Meta tags

    Hello, is it recommended for SEO that I use the meta tag manager and add meta tags? (I have never used tags for my website which has around 180 articles, started in 2018.) Am I correct that meta tags are different than meta titles, or are they the same? I had meta titles set with the Yoast plugin, but I think it migrated all that data over when I switched. (I followed the recommended procedures to transfer data.) Thanks! Kristen

  • Hello,

    Thank you for reaching out to us.

    Meta tags are HTML elements for adding certain types of data/information to a web page. Here’s an article explaining what they are: https://www.wordstream.com/meta-tags.

    The Meta Tag Manager is a plugin for easily adding meta tags to WordPress websites without the need to directly access the HTML code. It makes this task super easy.

    A meta title describes the topic or heading of a particular web page. In HTML code, it’s written <title>. It is also referred to as the meta title.

    However, there are other meta tags written differently. For example, <meta property="og:title" content="Explaining the meta tag"/>. This is an open graph meta tag, used by Facebook (and other social media platforms) to give proper form to the content shared from a website.

    Rank Math is adding all of these tags already to your website and assuming you have followed this guide to migrate all data from Yoast to Rank Math, the tags you had before should still be available with Rank Math so you don’t have to install another plugin as it may cause duplication with meta tags, confusing both the search engines and any social platforms.

    Let us know if you need further clarification. Thank you
