Questions people ask.

What are meta tags, in plain terms?

They are small bits of code in a page’s <head> that tell Google and social platforms what the page is about: its title, a short description, and the image to show when someone shares the link. Visitors never see them directly, but they decide what your listing and link previews look like.

Why does my link share without an image?

You are missing an og:image tag, or the one you have points at a relative or broken URL. Social platforms need an absolute https URL to an image that is ideally 1200 by 630 pixels. Add one and re-scrape the page.

How long should my title and description be?

Titles are usually safe up to about 60 characters before Google truncates them. Descriptions are best between 120 and 160. Neither is a hard limit, and Google often rewrites descriptions anyway, but staying in range keeps things tidy.

I updated my tags but the old preview still shows.

Facebook, LinkedIn and X cache link previews. Use each platform’s own debugger (Facebook Sharing Debugger, LinkedIn Post Inspector, the X Card validator) to force a fresh scrape.

Do meta keywords still matter?

No. Google has ignored the meta keywords tag for well over a decade. Focus on the title, description and Open Graph tags instead.
