Title tags and meta tags are used to describe the content, and they are often the first impressions users will see when they visit your site. Title tags are short snippets of text seen in blue lettering in Google search results. Meta tags are the longer snippets of text shown beneath the title tag in search results. Title tags and meta tags can both be optimized for readers, but only title tags have an influence on your SEO and, when done correctly, can help improve search engine rankings.

MEREDITH'S HUSBAND SAYS…
“Title tags are probable single most important elements for SEO.”
“There’s no penalty for long title tags, but Google will shorten them.  Longer title tags also dilute the strength of your keywords. Keep your title tags to a maximum of 60-65 characters."
