What to know
Metadata helps browsers, search engines and social platforms understand and preview a page. A generated snippet is only a starting point: each page should have an accurate, distinct title and description, and its canonical URL must point to the preferred live page.
Frequently asked questions
Does a meta description guarantee a ranking boost?
No. Search engines may use the description as a snippet, rewrite it, or choose page text. It is not a guaranteed ranking factor.
What should a canonical URL contain?
Use the full preferred absolute URL, normally HTTPS, with the correct hostname and path. Do not canonicalize unrelated pages to one URL.
Can every page use the same title?
No. Give each indexable page a distinct title that describes its actual purpose.
