\/li><li><strong>Schema. <\/strong>A relatively new concept as SEO is concerned, schema markup is a little too complicated for us to get into today. &nbsp;It\u2019s basically a data markup scheme designed to help search engines better contextualize the relationship between different concepts, pages, and websites. We\u2019ll discuss it in a bit more depth at a later date. <\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Higher visibility on the SERP. A better user experience. More accurate, effective indexing. These are just a few of the reasons metadata matters where your optimization efforts are concerned.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The good news is that, aside from schema (which, as mentioned, we\u2019ll examine in greater depth in a later post), metadata is actually quite simple once you understand how it works. At the end of the day, it\u2019s really just a matter of entering the right information. Bear that in mind, and it\u2019s really not so intimidating at all. <br><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Today, we\u2019re going to talk about metadata.
