What are Title tags?

A title tag is an HTML element that specifies the title of a web page. Title tags are displayed on search engine results pages (SERPs) as the clickable headline for a given result and are essential for usability, SEO, and social sharing.

What are Meta tags?

Meta tags are similar to title tags in their HTML properties, but contain minor descriptors that help tell search engines what a web page contains. These tags are essential because search engines read them to determine if your keywords are related to the visible content versus what a person might be searching for.

Adding Site Titles and Meta Descriptions to your pages

The first step to optimizing your website for SEO is adding a thoughtful Site Title and Meta Description to every page. You can create content by hiring an SEO expert or by doing your own keyword research. Google provides a keyword research planner here: Google Keyword Planner.

Once you have your content and have accessed the Website Builder Dashboard, add it to your website by following these steps:

1. Click Edit Site.
   
2. From your website builder's central dashboard, select Pages.
   
3. Select the 3 Horizontal Lines from the Pages menu known as the Hamburger Menu.
   
4. Click Settings.
   
5. Scroll down the Manage Pages Settings window to the Page SEO section.
6. Enter the criteria into the respective sections according to your SEO requirements.
