SEO tips Meta descriptions
Google, amongst others, use meta descriptions. The meta tag is created in the <head> section of your website. Normally it goes under your page title
To create a meta tag is fairly simple. Just copy the code below, change the wording between the speech marks and paste it underneath your page title in your html. The meta description helps to reinforce your page title and associated content.

Your meta description should include your keywords for each page and give a brief summary of the content of the page.
That is all you need do. This summary usually appears in search results under the page title.
There are other meta tags but mostly these are ignored by search engines with one or two exceptions but these are, or will be, discussed in other posts.
