Metadata serves as the skeleton for your website by providing information about the data on your site. This data can be optimized just like the content on your site. Here are three kinds of metadata that can be optimized:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    \n
  1. Title Metadata<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n

    Title metadata is the most important data on your website. It is what leads your page and makes the first waves on your site. If you optimize any metadata, let it be your title metadata, as its the face of your site on the SERP. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

    2. Description Metadata<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    Description metadata is the information provided below your title on the SERP. This brief description can’t always be controlled by the site owner, as Google will often choose the description from your site, but with proper optimization, this information can be controlled. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

    3. Keyword Metadata <\/p>\n\n\n\n

    Keyword metadata is a less utilized tool but can still be relevant when optimizing your site. The kicker to proper keyword metadata keeping the keywords broad and concise. The shorter they are, the more likely it is that they are searched. The more broad they are, the more likely it is that a search will fall under their umbrella. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
