An HTML meta tag (Title Tag) that acts as the title of a web . Typically, the title tag is the title that search engines use when displaying search listings, including strategic and relevant keywords

The title tag should also be written to make sense to people and attract as many clicks as possible. Typically, title tags should be fewer than 65 characters.

Meta tag for robots or robots.txt

The robots meta tag, or robots, is a code that provides instructions to crawlers to crawl or index the content of a web page. A robots.txt file suggests which parts of your website search engines should or should not crawl.

The robots exclusion protocol (or standard) is a text file, accessible in the root directory of a website, that tells search engine crawlers which areas of the site should be ignored.

X-robots-tag

Like robot meta tags, this tag provides instructions to crawlers to crawl or index the content of the web page.

Header tags

Rel = canonical

A tag that allows website owners to inform Google which version of a web page is the original and which are duplicates.

Title tag

An HTML element that specifies the title of a web page.

Hreflang

A tag that tells Google what language the content is in. Hreflang helps Google provide the appropriate language version of your page to people searching in that language.

Meta Description

A tag that can be added to the "header" section of an HTML document. It acts as a description of the content of a web page.

Accurate and engaging descriptions can increase organic click-through rates.

Meta Keywords

Meta Keywords is a tag that can be added to the "main" section of an HTML document. Adding too many keywords here will not help with ranking – search engine algorithms have ignored this tag for ranking purposes for years due to abuse (in the form of keyword stuffing).

Tag Nosnippet
