How to use the Meta Tag Analyzer

A key step is to ensure your website uses the correct meta tags, specifically title, description and social media tags called Open Graph. These ensure your website or blog correctly appears on social media channels such as Facebook or Twitter when shared.

1. Enter a domain or page you would like to analyze

2. The Meta Tags Analyzer will review the site and return with a list of results

• Meta Title: The meta title is a tag that specifies the title of a web page. These tags are displayed on search engine results pages as the main headline of a search result.
• Meta Description: The meta description tag is used to summarise a page's content. It is displayed on search engine result pages as the description underneath the title of a result.
• Meta Keywords: Meta keywords tag used to be a popular years ago as a ranking factor, but now ignored due to users spamming the technique,  and no longer a ranking factor. However, the tool can be used to identify any pages where a meta keyword tag still remains, or to identify any competitor pages that are using meta keywords to rank for particular keywords.
• Meta Viewport: Using the meta viewport tag, you can ensure mobile devices render pages for mobile. The tag tells browsers how to control the page dimensions and scaling.
• Site Name: The name of the website, search engines tend to show the site name in your search results, ensure you use the right one.
• Author: Check whether the right author name is being picked up for an article page
• Open Graph: Open Graph meta tags are snippets of code that control how pages are displayed when you share them on social media channels. Originally part of Facebook's Open Graph protocol, many other social media sites such as Twitter and LinkedIn recognise the tags, and use them to correctly display an image, text and description of a page shared.
