    What is Search Engine Optimization (SEO)

    Search Engine Optimization (SEO) refers to the process of improving your site's organic traffic and ranking on search engines such as Google, Bing, and other search engines.

    What is a Meta tag?

    Meta tags are snippets of text that describe a page’s content. The meta tags don’t appear on the page itself, but only in the page’s source code. Meta tags are essentially little content descriptors that help tell search engines what a web page is about.
