Your site's meta tags control how it appears in Google results and social media shares. A missing Open Graph image means your links show as plain text on Facebook. A poor meta description means Google writes one for you — usually badly. Five minutes of meta tag setup can dramatically improve click-through rates.

<head>

<link rel="canonical" href="https://example.com/page">
<!-- Open Graph (Facebook, LinkedIn) -->
<meta property="og:title" content="Page Title">
<meta property="og:description" content="Description for social shares">
<meta property="og:image" content="https://example.com/og-image.jpg">

<meta name="twitter:description" content="Description">
<meta name="twitter:image" content="https://example.com/og-image.jpg">
</head>Pro Tips
- Keep title under 60 characters and description under 160 — Google truncates longer text

- OG images should be 1200×630px for best display on Facebook and LinkedIn
